Loading the firmware basic package
You can only load a new firmware driver package via the Ethernet interface of the TIM.
To load firmware, you require an Industrial Ethernet CP module in the PG/PC (for example,
CP 1613) or a normal Ethernet module with the "Softnet" software package.
On your PG, set the S7-ONLINE interface to the "ISO - Industrial Ethernet" protocol. It is not
possible to download using TCP/IP (and therefore not to other networks).
Follow these steps:
1. Connect the PG to the TIM.
2. Open the NCM S7 firmware loader on the PG.
3. First press the RESET button of the TIM briefly to bring it to a loadable status.
The TIM restarts and turns on all LEDs for 5 seconds.
4. During these 5 seconds during which all LEDs are lit, press the RESET button again until
the “RUN” LED starts to flash.
As soon as the “RUN” LED flashes you can release the button.
The TIM is in a loadable status.
5. Now start the loading of the firmware basic package using the NCM S7 firmware loader.
You will find detailed information on this topic in the online help of the firmware loader.
When loading begins, the “STOP” LED of the TIM starts to flash and continues until the
procedure is completed.
After loading the TIM restarts.
