10.3.4

Updating firmware of the readers using the TIA Portal (STEP 7 Basic /

Professional)

This section is intended only for S7 users.
Please note that updating the firmware of the readers is currently possible only for the

RF200 and RF300 readers. The firmware version to be loaded determines whether the

update can be performed.
Note that performing the update while the application is running can slow down both the

update and command processing.

Requirements

●

The communication module is connected to the controller via PROFIBUS.

●

Readers are connected to the communication module.

●

The communication module has been separated from running operation.

●

All user applications are closed.

●

The required update file is stored locally.

Procedure

Proceed as follows to perform a firmware update of the reader via STEP 7 Basic /

Professional (TIA Portal):
1.

Start the TIA Portal.

Open your existing project and change to the project view.

Change to the network view.

Select the affected communication module and switch to the device view.

Establish an online connection.

Right-click on the desired communication module to which the respective reader is

connected and click on "Online & Diagnostics" in the shortcut menu.
