CPU old version with CP recently version

Post by RandolphC » Thu Aug 09, 2012 5:46 pm

Hi everyone! :D Look, I need to communicate a S7400 PLC with a Schneider Panel (Magelis) with Ethernet protocol, however PLC coupler ( 6ES7-443-IEX11-0XE0 ) its useless so the dilema is the following:

That CP can't be purchased because it's obsolete already, so its substitute is CP 6ES7-443-IEX20-0XB0.

S7400 CPU is 6ES7-414-3XM05-0AB0 (an old version), so I don't know if will be a problem during download procedure because CPU is older and CP is newer.

(sbutton) Will be firmware error or similar during/after download?

The other way I have is to purchase a gateway (LUFP, from Schneider) ProfibusDP/ModbusTCP to communicate Magelis Panel with S7400, but I don't know anything about ModbusTCP (sincerly, I would like to have some examples or something) :oops:

All suggestions are welcome :mrgreen:

Regards in advance :D

Hi! :D Thanks for your advice and you're right (pgood) (I check it alredy), but one thing I worry about if the program that CPU has would be corrupted because CP different version. (wow)

yes , you will have to reconfigure your hardware , you cant just replace old cp with new one in hardware without reconfigure , do not make upload and replace cp in hardware without reconfigure , youre cpu will go down
