The procedure corresponds to that in HW Config; the menu command here is also "PLC >
Update firmware". However, STEP 7 checks whether the module supports the function only
at the time of execution.
Note
Protecting the update
In order to protect the firmware update, there is a digital signature that is checked by the
CPU during the update. If an error is detected, the old firmware remains active and the new
firmware is rejected.
Values retained after a firmware update
The following values are retained after a CPU memory reset:
● IP address of the CPU
● Device name (NameOfStation)
● Subnet mask
● Static SNMP parameters
