Operating system updates for CPU 1214C, COMPACT CPU, DC/DC/Relay Entry ID:38709962 Date:2011-12-01 Operating system updates for CPU 1214C, COMPACT CPU, DC/DC/Relay DESCRIPTION: S7-1200 CPU Firmware update process: CAUTION Do not use the Windows formatter utility to reformat the memory card. If a Siemens memory card is reformatted using the Microsoft Windows formatter utility, then the memory card will no longer be usable by a S7-1200 CPU. To install the CPU firmware update, follow these steps: 1. Insert a blank SIMATIC MC 24MB memory card into an SD card reader/writer attached to your computer. If you are reusing a SIMATIC memory card that contains a user program or another firmware update, you must delete the "S7_JOB.S7S" file and any folder (such as "SIMATIC.S7S" or "FWUPDATE.S7S") before downloading the firmware update. Use Windows Explorer to display the contents of the memory card and delete the file and folders. CAUTION Do NOT delete the hidden files "__LOG__" and "crdinfo.bin" from the memory card. The "__LOG__" and "crdinfo.bin" files are required for the memory card. If you delete these files, you cannot use the memory card with the CPU. 2. Download the CPU firmware update file for your CPU model. Double-click the update file, set the file destination path to be the root directory of the SIMATIC memory card, and start the extraction process. After the extraction is complete, the root directory of the memory card will contain a "FWUPDATE.S7S" directory and the "S7_JOB.S7S" file. WARNING Verify that the CPU is not actively running a process before installing the CPU firmware update. Installing the firmware update will cause the CPU to go to STOP mode, which could affect the operation of an online process or machine. Unexpected operation of a process or machine could result in death or injury to personnel and/or property damage. Before inserting the memory card, always ensure that the CPU is offline and in a safe state.

3. Insert the memory card into the CPU. If the CPU is in RUN mode, the CPU then goes to STOP mode. The maintenance (MAINT) LED flashes to indicate that the memory card needs to be evaluated. Power-cycle the CPU to start the firmware update. Alternative methods for rebooting the CPU are to perform either a STOP-to-RUN transition or a memory reset (MRES) from STEP 7. 4. After the CPU reboots, the firmware update is copied to the load memory. The RUN/STOP LED alternately flashes green and yellow to indicate that the update is being copied. When

the RUN/STOP LED turns on (solid yellow) and the MAINT LED flashes, the copy process has finished. You can then remove the memory card. 5. After removing the memory card, reboot the CPU again (either by restoring power or by the alternative methods for rebooting) to load the new firmware. The user program and hardware configuration are not affected by the firmware update. When the CPU is powered up, the CPU enters the configured start-up state.

S7-1200 CPU firmware update V2.0.3 improves the security and robustness of the S7-1200 product family.

Update V2.0
The S7-1200 CPU firmware update V2.0 provides the following enhancements: Changes in the behavior of a CPU with V2 firmware Certain S7-1200 modules require CPU V2 firmware Changes in the communication instructions Changes in the programming instructions

Changes in the behavior of a CPU with V2 firmware or STEP 7 V11 The V2 firmware update changes the functionality of the CPU. RUN mode The V2 CPU now performs a warm restart on the first transition to RUN mode following a download from STEP 7 V11. The warm restart does not overwrite the data in the DBs. (A V1 CPU always performs a cold restart on the first transition to RUN mode following a download, which resets the DBs to the default values.) However, the following scenarios cause a V2 CPU to perform a cold restart following a download: o o Downloading a project from STEP 7 V10.5 to a V2 CPU Downloading a project that contains a V1 CPU from STEP 7 V11 to a V2 CPU

If a run-time error occurs in the execution of a STEP 7 V11 user program, the CPU now stays in RUN mode. (This is a change in the default settings for the CPU properties for STEP 7 V11 .) The first execution of a cyclic OB following a transition to RUN mode in a V2 CPU can occur in less than the configured time period, but will always occur by the configured time period. Every other execution of the cyclic OB occurs at the configured time period. (For a V1 CPU, the first execution of a cyclic OB always occurred at the configured time period following a transition to RUN mode.)

Scan cycle The real time clock in a V2 CPU updates the system time more frequently to provide greater accuracy than a V1 CPU. The scan cycle for V2 CPU is calculated on multiples of 1 ms, which is the same as for a V 1.0.2 CPU.

