Upgrading devices and project updates using the device update tool
Overview
SIMOTION offers a convenient solution for machine manufacturers and machine operators to
update SIMOTION devices or SIMOTION projects.
Updating does not simply refer to an update to a higher version of firmware; rather, in general
terms it refers to switching to a defined configuration, e.g. a project update. It is also possible
to return (restore) to a previous configuration. Update or restore procedures can easily be
performed on SIMOTION devices locally or remotely. The data can be imported to a
SIMOTION device via a convenient and handy storage medium or a communication
connection.
Note
For SIMOTION P, there are currently only plans to update the project data, technology
packages and user data. Firmware cannot be upgraded given the dependency on other
Windows components.
