I cannot clear this alarm. The S7 has V2.0 firmware in it. I cannot upgrade the firmware as suggested elsewhere on the forum as I do not have a Siemens MMC card - the cost of these is more than a replacement S7! Any suggestions- many thanks!

Take lokk at this links, maybe it can help: How can you change the IP address of an S7-1200 without using STEP 7 Basic? Why is the following error message displayed when downloading your TIA Portal project: "Resetting the module failed."? How can you delete the IP address and reset your S7-1200 to factory settings using the SIMATIC MC memory Card? How can you reset the IP address of your S7-1200 PLC using STEP 7 Basic Software?
