Firmware update of device components

Various device components of the SIMOCODE pro system allow a firmware update to be
performed.
For example, the basic unit SIMOCODE pro V EIP.
The current firmware versions can be obtained on request from Support Request (see
Support Request (https://support.industry.siemens.com/My/ww/en/requests)).
The firmware update can be performed with the SIMOCODE ES software (TIA Portal or with
STEP 7). It is to be found at the online accesses to the SIMOCODE device under
"Online & Diagnostics → Functions → Firmware Update": Enter the path to the firmware file
here and click on "Start update".
