7.4 Performing a firmware and project update
Note
The components' firmware is upgraded or downgraded automatically based on the FW
version on the CompactFlash card and the FW version on the SINAMICS components
(DRIVE-CLiQ components, CBE30-2, TB30, PM340, etc.).
The update can take several minutes and its progress is tracked by corresponding
messages appearing in the alarm window of SIMOTION SCOUT.
A firmware update on DRIVE-CLiQ components is indicated by the RDY LED flashing red
and green:
• FW update running: RDY LED flashes slowly (0.5 Hz)
• FW update complete: RDY LED flashes quickly (2 Hz)
These flashing patterns are also displayed on the yellow RDY LED on the
SIMOTION D/CX32-2 and indicate that a FW update is being carried out on components
connected to the SIMOTION D/CX32-2 or that all components have completed the FW
update.
Go offline once all the FW updates have been completed. POWER ON the
upgraded/downgraded components.
CBE30-2 option board:
During the firmware update, the OPT LED of the SIMOTION D module and the SYNC LED
of the CBE30-2 flash green.
Updating the firmware of the SINAMICS components manually
The SINAMICS components' firmware is updated automatically, depending on the setting of
parameter p7826.