Other enhancements Daylight saving time in a V2 CPU is now configured in local time instead of being configured in the system time. The default hardware compatibility mode in STEP 7 V11 is to allow "acceptable substitutions".

(The default for STEP 7 V10.5 was to allow "any substitution".) You can change this setting in the device configuration for the CPU. The V2 CPU provides additional error-checking of the compiled user program. If an error is detected, the CPU now logs an error.

S7-1200 modules that require CPU V2.0 firmware You can use certain S7-1200 modules only with a V2 CPU.

S7-1200 V2.0 supports PROFINET UDP PROFINET UDP is now supported. UDP provides a broadcast capability. Use the UDP instructions (TUSEND and TURCV) with the PROFINET TCON and TDISCON instructions. PROFINET instructions (TSEND_C, TRCV_C, TSEND, TRCV, TCON and TDISCON) TSEND, TRCV, TCON or TDISCON turns Done on for only 1 scan: In a V2 CPU, the Done output now turns on for only 1 scan. (This behavior now matches the execution of the TSEND_C and TRCV_C instructions in a V1 CPU or V2 CPU.) ENO for TSEND, TRCV, TCON and TDISCON: The V2 CPU will now set ENO = TRUE when the value of STATUS is 16#0001 to 16#7FFF ("busy" condition). If the value of STATUS is 16#8000 to 16#FFFF ("error" condition), ENO = FALSE. (The V1 CPU would set ENO = FALSE for both "busy" and "error" conditions.) STATUS = 0 (for "completion without error") sets ENO = TRUE for either a V1 CPU or a V2 CPU. The V2 CPU performs additional checking of the lengths of the DATA parameter. Because certain error codes for the PROFINET instructions have been changed, consult the S7-1200 programmable controller system manual or the STEP 7 online help for specific error codes. For "ad hoc mode", the V2 CPU allows arrays of various data types, as with an S7-300 or S7400 CPU. If you store the data in an "optimized" DB (symbolic only), the V2 CPU supports only arrays of byte-length data: Byte, Char, USInt and SInt. (A CPU with V1.0.2 firmware allowed only arrays of Byte.)

Point-to-Point (PtP) instructions Done output is turned on for only 1 scan: In a V2 CPU, the Done output of a PtP instruction now turns on for only 1 scan. Transmission of String data: The V2 CPU now transmits only the String data itself and does not transmit the length fields. (A V1 CPU would transmit both the String data and the length fields.)

Changes in the programming instructions

Extended instructions There have been minor changes in the how the V2 CPU handles errors for the extended instructions: When a memory-range error is detected, V2 CPU now generates an entry in the diagnostics buffer. For any extended instruction that does not have an instance DB: o An error with loading the input parameters will cause the instruction to not be executed. If an error occurs when the instruction is being executed, the outputs of the instruction are set to 0.

Certain errors may generate different error codes for a V2 CPU. These changes are relatively minor, but you should refer to the 04/2011 release of the S7-1200 programmable controller system manual or the STEP 7 online help for the specific error codes generated by the extended instructions for a V2 CPU.

Compare instructions for Real and LReal values For a comparison of two Real or LReal "not-a-number" (NaN) values, the result of the comparison will now be reported as equal, regardless of whether the values are the same NAN value or are different NaN values. The V2 CPU will now set the result = TRUE for the CMP==, CMP>=, and CMP<= instructions. (With a V1 CPU, this comparison would yield only a "not-equal" result, and only the CMP<> instruction would set the result = TRUE.) String instructions The V2 CPU now correctly handles the String operation if the In parameter (location for the input string) and Out parameter (location of the output string) are the same location or string. If the string parameters overlap but are not the same exact location, the V2 CPU now sets ENO = FALSE and does not perform the operation. The V2 CPU will now attempt to execute a String instruction that uses a string that has been corrupted by having the length fields overwritten with a 0. (For example, an incorrect memory location used by a Move instruction might have accidentally caused the string to have been completely or partially overwritten.) The V2 CPU does not generate an entry in the diagnostics buffer and sets the ENO accordingly. (A V1 CPU would have generated an entry in the diagnostics buffer and would have not executed the String instruction.)

