3.3.2

How to make adjustments after a hardware change

Basic procedure

A change to the hardware always requires a change to the software. Configure the hardware

changes in HW Config. Compile the changes and then download the data to the CPU. You

can then physically replace, remove or add the modified hardware.

Procedure

1. Open the project (the AS) in HW Config.
2. Drag the object (such as the CPU: Type, Firmware Version x.x) from the hardware catalog

and drop it into the appropriate slot in the AS configuration table.

The following message appears: "Do you want to exchange component ... with

component ...?"

3. After verification, click "Yes" to confirm.
4. Select the menu command Station > Save/Compile.

You can also perform the compiling during the subsequent work.

3.3.3

Updating the CPU

Preparation

Compare the type and manufacture date of the modules you are using with the information in

the document

PCS 7 Released Modules.

If replacement of the CPU is required, contact your Siemens representative.

Firmware update for CPU S7-400H

Note
In a fault-tolerant PCS 7 system, the (S7-400H) CPUs must always have a uniform hardware

version and the same firmware version.

Update capability of CPUs

The online update of the firmware can be performed using the procedure described below as

of the following firmware versions:
● CPU S7-400H as of firmware version 4.5

As of firmware version 4.5, the firmware can be updated in RUN mode.

● CPU S7-400 as of firmware version 5.0
