Transferring the new firmware version to the SIWAREX module
Note
During the firmware transfer, the SIWAREX module works to a limited extent with the old
firmware version, and the new firmware is flashed in the background. For this reason, you
must not switch off the module during the firmware transfer.
1. Set the SIMATIC CPU to "STOP".
2. Register with SIWATOOL on the SIWAREX module.
3. Call the firmware download using the function key
4. Select the current firmware file under "Firmware Download".
5. Click the "Start transfer" button.
Following the transfer, the SIWAREX module must be switched off and then on again. This
activates the new firmware.
If the firmware file was not successfully uploaded, the following FAQ will assist you with
troubleshooting: (https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/document/109476228)
