After the communications processor has been installed in the computer, the CP still needs to
be configured.
The steps involved are described in the "Commissioning PC Stations" manual. You will find
the manual on the SIMATIC NET Product DVD in the directory: V2.X.X\CP16xx\doc.
The CP ships with a current firmware version.
If you want to use the CP 16xx driver of a current SIMATIC NET CD, new firmware for the
CP is also supplied with it. The following activities are then necessary:
● Download the firmware to the CP.
● Update and activate the driver of the CP on the PC.
This section shows you how to use the firmware loader.
The Firmware Loader allows you to download new firmware versions to the SIMATIC NET
modules.
For more detailed information about the individual download variants, refer to the integrated
help in the program.
Here, firmware means the system programs in the SIMATIC NET modules.
Uses of the Firmware Loader
The Firmware Loader allows you to download new firmware versions to the SIMATIC NET
modules. It is used for the following:
● PROFIBUS modules
● Industrial Ethernet modules
● Modules for gateways (for example, IE/PB Link)
