Hi,
I am looking for someone that is willing to spend a few minutes to conduct a bit of an experiment,
if you have access to the following:-
1. A Simatic field PG or prommer
2. An 8MB MMC card
3. The ability to make a sector by sector image of an MMC (winhex, HDD raw copy tool)
Basically, I am trying to update the firmware in my s7 317 cpu to V2.6.11, but don't have access to the hardware required to create an update card. After playing around with MMC images I had a bit of an idea, my thoughts are if someone would be kind enough to create a firmware update card then create an image file of the card and email the file to me. I will then restore the image onto my card and try a firmware update, I am not entirely sure whether this would work at my end but it would be interesting to find out.
I suggest only a person who has a good understanding of creating update cards do this.
The instructions how to create the firmware card are at the top of the web page link below:-

and the V2.6.11 files required are at the link below

Thanks Andrew
