Changing the device configuration
Your device configuration is preset for operating with the included software. You should only
change the default setup parameters if technical modifications to your device require
different parameters.
NOTICE
Malfunctions can occur with running software CPU
If a BIOS update of the PC is performed while a SIMATIC software controller is running, the
software CPU can malfunction, resulting in communication interruptions or failures, for
example. Other actions that put a heavy load on the PC hardware, for example, running
hardware tests such as benchmarks, can result in malfunctions of the software CPU.
Do not run a BIOS update or other actions that would put a heavy load on the hardware
during operation of a software CPU.
Switch the software CPU to "STOP" before you run a BIOS update or perform other critical
actions.
