Loading firmware
Start downloading procedure
1. In the Windows Start menu, select the menu command SIMATIC > STEP 7 > NCM S7 >
Firmware Loader.
2. Click "Next" and follow the instructions in the dialog fields that follow. A help function is
integrated in the software as support.
Note
Ensure that the loader file you are using for the update is suitable for the version of
firmware on your module. If you have any doubts, contact your local Siemens consultant.
Note
Be aware that aborting the loading process may result in an inconsistent state in your
module.
You can find additional, detailed information about the individual loader variants in the
integrated help.
Note
When loading the firmware or commissioning the module, be aware that the CP 1616
onboard takes five MAC addresses (always in direct sequence). The first two addresses are
displayed in the BIOS, in the "Peripheral Configuration" submenu of the "Advanced" menu.
Example
The lower MAC address at "Profinet" is provided for Layer 2 communication, while the
second one is used for Ethernet/PROFINET communication.
