The latest firmware is available at the end of the document.

Description of FW update firmware version V6.0.x

Updating firmware in RUN is possible as of this firmware version. An update is only possible from one version to the next, for example, from V6.0.0 to V6.0.1
For information, refer to the respective update description and the Fault-tolerant systems S7-400H system manual under Section 6.4 "Updating the firmware without a memory card" and Section 6.5 "Firmware update in RUN mode".

Difference of the operating system update compared to the remaining S7-400 CPUs
After the actual firmware update, the self-test is started on the fault-tolerant system; this may take several minutes. This time depends on the configuration of the load memory (size of the inserted memory card) and the configuration of the work memory.

Description of replacement scenario

Both CPUs must have the same firmware version in an S7-400H. If one CPU of your S7-400H fails, order a new CPU with the same order number. It will be delivered with the latest firmware version. This firmware version may be higher than the firmware version of the CPU being replaced.
In this case, you must downgrade the new CPU to the older firmware version.

You have two options for the downgrade:

1. Using the memory card Digital ID (https://www.siemens.com/digital-id) 0.0.0.0
(see description …..)

2. Using the online functionality as described below:

Insert the new CPU into your automation system.

Do not connect the fiber-optic cables yet.
Select this CPU in HW Config or in SIMATIC Manager.
Execute the menu command "PLC > Update firmware". The "Update firmware" dialog box opens. Here you select the firmware file with the same version as that of the previous CPU.
Upload this file to the CPU. The new CPU now has the same firmware version as the one it has replaced.
Now connect the fiber-optic cables.
Transfer the system to the Redundant operating state by starting the CPU.
Description of the operating system update with a memory card

Requirements for creating an operating system update card:

S7 memory card
Flash 8 MB (order number 6ES7 952-1KP00-0AA0) or larger
STEP 7 with product version V3.1 or higher
Programming device or PC with external prommer for programming the memory card

Procedure for creating an operating system update card using STEP 7:

Download the desired CPU file

Unzip the file with a double-click on the file name
Delete the memory card with: "File/Delete/S7 Memory Card" in SIMATIC Manager.
Program the operating system by selecting "PLC/Update AS OS" in SIMATIC Manager, selecting the target directory and starting the programming process by opening the file CPU_HD.UPD.
The operating system update card is programmed when the standard mouse pointer appears again.

General procedure for an operating system update:

Power OFF at the power supply (PS) of the rack in which the CPU is installed.
Insert the prepared operating system update card into the CPU.
Power ON at the power supply of the rack in which the CPU is installed.
The operating system is transferred from the memory card to the internal FLASH EPROM.
During this transfer, all the LEDs on the CPU are lit (INTF, EXTF, FRCE, CRST, RUN, STOP). The operating system update takes about 2 minutes and is completed when the STOP LED on the CPU flashes slowly => memory reset request from the system.
NOTICE:
The self-test is started immediately after the update and can take several minutes, depending on the memory configuration.
Power OFF at the power supply and possible insertion of the memory card intended for the operation.
Power ON at the power supply.
The CPU automatically performs a memory reset and is immediately ready for operation.
Set the time when the operating system update has been successfully completed.
Description of the operating system update in RUN with V6.0

As a general rule, a firmware update in RUN can only be from one firmware version to the next higher firmware version and within fault-tolerant systetms. A downgrade is not possible in RUN. See also the notes in the respective version-specific description.

Procedure for automatic firmware update:

Initial situation: Both CPUs are in redundant operation. Redundant operation

1. For CPU access protection with password: Select a CPU of the fault-tolerant system in SIMATIC Manager and select the menu command PLC > Access authorization > Setup. Enter the CPU access password.
2. Select one of the two CPUs either via SIMATIC Manager -> Project or HW Config. Do not use the menu command "Accessible nodes" in Simatic Manager.
3. Select the menu command "PLC > Update firmware"
A wizard starts that can automatically update the firmware on both CPUs.

The complete update description and alternative solutions are described in the Fault-tolerant S7-400 H Systems system manual under Section 6.5 "Firmware update in RUN mode".

Note on updating firmware in RUN:

During an upgrade of the firmware in RUN mode from Version V6.0.1 to V6.0.2, it is possible that the display and archives on the connected WinCC stations are no longer updated.
For this reason, please note that the firmware update in RUN mode is only carried out if the connections of the CPU WinCC station are terminated beforehand. Therefore, before the firmware is installed, stop the connected WinCC systems or PCS 7 OSs while still in redundant operation
(stop Runtime) or terminate the corresponding communication connection. You can re-establish the connection immediately after the restart of the CPU with the firmware V6.0.2.
If you are unsure of the procedure, please contact our Customer Support or carry out the firmware update while the CPU is in stop mode.

