Kernel update for SIMOTION C230-2

Each C230-2 always contains the latest version of the SIMOTION Kernel when it is delivered. The
user can install newer or older versions via an update.
The corresponding SIMOTION Kernel version is included on the respective SIMOTION SCOUT
Add-On CD-ROM. (Proceed in the same way with a SIMOTION SCOUT DVD)
Note:
The SIMOTION Kernel and the technology packages must always have the same software
version. To avoid incompatibilities when replacing the C230-2, it is recommended that the
SIMOTION Kernel version of the current configuration is stored on the micro memory card.
You can use a PG/PC with the appropriate micro memory card adapter to copy the SIMOTION
Kernel to the micro memory card.
Proceed as follows:
1. Connect the SC card / MMC adapter to your PG/PC and insert the micro memory card in the
module slot of the adapter.
2. Insert the CD ROM containing the SIMOTION Kernel in the CD drive of your PG/PC.
3. Open Windows Explorer.
Note
The micro memory card must be visible as a drive with an arbitrary letter in the Windows
Explorer.
4. Delete all files and folders from the MMC except for the complete KEYS folder. The KEYS.TXT
file in this folder contains the license key and must be retained.
5. Unpack the firmware contained in the ZIP file (\3_C2xx\Firmware_C230\V....\c230_2fw.zip)
on the CD-ROM and copy the c230_2fw.bin file using the Windows Explorer to the root
directory of the micro memory card.
6. Remove the micro memory card from the PG/PC.
7. Switch off the power supply for the C230-2.
