Firmware update
There is the opportunity to execute a firmware update for the CPU and its
components via
MMC. For this an accordingly prepared MMC must be in
the CPU during the startup.
So a firmware files can be recognized and assigned with startup, a file
name is reserved for each updateable component (see table below).
After PowerON and CPU STOP the CPU checks if there is a firmware file
on the MMC. If this firmware version is different to the existing firmware
version, this is indicated by blinking of the LEDs and the firmware may be
installed by an update request.
The latest firmware versions are to be found in the service area at
www.vipa.com
A label on the rear of the module indicates the firmware version.
You may display the current firmware version of your CPU via the Siemens
SIMATIC manager. To display the firmware version, you go online with the
CPU via your PG or PC and start the Siemens SIMATIC manager.
Via PLC > Module status, register "General", the current firmware version is
evaluated and displayed.
