Module information: Firmware tab

The firmware tab of the module information page displays information about the firmware of

the selected module. If you have the "perform firmware update" privilege (Page 1005), you

can also perform a firmware update of the CPU or other modules in the local rack that

support firmware update. For remote modules, you can view the firmware information, but

not perform a firmware update.

For updating CPU firmware, you can only update S7-1200 CPUs of version 3.0 and higher.

Performing a firmware update

The CPU must be in STOP mode to perform a firmware update. When the CPU is in STOP

mode, click the Browse button to navigate to and select a firmware file. Firmware updates

are available on the Siemens Industry Online Support Web site

(http://support.industry.siemens.com).

During the update, the page displays a message showing that the update is in progress.

After the update completes, the page displays the article number and version number of the

updated firmware. If you updated the firmware for the CPU or a signal board, the Web server

restarts the CPU.

You can also perform a firmware update by one of these methods:

● Using the online and diagnostic tools of STEP 7 (Page 1318)

● Using a SIMATIC memory card (Page 148)

● Using the SIMATIC Automation Tool
