S7-1200 CPU firmware update V1.0.2
Product Information
Description
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Manual concerning calling OBs is no longer valid.

Retaining the communication load setting after a power cycle
The CPU property for communication load is now correctly retained following a power cycle.
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.
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.
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.
4. 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.
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.
