Options for the firmware update
The following options are available for updating firmware:
●
Online via PROFINET IO/PROFIBUS DP (with STEP 7)
●
Via a SIMATIC memory card (possible for CPU and centralized I/O modules)
●
Via the integrated Web server (possible for CPU as well as centralized and distributed I/O
modules)
Note
Firmware files of the CPU
If you perform a CPU update with STEP 7, you require STEP 7 (TIA Portal as of V13 Update
