New firmware versions can be transferred to the SIWAREX module using SIWATOOL. In
order to transfer the firmware, the Windows firewall must be configured in such a way that
SIWATOOL is registered as an approved program. The TFTP protocol is used for the
transfer. Firewalls or other protection software may interfere with or prevent the transfer of
data per TFTP protocol. In such cases, the respective protective mechanism must be
temporarily deactivated for the duration of the update, or an alternative PC used.
The latest firmware version can be found at Siemens Industry Online Support
(https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/document/109476228
).
Note
After transfer of the new firmware, the parameters of the SIWAREX module are assigned
with default values
You should therefore export and save the original parameter values prior to the firmware
update. Following
the firmware update, the saved data can be converted by SIWATOOL to
the new firmware version.
