jirimatus Posts: 53 Rating: (2)	Hello, I would like to replace old CPU because there is not enough memory (after compress) for SW changes. The old CPU is 314 IFM 6ES7 314 5AE10-0AB0 The new one is 314C 2DP 6ES7 314-6CG03-0AB0 I am confused with the letters IFM... cannot find what does it mean :-( So can I simply change the CPUs? (+modify HW conf. and transfer SW) I know that is a stupid question, but I am not expert for S7 300 systems. Thanks for answers. Jiri.

Hello, I would like to replace old CPU because there is not enough memory (after compress) for SW changes.

The old CPU is 314 IFM 6ES7 314 5AE10-0AB0
The new one is 314C 2DP 6ES7 314-6CG03-0AB0

I am confused with the letters IFM... cannot find what does it mean :-(

Best thing you can do is attach your software here and whe can have a closer look at it. /tf/WW/en/Posts/29029 Might be usefull too.

I checked the HW config and it looks like the integrated functions (freq.meter etc) are not used - see the attached pic. Even the "special inputs" 126.0-3 are not connected. So I think, there is no problem to replace the IFM CPU by the 314C 2DP. PS: I still dont understand, why they used IFM CPU without using its special functions ? ANyway thanks a lot again ... J.

Sometimes the builders choose a CPU with more functions to be prepared for the future. your choise is not right either, if you don't need highspeed counters why the C model?

jirimatus Posts: 53 Rating: (2)	Thank you very much for quick response. And Yes... sorry I made mistake in previous post... because meanwhile I decided to buy the 314C PN/DP which is perfect for me with the profinet connectors and I thing, that the only 314 with ethernet. [schnippschnapp] Other reason is , that if I buy ordinary 314 CPU, I have to buy 4 more module one for each AI/AO/DI/DO and then the price is rising I have to consider also the space in the cabinet.
