Hello,

being "the best" employee in the company I was sent to the customer to update firmware at shutdown time. Mostly 6ES7 511-1AK01-0AB0.

If there's a certainty with respect to CPU's FW, but I wouldn't say that there's a certainty with respect to dysplay FW upgrade.

a little puzzled with this quote from manual.

Firmware update

3. In the "Functions" folder, select the "Firmware update" group.
For a CPU, you can select whether you want to update the CPU or the CPU's display.

 When I'm going to install the latest FW for the CPU. Need I something change for dysplay? How do I know that?

When you update the CPU firmware, you should also update the CPU display firmware to the corresponding one.

 That's logical! However, while choosing an appropriate firmware for my MLFB I couldn't find any firmware for dysplay around. That's the point!

firmware I've taken here. All CPUs I've upgraded already.

Hello,

Look at the FAQ below:

Firmware update for all S7-1500 CPUs incl. Displays and ET 200 CPUs (ET 200SP, ET 200pro) - Latest change: new firmware version V2.8.1 for cpus and V2.8.0 for displays (new: 6ES7591-1BA02-0AA0)

********************

Here are all the firmware including display updates for the PLC.

Try to find what you need)))

Hi there,

I upgraded all CPU with the newest FW which weight is ~23MB, and you are suggesting to download, (have you seen that?)  1GB,  for upgrading 2'' dysplay? Are you joking? 

I have strong suspicion that dysplay is a brain of CPU.

P.S. before posting here I had come across with this 1 GB.  Anyway thanks for the input.

 Hello,

I think this is not a joke, because this archive combines many order numbers in itself.

Inside there should be firmware for each order number, and not for one PLC)))

Now I don’t have the opportunity to check (limited Internet) therefore, try downloading on your own ...

 That package has all possible ordernubers and their display firmwares in one package, that's why it's so big.
