Hi everyone, I was wondering if it was possible to update my S7-1200 CPU from firmware 3.0 to 4.0 and higher. My PLC is a 1212C AC/DC/RLY 6ES7 212-1BE31-0XB0, its firmware is 3.0 On the Helper page for firmware updates it's written that "For an S7-1200 CPU with V3.0 and higher and for an S7-1500 CPU with firmware V1.1 and higher it is also possible to perform a firmware update via the integrated web server." but the "User Managemenr" page doesen't show up in TIA Portal under the CPU configuration even if my CPU is 3.0 (or higher), is the helper page wrong or am I doing something wrong? I even downloaded the SIMATIC Automation Tool in hope to download the firmware update from there but I wasn't able, in the program helper it's stated that some kind of S7-1200 CPU aren't able to update from the Tool, and I think that mine is one of them. I know that I could use a Memory Card but I haven't got one right now and I was looking to download the firmware update via ethernet cable, if I really have to get a memory card I want to be more than sure that the firmware can be updated. Thanks in advance, Ryan |

Hi UTE_GAW, for detailled informations about Firmware check this FAQ - it contains a PDF with an overview of S7-1200 Firmware-Version - but unfortunately the current Firmware is missing. What additions are included in the firmware changes of the S7-1200 controllers?Regards, Towome |