Multiplex (MUX) instruction The maximum number of inputs for a MUX instruction in a V2 CPU has been increased to 256 inputs. (The V1 CPU limited the MUX instruction to 32 inputs.) General exponential (EXPT) instruction The EXPT instruction was modified for the following calculations: 00 = 1 (IN1 = 0 and IN2 = 0, then OUT = 1) 01 = 0 (IN1 = 0 and IN2 = 1, then OUT = 0)

Update V1.0.2
The S7-1200 CPU firmware update V1.0.2 addresses the following issues: PROFINET instructions are not restricted to cyclic OBs or the main program cycle Operation of the PROFINET instructions PROFINET TCP "Ad hoc mode" Setting for the communication is retained after a power cycle. New return code for the RD_LOC_T (Read Local Time) instruction CPU system time now correctly calculates the last-week-of-the-month Retaining timer values after either a power cycle or a transition from RUN to STOP to RUN PROFINET instructions are not restricted to cyclic OBs or the main program cycle

You can now call the PROFINET instructions (such as TSEND_C or TRCV_C) from all OBs, including hardware interrupt OBs, time-delay interrupt OBs, cyclic interrupt OBs, error interrupt OBs, or startup OBs. The restriction called out in section 6.2.5 "Open Ethernet communication" of the 11/2009 version of the S7-1200 System Manual concerning calling OBs is no longer valid. Operation of the PROFINET instructions The DONE, ERROR, and STATUS outputs of the PROFINET instructions (such as TSEND and TRCV) now follow the convention of the S7-300 and S7-400. These outputs are asserted (set to true or false) for one execution of the instruction, regardless of the state of the REQ parameter. Previously, the REQ parameter had to be active until the DONE, ERROR, and STATUS outputs were asserted, and these outputs were all held active as long as REQ was true. CPU firmware update V1.0.2 corrects this situation, allowing REQ to be pulsed and returned to a false state. PROFINET TCP "Ad hoc mode" "Ad hoc mode" for TCP is supported by the S7-1200. (The "Ad hoc mode" exists only with the TCP protocol variant.) Assign a value of "65535" to the LEN parameter to select "Ad hoc mode". With "Ad hoc mode", a maximum of 1472 bytes can be received. This affects the descriptions of the TRCV_C and TRCV instructions in Section 6.2.5 "Open Ethernet communication" of the 11/2009 version of the S7-1200 System Manual. Retaining the communication load setting after a power cycle The CPU property for communication load is now correctly retained following a power cycle. RD_LOC_T (Read Local Time) instruction The RD_LOC_T instruction now includes a return code value to indicate whether the current local time is in daylight saving time or standard time. RET_VAL = W#16# 0000: The current local time is in standard time. RET_VAL = W#16# 0001: Daylight saving time has been configured, and the current local time is in daylight saving time. Configuration of local time in the CPU The CPU now correctly handles standard/daylight savings time changes which occur on the last occurrence of a particular day of the week. Previously, such changes were only handled correctly if the particular day-of-week occurred five times in the month. Note Requirement for configuring local time When configuring daylight saving time, you must enter the "Starting hour" as the UTC (Universal Time Coordinated) or GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) hour and not the hour for your local time. Retaining timer values after a power cycle or a RUN-to-STOP-to-RUN transition The CPU now preserves the timer data following either a power cycle or a transition from RUN to STOP to RUN. (The timer DB must have been specified as retentive.) Note The default DB for a timer instruction cannot be made retentive. To make your timer data retentive, instead use either a global DB or a multi-instance DB.

Update V1.0.1
The retentive data in a Data Block (DB) can become corrupted after a S7-1200 CPU power cycle.

Prerequisite conditions to create the fault: You must have created at least one DB with the Symbolic access only attribute selected AND at least one DB with the Symbolic access only attribute deselected. Andyou must have retentive memory assigned for both DB types. Andafter the initial download of the program with the DBs, you must have modified the DB data and downloaded the program again.

WARNING

Corrupted data in a DB can result in unexpected machine behavior or process operation. Unexpected machine behavior or process operation can cause death, serious injury or property damage.

WARNING

Control devices can fail in an unsafe condition, resulting in unexpected operation of controlled equipment. Such unexpected operations could result in death or serious injury to personnel, and/or damage to equipment. Use an emergency stop function, electromechanical overrides, or other redundant safeguards that are independent of the S7-1200. Entry ID:38709962 Date:2011-12-01
