Check sum error when compiling the S7 project

Question:

I am using the SM301 safety module with PROFIsafe in conjunction with PROFINET. During compilation of my Step7-project the error message 'check sum' occurs. What is the reason?

Answer:

Siemens modified the algorithm for the check sum calculation between the versions SP1 and SP2 of Step7 V5.4.

Install the current Service Pack 2.

The error can occur when a new project is created only, since the combination PROFINET / PROFIsafe has not been available until now.

The error only occurs when PROFINET is used, not when PROFIBUS is used.
