INTRODUCTION
This Software Release memo discusses the enhancements and operational considerations for version 4.03 of MPU
Controller board firmware. This firmware is intended for a Design Level “B” Model 353 with 4.00, 4.01, or 4.02
firmware.
Firmware is installed using the Controller Firmware Upgrade Utility, version 4.03, available for download from
http://support.automation.siemens.com/US/view/en/51785815
. The download includes the Upgrade Utility and
controller firmware.
For more information about the utility and firmware installation steps, refer to Software
Release memo SR15939-71-6.
ENHANCEMENTS
The following enhancements are included in version 4.03 firmware:
Universal T/C inputs – At power up, a design level “B” 353 controller with an I/O Expander Board will now
correctly clear an error status retained from the previous session.
Faceplate buttons UNITS and TAG now require only a single press to update the faceplate display. Previously more
that one press could be needed.
OPERATIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
In the STATN - Station Parameters function block, parameters CONFG LO and PARAM LO can have a value of
either 0 or 1, 2, or 3: a 0 allows writes, a 1, 2, or 3 prevents writes. (There is no difference in operation in selecting a
1, 2, or 3.) Earlier User’s Manuals list “write” values as YES/NO, which was correct for earlier firmware. Later
manuals list values (1, 2, or 3) incorrectly. Reads are always enabled.
Simultaneously pressing faceplate buttons PB1 and PB2 will cause the loop A/M status to toggle, even if the PB1
and PB2 function blocks are not configured.