Functional extensions of version V6.0.6:

Improvements and extensions relating to diagnostics and service data

(internal ref. no.: 1517644 and 1411978)
System availability has been increased by expansion of the correction mechanisms in case of temporary internal inconsistencies. In redundant systems, automatic resynchronization may thus be started in rare cases.
(internal ref. no.: 1257091 and 1457464)
Optimized handling of synchronization errors occurring very rarely between the two CPUs of a redundant system also increases system availability.
(internal ref. no.: 1345570)
Improved support of the SCALANCE X switches (for example: X400 with RSTP) through forwarding of the RSTP telegrams.
(internal ref. no.: 1286398)

General improvements of Version V6.0.6:

The monitoring of a block simultaneously with an older and a more recent STEP 7 version (STEP 7 V5.x and older than V5) no longer results in a change into the Defective operating state.
(internal ref. no.: 1561762)
If the PROFINET IO diagnostic interrupts were activated at a CP443-1 or CP443-1 Advanced (the CPs can only be used for Ethernet communication with these CPUs) and the system function "RALRM" (SFB54) was called in the diagnostic interrupt (OB 82), the system sometimes
changed to the Defective operating state (with the identifier "Stop cannot be reached" 16#4520 811d 2922 029a).
(internal ref. no.: 1712231)
In rare cases it was possible that the CPU could change to the Defective operating state (with the identifier 16#4535 0544 0414 0000) when open communications blocks (FB 63 "TSEND", FB 64 "TRCV", FB 67 "TUSEND" or FB 68 "TURCV") were called nested with the parameter
RQ =0 and RQ =1
(internal ref.: 1588659)
In rare cases, the CPU changed to the Defective operating state or remained in Stop due to brief voltage drops (few ms).

In an H-system with higher-level timeIDsynchronization,
(https://www.siemens.com/digital-id)
in very rare cases0.0.0.0
the time of the automation system was set incorrectly for one update cycle immediately after coupling and updating.
(internal ref. no.: 1497557)
Improved behavior of the H-system when calling the system state list for module state information (SSL 16#xC91) with the address 0xFFFF. The address specification is invalid here.
(internal ref. no.: 1625562)
In extremely rare cases, it was possible that the blocks in OB4x (hardware interrupt) and OB82 (diagnostic interrupt) were not processed at a changeover in the H-system.
(internal ref. no.: 1225832).
Improved behavior at redundancy switchovers of the H-system in the case of extremely rare internal defects.
(internal ref. no.: 1719235)
The SNMP data of the H-CPU V6 has been harmonized with the other SIMATIC CPUs. This changes the content of the SNMP variables "ifDescr", "sysDescr" and "sysLocation". These changes particularly improve the interaction with the SINEMA servers.
(internal ref. no.: 1307786, 1388120 and 1388177)

Improvements in the usage of PROFINET IO and PROFIBUS DP:

The undesired behavior at SFC49 "LGC_GADR" (Entry ID:  109736598 (/cs/document/109736598/s7-400-cpus-undesired-behavior-with-sfc49-lgc_gadr-?lc=en-ww) ) has been eliminated.
(internal ref. no.: 1641047)
When an output module was pulled in a PROFINET device, it was possible that an access error in the process image (outgoing) was incorrectly generated for this module address immediately after an access error in the process image (incoming).
(internal ref. no.: 1370747)
When reading the device status on a PROFINET subsystem (0x694 and 0x794 system status list) with SFC51 "RDSYSST", the device status sometimes was not displayed correctly if subslots without user data (e.g. a SCALANCE switch) were configured in the PROFINET device
(internal ref. no.: 1340377 and 1336667)
A synchronization error of the H-system in the context of the reading of the system state list (SSL) 16#x694 using the system function "RDSYSST" (SFC51) with the parameters RQ =0 and INDEX =100 has been eliminated.
(internal ref. no.: 1632189)
When reading the system state list (SSL) module state information at PROFINET IO and PROFIBUS DP (SSL-ID W#16#xy96) with the system function RDSYSST (SFC 51), a synchronization error sometimes occurred in the H-system when the function was called with the
parameter RQ =0 on non-redundant modules (one-sided IO devices).
(internal ref. no.: 1653377)
When reading the system state list (SSL) rack/station state information (SSL ID W#16#xy92) at the PROFINET IO and PROFIBUS DP with the system function RDSYSST (SFC 51), the system sometimes changed to the Defective operating state (with the identifier 16#4550 942b
0037 800d) if an invalid DP or master system ID was specified.

