setup. If the firmware is not installed on the PG or is incomplete, a message is displayed.

Steps in repairing
Repairing involves the following steps:
● The flash disk of the TIM module is formatted. After formatting, the TIM module runs a
reset.
● This is followed by a default startup.
● Once the wait time for the default startup has elapsed, the firmware version installed on
the computer is downloaded to the TIM.
● Following this, the system data blocks are transferred to the TIM module.
● The module is then reset and resumes operation with its full functionality.
Note
You can download the new firmware via Ethernet or the MPI i
nterface.
If you download the firmware using the MPI interface (TIM as a CP in the S7
-300), then
during the new installation of the firmware, the TIM module uses MPI address 3. Make
sure that this address is free on the MPI bus to which the TIM module is c
onnected.
Operator activities
Note
Make sure that you select the correct TIM module in your project. The station and module
name must match and the configured module must be of the same type as the module to
which you are downloading.
If this is not the case, a dialog will inform you of this at regular intervals during the update.
The display of this message interrupts the update until the dialog is acknowledged by
clicking on
OK .
1. Make sure that MPI address 3 is either free or is occupied by the module on which you
want to install.
2. Select the TIM you want to repair in the
SINAUT subscriber list of the open project.
3. Start the function by selecting the
SINAUT / Repair menu and then Complete
reinstallation
in the context menu. The Firmware Install dialog opens. The version
installed on the PG is displayed. If the firmware on the PG is incomplete, a message to
this effect is also displayed.
