By means of a MMC there is the opportunity to execute a firmware update at the CPU
and its components. This functionality is available starting with CPU firmware V 3.4.0.
For update an accordingly prepared MMC must be in the CPU during the start-up.
n
Thus a firmware file may be recognized and assigned with start-up, a pkg file name is
reserved for each updateable component and hardware release, which begins with
"px" and differs in a number with six digits. The pkg file name of every updateable
component may be found at a label right down the front flap of the module.
n
As soon as with start-up a pkg file is on the MMC, all the components at the bus and
in the CPU, assigned to the pkg file, get the new firmware.
n
The latest 2 firmware versions may be found in the service area at www.vipa.com.
CAUTION!
Please regard that the version of the update firmware is different from the
existing firmware otherwise no update is executed.
1.
The SPEED7 CPU has an integrated web page that monitors information about
firmware version of the connected components. The Ethernet PG/OP channel pro-
vides the access to this web page.
2.
To activate the PG/OP channel you have to enter according IP parameters. This
can be made in Siemens SIMATIC manager either by a hardware configuration,
loaded by MMC respectively MPI or via Ethernet by means of the MAC address
with 'PLC è Assign Ethernet Address'.
ð After that you may access the PG/OP channel with a web browser via the IP
address of the project engineering. More detailed information may be found in
the manual of the CPU at "Access to the web server".
1.
Go to www.vipa.com
2.
Click on 'Service è Download è Firmware'
3.
Choose the according CP and download the .zip file Px000081.pkg to your PC.
4.
Extract the zip-file and copy the extracted file to your MMC.
5.
Following this approach, transfer all wanted firmware files to your MMC.
1.
Get the RUN-STOP lever of your CPU in position STOP.
Turn off the voltage supply.
Plug the MMC with the firmware files into the CPU. Please take care of the correct
plug-in direction of the MMC.
Turn on the voltage supply.
2.
After a short boot-up time, the alternate blinking of the LEDs SF and FRCE shows
that at least one firmware was found on the MMC, which differs from the current
version.
