Steps in repairing
Repairing involves the following steps:
● The flash disk of the TIM module is formatted. After formatting, the TIM module runs a
reset.
● This is followed by a default startup.
● Once the wait time for the default startup has elapsed, the firmware version installed on
the computer is downloaded to the TIM.
● Following this, the system data blocks are transferred to the TIM module.
● The module is then reset and resumes operation with its full functionality.
Note
You can download the new firmware via Ethernet or the MPI interface.
If you download the firmware using the MPI interface (TIM as a CP in the S7
-300), then
during the new installation of the firmware, the TIM module uses MPI address 3. Make
sure that this address is free on the MPI bus to which the TIM module is connected.
