The CF card does not extend beyond the housing. An ergonomic recessed grip enables the
CF card to be removed.
Properties of the CF card
The CF card is essential for operation of the SIMOTION D4x5-2. The CF card is not supplied
with the SIMOTION D4x5-2 and must be ordered separately.
The SIMOTION Kernel (SIMOTION D4x5-2 firmware) and the software used to control the
drives (SINAMICS firmware) are contained on the CF card.
The CF card is used for:
● Backing up the technology packages and user data (programs, configuration data,
● Updates (e.g. SIMOTION firmware update)
The licenses for the technology functions are linked to the serial number of the CF card. This
means the CF card can be inserted in a different SIMOTION D without having to change the
licenses.
The CF card is supplied in a bootable format with the latest SIMOTION Kernel and drive
software. Please note that a CF card with a D4x5 kernel/drive software cannot run on a
D4x5-2. The same applies for the reverse situation.
If an error occurs, all LEDs flash yellow with 2 Hz. An entry is also made in the diagnostic
buffer and the D4x5-2 does not start.
Licenses purchased for SIMOTION D can be used for both the D4x5 and D4x5-2.
Note
The CF card may only be unplugged and plugged in when the system is deenergized! The
SIMOTION D4x5-2 is in a de-energized state when all the LEDs are OFF.
