CPU 214 download error - firmware

danfenton Posts: 12 Rating: (0)	Hi, I'm having a problem downloading to the S7-200 CPU 214 PLC. Micro/WIN brings up the following error when i click download. "The firmware version in the attached PLC does not support the operation. You must put the cable into freeport/PPI mode to when communicating with older PLCs." I've checked the devide type and it matches that of the PLC, both are release 01.01 what is frustrating is that all i did was make a change to OB1 and tried to download again and i got this error. Thanks Dan

It's strange however i was able to upload but not download. Anyway i hope this may help others in the future. Thanks Dan