V6.0.7

Download V6.0.7 (backup only: 17 July 2017)

General improvements of version V6.0.7:

The compatibility when using simulation modules for DP slaves was improved. (Internal ref. 1838617)
An optimization of the processing times when using consistent user data (KND) was introduced. The data from consistent user data is now available more quickly. (Internal ref. 1978874)
The behavior during monitoring of a block with multiple instances (multiple devices or multiple windows) has been improved. The automation system now no longer changes to the "Defect" operating state in very rare cases when exiting monitoring (Internal ref. 1920288)
By using the "Report system errors" function, in rare cases it was possible that correct values were not shown in the status display of the hardware configuration online view. The correct device status is now displayed for an activated system error. (Internal ref. 1780033)
In very rare cases, when the system status list 0x0C75 (status of a switched DP slave in the H system) was read per SFC51 "RDSYSST" and there was simultaneously a change of the redundant partner in "Stop" mode, the CPU switched to the "Defect" operating mode (ID:
4535/0e46/0401) (total failure of the H system). (Internal ref. 1806332)
When there is a bad parameter assignment of an area pointer, the system could switch to "Defect" operating mode (ID: 4535/0512/041f) during subsequent write access. (Internal ref. 2087322)

 Digital
When using a fail-safe program ID (https://www.siemens.com/digital-id)
for more than 9 years (without switching0.0.0.0
off the power supply), the CPU could change to the "Defect" operating state. (ID: 4550/9240). (Internal ref. 2215757)
During monitoring of blocks with conditional jump instructions in the monitoring section, a fault could occur in the program execution with a specific command combination (Internal ref. 2109609)
Avoidance of time-of-day overflow in 2036 and 2038. (Internal ref. 2004400)

Improvements for PROFINET or PROFIBUS:

If a PROFINET network was configured to which no PN devices are connected, a switch to the active IO controller of this empty network in the H system could result in a transition of the CPU to the "Defect" operating state and thus in a failure of the entire H system (ID:
4550/2b0c/a415) (see Entry ID: 109745029 (/cs/ViewDocument.aspx?ArticleID=109745029) ). (Internal ref. 2232376)
After adding modules of a DP station using CiR, it was possible that no module diagnostics were displayed in the hardware configuration online view. (Internal ref. 2289005)

Due to these corrections of the behavior, the following changes occur:

In cases of jump instructions the actual data are no longer displayed when monitoring blocks. Actual data are still displayed for all other types of commands.
The content of the SNMP variables "ifDescr" were adapted. (Internal ref. 2300138).

Note: When using a SIMATIC S7 Memory Card FLASH-EPROM (FEPROM) a CPU with firmware V6.0.7 might not startup in cases a factory reset was executed before or when using the CPU for the first time (“delivery status”).

This behavior can be avoided: Assign an IP address via ES/PG (“Edit Ethernet note”) before.

V6.0.8

Download V6.0.8 (backup only: 15 December 2017)

General improvements of version V6.0.8:

In extremely rare cases, a loss of synchronization was possible for T connections that had, in principle, been set up but not established and which are, however, actively terminated, in conjunction with time synchronization in SIMATIC mode.
(Internal ref.: 2369635)
In very rare cases, the CPU no longer started up following a factory reset while using FLASH memory cards.
(Internal ref.: 2519679)
The behavior when monitoring blocks has been improved. A change into Defect operating state with identifier 4550 8F01 no longer occurs.
(Internal ref.: 2560326)
In extremely rare cases, the CPU switched to Defect operating state with identifier 4550/8128 when using consistent user data (KND) > 32 bytes as well as switched I/O, with simultaneous loss of synchronization.
(Internal ref.: 2572334)
The startup behavior with FLASH memory cards has been improved.

