2 Software Update by Siemens Automation Tool[edit | edit source]

You will find the Software "Siemens Automation Tool", if not installed yet, here on the Brückner Server \\brueckner.de\sonst\bms_ee_sw\SOFTWARE\Siemens_SIMATIC_Automation_Tool\

Firmware: \\brueckner.de\dept\BMS_EE_EXT\PUBLIC\Firmware\Heinzinger

The software should be installed on the FieldPG (CAE) - if not, it is recommended to install it.

In order to search and find the PLCs you must be in the same network. The search cannot succeed through PN-PN-couplers, you must connect the network "behind" a PN-PN-coupler, so connect the FieldPG on the Heinzinger PLC side of the coupler.

During the update, the PLC will be forced to go into STOP mode, the pinning system must be stopped.

Start Simatic Automation Tool Software.

Select your PG-Interface with the pulldown menu on top. If you get the error message "SIMATIC Automation Tool does not support this device", try to use the option Auto from the pulldown menu.

With the button "Scan Network >> Scan entire network" you should see the available PLCs (in Me.Ro case should be only one visible PLC, because we are behind the coupler).

If you are asked that the PLC will be put to STOP mode, acknowledge.

A successful backup will be noted in the bottom window:

Storage Location for the backup files will be found under Options >> Settings >> Backup/Restore. You can also change this path if required.

Run the PLC

Commit the new software to SVN under: _enigineering\public\pinning\heinzinger

When installing Simatic Automation Tool on site - don't forget to put it in EngineeringTools.xls. Remember to switch the PLC back to run after finishing the update.
