Yet I have a question - when the 6ES7 515-2AN03-0AB0 is configured as a 6ES7 515-2AN02-0AB0, I have a constant error-led on the device saying: "Module exists. faulty Differences were found between the loaded configuration and the offline project. The online and offline module configuration data are different. Fault LED (SF) Additional information for the module: Online article number: 6ES7 515-2AN03-0AB0 Offline article number: 6ES7 515-2AM02-0AB0" Is there a way to remove this error led somehow? //Filip ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Split from Add S7 1500 CPU to TIA V17.

In the first section of diagnostic status is a fault which has another reason! So check online diagnostic in device manager for eacht module! You also can post diagnostic buffer here. Regards, Towome

You probably need to update your PLC project: Currently you have the wrong PLC selected there. In your Device configuration, select the PLC and right click, then select "Change Device". Then you can select the correct PLC from the listing. Compile the project and download it to PLC. Edit: Like mentioned above, the component mismatch is probably not a huge problem. But clearing this issue is quite simple so it is worth doing it. Attachment ChangeDevice.png (270 Downloads)

Hi,

@ Elonen

You probably need to update your PLC project: Currently you have the wrong PLC selected there. In your Device configuration, select the PLC and right click, then select "Change Device". Then you can select the correct PLC from the listing.

This post was split from TIA V17 - so I guess V17 is in use - in V17 he can not change to 6ES7515-2AN03-0AB0 because it is only available with V18 an higher - and please check technical data: There you can read:

Engineering with
● STEP 7 TIA Portal configurable/integrated from version	V19 (FW V3.1) / V18 (FW V3.0) or higher; with older TIA Portal versions configurable as 6ES7515-2AM02-0AB0

The fault has another reason!

Regards,

Towome

The new CPUs can be configured with STEP 7 version V18 or higher. Configuration with older software versions: Since the new article number (for example, 6ES7515-2AN03-0AB0) is not yet contained in previous STEP 7 versions, the CPU can also be configured as a predecessor version, i.e., with the previous article number (e.g. 6ES7515-2AM02-0AB0). The scope of functions then corresponds to that of the configured CPU (for example, firmware V2.9). The following entry explains how to handle CPUs with firmware versions that are not available in the installed STEP 7 version:109744163 When replacing a device: When replacing a CPU (for example, 6ES7515-2AM02-0AB0) with a compatible successor type (for example, 6ES7515-2AN03-0AB0), the STEP 7 project does not need to be changed; it is also not necessary to upgrade the STEP 7 project.
