Firmware Update of S7-1500 CPU/interface module, display and I/O modules.

-

Update the firmware of the CPU/interface module, display and the I/O modules using firmware files. The retentive data is retained after the execution of the firmware update. 

Options for Firmware Update

  • Online in Step7 via Online and Diagnostics
  • Online in Step7 via accessible devices (Profinet)
  • Via Simatic memory card.
  • Via integrated web server
  • Online via the Simatic automation tool.
Step 7 via Online and Diagnostics

  • Open "Online and Diagnostic" option . Select Firmware update option under "Function". For CPU you can select display or CPU. screenshot as below:


  • Click the "Browse" button to select the firmware update files in the "Firmware update" 
    area.
  • Select the matching firmware file. The table in the firmware update area lists all modules 
    for which an update is possible with the selected firmware file. 
  • Click the "Run update" button. If the module can interpret the selected file, the file is 
    downloaded to the module. If you must change the CPU mode, STEP 7 prompts you to 
    do so with dialogs. 
  • If a firmware update is interrupted, you need to remove and insert the module before starting 
    the firmware update again. 
Online in Step7 via accessible device
  • Basically you have to communicate with Online device and select in the accessible device under communicating drive at left side options of TIA.
  • From there you will select online and diagnostic and repeat 1st Option.
Simatic Memory card
  • Insert a SIMATIC memory card into the SD card reader of your PG/PC. 
  • To store the update file on the SIMATIC memory card, select the SIMATIC memory card in the "Card Reader/USB memory" folder in the project tree.
  • Select the "Card Reader/USB memory > Create firmware update memory card" command in the "Project" menu. 
  • Use a file selection dialog to navigate to the firmware update file. In a further step you can decide whether you are deleting the content of the SIMATIC memory card or adding the firmware update files to the SIMATIC memory card.
  • Insert the SIMATIC memory card with the firmware update files into the CPU.
  • The firmware update begins shortly after the SIMATIC memory card has been plugged. 
  • The display indicates that the CPU is in STOP mode, and that a firmware update is being executed: "STOP - FW UPDATE". The display shows the progress of the firmware update. The CPU shows any errors that occur during the firmware update on the display. 
  • Remove the SIMATIC memory card after the firmware update is complete. The RUN LED on the CPU lights up in yellow and the MAINT LED flashes yellow. If you subsequently wish to use the SIMATIC memory card as a program card, leave the SIMATIC memory card in the CPU. To do so, after completion of the firmware update, select the "Convert memory card" menu item on the display.

Project Migration in TIA from Older version to TIA V17

-
Image
  TIA Project Migration Project will be automatically migrated to TIA V17, if it is prepared in TIA V13 SP1 or higher. The option packages needed for the project must be installed on your system in current version. TIA project with version less then TIA V13 SP1 is to be firstly compiled in TIA V13 SP1 and then can be opened in higher version. Compile can be done as below: Compile -------> Hardware rebuild all Compile-------> Software rebuild all In case of opening lower version project in TIA V17, you may get below error "upgrade project (0025:000219) TIA V14 and higher no longer support S7-1200 CPU with firmware V1.0 In case if we have to work then we have to configure CPU with firmware 4.0 offline or while opening project of S7-1200 CPU with firmware V1.0 below error will occur.

S7-1500 Memory Concepts

-
Image
  Below is the memory area overview:  Load Memory Non volatile memory for User program, data blocks, technical object, recipe and data logs. We can copy additional data to load memory through a web server or explorer. An inserted Memory card is required for operating the CPU. For CPU 1518, extra load memory is required for : Linux runtime which runs in parallel with CPU runtime C/C++ runtime application CPU function libraries. Linux runtime is the environment required for execution of a runtime application and CPU runtime is required for applications requiring CPU runtime application. Work Memory Work memory contains executable code and data blocks. It is integrated in the CPU and cannot be extended. For CPU 1528-4PN/DP additional work memory is required for CPU function libraries and C/C++ runtime applications. Retentive Memory It is a non volatile memory for saving limited amount of data in case of power failure. It can be deleted with memory reset or reset to factory setting. Additi