V6.0.9

Download V6.0.9 (backup only: 7 Mai 2019)

General improvements of version V6.0.9:

Increased robustness for non-standard-compliant messages / message sequences of PROFINET devices (internal ref: 2369963).
Increased tolerance in the event of failing and returning PB/PN devices (internal ref: 3082562).
Increased tolerance in the event of faults on the Profibus DP and PROFINET (internal ref: 3017340, 2783150).
After downloading a faulty configuration and subsequently correcting it, the MAINT LED no longer remains constantly lit (internal ref: 2434632).
Using PDM and writing a data set by controller application at the same time and on the same periphery station may result in a system shut down in very rare cases (internal ref: 2713746).
Increased tolerance for CiR loading and simultaneous station return (internal ref: 3279422).
In extremely rare cases, a call of the TCON could lead to the reserve CPU switching to error-search mode (internal ref: 2916132).
The fault tolerance of MRP communication was further increased (internal ref: 2927068).
Robustness increase belongs to SNMP protocol failures were done. Additionally, it is now possible to deactivate the SNMP protocol, identical workflow as described in SIOS-ID:  109760539 (/cs/ViewDocument.aspx?ArticleID=109760539) (internal ref: 3212316).
In extremely rare cases, a sync loss could occur followed by a system shutdown after a buffered power on and subsequent downloading of very large function blocks (internal ref: 3790197).
Communication via UDP connections has been further optimized. The robustness of a faulty connection setup with TUSEND has been increased (internal ref: 3243985).
Optimized reaction in the very rare case of hardware defects additionally increases system availability (internal ref: 3879447).
By using the "Report system errors" function, in rare cases it was possible that correct values were not shown in the status display of the hardware configuration online view. The correct device status is now displayed for an activated system error (internal ref: 3843887).
In very rare cases, the use of F-systems in conjunction with a programmed master/reserve switchover with the SFC90 could lead to the automation system switching to error-search mode (internal ref: 3955490).

Download V6.0.10 (recommended for upgrading: 25 March 2022)

Fuctional extensions of firmware V6.0.10:

As of firmware version V6.0.10 in combination with an equivalent configuration as of STEP 7 V5.7 HF3 or PCS 7 V9.1 SP2, the SNMP communication is disabled by default for an additional increase of security.

Firmware V6.0.10 can be used independently of the STEP 7 or PCS 7 version in use.

Refer to the additional notes in the product note:  109807471 (/cs/document/109807471/additional-information-on-firmware-v6.0.10-for-cpu-simatic-s7-400h-v6-(6es7412-5hk06-0ab0-6es7414-5hm06-0ab0-6es7416-5hs06-0ab0-6es7417-5ht06-0ab0)-?lc=en-ww) .

General improvements of firmware V6.0.10:

Optimization of the processing in the case of very rare hardware defects additionally increases system availability. (Internal ref.: 20485)
The availability of the redundant automation system has been increased by extending the correction mechanisms for temporary internal inconsistencies. The need for debugging has been further reduced. (Internal ref.: 301230/303451)
Reduction of switchover times in a high-availability automation system with configured ISO communication (BSEND/BRECV). (Internal ref.: 20511)
Optimization of the system behavior for a PROFIBUS DP line switchover with a very low transmission rate (configured baud rate e.g. 93.75 Kbps). (Internal ref.: 27148)
The online monitoring of variables in large networks has been improved. (Internal ref.: 27190)
The remote port for passive TCP connections can be specified. Remote port "0" is still rejected. (Internal ref.: 27208)
Increased tolerance when downloading the hardware configuration with IE/PB LINK and DP slaves with more than 188 slots. (Internal ref.: 27214)
Increased resilience in case of an erroneous connection of a "free H-connection" by external devices. This no longer causes the automation system to fail. (Internal ref.: 27243)
Increased tolerance when a PROFIBUS cable is disconnected in a redundant automation system. (Internal ref.: 27252)
Optimization of system redundancy when I/O access errors occur. (Internal ref.: 27274)
In extremely rare cases, "coupling and updating" with high PBK communication could lead to an automatic reboot of the master CPU, and thus to a failure of the automation system. (Internal ref.: 27293)
In very rare cases, after adding an ET 200M output module using H-CiR, there was a brief 1-signal at the outputs of the newly added module. (Internal ref.: 27298)
In the redundant automation system with PROFIBUS or PROFINET process periphery, the behavior has been optimized for the extremely rare case of defective modules or when pulling modules (e.g. ET 200SP HA: pulling a redundant "side-by-side" module). (internal ref.: 27347)
Increased resilience for CiR loading processes. (Internal ref.: 27317)
The automation system remains available after an SSL query (SSL ID=0x19a, MAC address) on a failed device. (Internal ref.: 27346)
Increased tolerance when calling SFC70 with incorrect parameters. (Internal ref.: 66605)
