Configuring and Parameterizing the CP 440
Downloading Firmware
You download the firmware update to the CP 440 with the aid of the CP 440:
Point-to-Point Communication, Parameter Assignment parameterization interface.
Proceed as follows:
1. Switch the CPU to STOP mode.
2. Start the parameterization interface (see also Section 5.2):
In SIMATIC Manager: File > Open Object > Project > Open Hardware Config
> double-click CP 440 > choose the "Parameter" button.
3. Choose the Options > Firmware Update menu command.
Result:
If a connection can be established to the CP 440, the current module firmware
status is displayed.
If there is no firmware loaded on the CP 440, " – – – – " appears. This can
occur, for example, if a firmware update is canceled. The old firmware is
deleted in this case. You have to upload firmware to the module before it can be
restarted.
4. 3. Click the "Find File ..." button to select the firmware to be loaded
(header.upd).
Result:
The version of the firmware you select is displayed under "Status of selected
firmware:".
5. Click the "Load Firmware" button to start uploading to the CP 440. You are
prompted for confirmation. The upload procedure is canceled immediately if you
click the "Cancel" button.
Note:
Before the basic firmware is deleted from the module, the CP 440 checks the
MLFB No. of the firmware to be downloaded in order to ensure that the
firmware is suitable for the CP 440.
Result:
The new firmware is loaded into the operating-system memory of the CP 440.
Under "Done" you can follow the progress of the operation in the form of a bar
chart and as a percentage. The module is immediately ready for operation
following the firmware update.
Power Failure During Firmware Uploading
If there is a failure when the firmware is being uploaded, the process must be
repeated. The module then has the state "CP 440 without module firmware" (see
Table 5-15).
