Firmware Update Using Wbm Not Possible - Siemens SIMATIC NET SCALANCE S615 Configuration Manual

5.3

Firmware update using WBM not possible

Cause
If there is a power failure during the firmware update, it is possible that the device is no
longer accessible using WBM and CLI.
Requirement
● The PC is connected to the device via the interface.
● A TFTP client is installed on the PC and the firmware file exists.
Solution
You can then also transfer firmware to the device using TFTP.
Follow the steps below to load new firmware using TFTP:
1. Now press the SET button.
2. Hold down the button until the red fault LED (F) starts to flash after approximately 3
seconds.
Note
If you hold down the SET button for approximately 10 seconds, the device is reset to its
factory settings and can be reached with the IP address 192.168.1.1.
3. Now release the button. The bootloader waits in this state for new firmware file that you
can download by TFTP.
Note
If you want to exit the boot loader without making changes, press the SET button briefly.
The device restarts with the loaded configuration.
4. Connect a PC to the device over the Ethernet interface.
5. Open a DOS box and change to the directory where the new firmware file is located and
then execute the command "tftp -i <ip address> PUT <firmware>". As an alternative, you
can use a different TFTP client.
If you are not sure that the IP address is correct, you can check this, for example with the
Primary Setup Tool.
Note
Using TFTP
If you want to access TFTP in Windows 7, make sure that the corresponding Windows
function is enabled in the operating system.
