12.5 Firmware update
Options for the firmware update
The following options are available for updating firmware:
● Online via PROFINET IO/PROFIBUS DP (with STEP 7)
● Using a SIMATIC memory card (possible for CPU and central I/O modules)
● Via the integrated Web server (possible for CPU as well as central and distributed I/O
modules)
Note
Firmware files of the CPU
If you perform a CPU update with STEP 7, you require STEP 7 (TIA Portal as of V13 Update

The table below provides an overview of the media that can be used to update the firmware
of a specific module.

* If the firmware files are only available in this format, you can also install the files using STEP 7
(TIA Portal) but not the SIMATIC memory card or the Web server.
Installation of the firmware update
Risk of impermissible system states
The CPU switches to STOP mode or the interface module to "station failure" as a result of
the firmware update being installed. STOP or station failure can have an adverse effect on
the operation of an online process or a machine.
Unexpected operation of a process or a machine can lead to fatal or severe injuries and/or
to material damages.
Make sure that the CPU/interface module is not executing any active process before
installing the firmware update.
