FB84 Posts: 3 Rating: (0)	Hello, I'm trying to update the firmware of my S71200 CPU (CPU1214C), from V2.0 to V2.2. I tried this procedure: https://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/llisapi.dll?func=cslib.csinfo&objId=38693794&nodeid0=41886031&load=content&lang=en&siteid=cseus&aktprim=0&objaction=csview&extranet=standard&viewreg=WW But I have some issues: the CPU seems to not read the SD Card. The RUN/STOP LED does not alternately flashes green and yellow. I would like to know if is there another way to update the firmware? Or could you help me with my SD Card?

What Siemens part # are you using for your firmware update? The PLC will not accept anything except Siemens configured SD cards, and there are only 2 part #'s for firmware updates on S7-1200's the last time I checked.

FB84 Posts: 3 Rating: (0)	Hey, I'm using a 6ES7 7954-8LF01-0AA0 SD-Card. Anyway; I finally found what was wrong: I wasn't using the correct firmware update. I used a 6ES7214-1HE30-0XB0 update instead of 6ES7214-1BE30-0XB0. Thank you for your help. Regards, FB84
