This chapter describes how you can upgrade a drive – including STARTER project – from
one firmware version to a higher firmware version (e.g. V1.1 to V1.2).
Basic information
The following steps are necessary:
● Upgrading the device firmware
– Step 1: Backup the configuration
– Step 2: Firmware update of the drive (incl. I/O)
– Step 3: Update the STARTER project
– Step 4: Load into the target system, RAM to ROM
● Upgrade the DCC technology option (optional)
– Step 5: Update the DCC technology option (DCBLIB) and the DCC charts
– Step 6: Load into the target system, RAM to ROM

installed now powers up.
If neither a CBE20 nor DRIVE-CLiQ components are available, the drive is ready for
operation.
However, if a CBE20 or DRIVE-CLiQ components or both are available, the firmware
of these components is updated during the power-up of the device firmware. At the
end of the power-up of the device firmware, the DRIVE-CLiQ components indicate that
a restart is required through flashing red LEDs. Alarm A1006 also appears. Switch the
electronic power supply OFF and ON again a third time.
the CBE20 also requires a restart so that the CBE20 firmware installed in the previous
step is also started. However, a third OFF and ON of the electronic power supply is
also required in this case.
