Maintenance And Service; Firmware Update; Reset To Factory Settings - Siemens SIMATIC PN/BACnet LINK Operating Instructions Manual

Maintenance and service

11.1

Firmware update

Procedure
1. Set the S7 CPU to STOP mode.
2. Start the update of the PN/BACnet LINK in the TIA Portal. Depending on the configuration
in the TIA Portal, the PN/BACnet LINK resumes running on its own after a successful
update and waits for configuration information from the S7 controller.
3. For operation, reset the S7 CPU to RUN mode.
Critical plant state
The Ethernet switch installed in the PN/BACnet LINK is only in operation after run-up of the
PN/BACnet LINK. A restart of the PN/BACnet LINK interrupts the Ethernet Switch function.
Existing Ethernet connections over the switch are interrupted for the duration of the
PN/BACnet LINK startup. This can result in critical plant states.
11.2

Reset to factory settings

In the TIA Portal you have the option of resetting the device to factory settings.
The following data is deleted on reset to factory settings:
● PROFINET parameter assignment (IP address for the PN side, PN name) and the SNMP
parameters
● The I&M data are also deleted depending on the setting in the TIA Portal.
