Update Via Compactflash Card; Backup Of Compactflash Card Data - Siemens SIMOTION D410-2DP/PN Installation Manual

Note
The components' firmware is automatically updated, depending on the firmware version on
the SINAMICS components and on the CF card. During a firmware update, please heed the
messages and alarms in the SIMOTION SCOUT detail window. A firmware update on the
SIMOTION D410‑2 is signaled by the RDY LED flashing yellow, while on the DRIVE-CLiQ
components (TM, SMC, etc.) it is signaled by the RDY LED flashing red/green.
● FW update running: RDY LED flashes slowly (0.5 Hz)
● FW update complete: RDY LED flashes quickly (2 Hz), POWER ON required
Components requiring POWER ON following a firmware update signal this by means of the
fast flashing RDY LED. Go offline with SCOUT and switch the 24 V supply to the relevant
components off/on (POWER ON) to initialize.

Update via CompactFlash card

Backup of CompactFlash card data

Backing up licenses, retain data, and user data
Prior to upgrading/downgrading firmware, as a precaution we would generally recommend
backing up the entire content of the CF card to the PG/PC using the card adapter and Windows
Explorer.
How you should proceed to back up and subsequently restore data on the CF card depends
on whether the CF data contains any licenses and/or other retain data and user data which
will be required again in the future.
Case 1: The CF card contains no licenses and no retain or user data that is still required
You do not need to take any steps in this case. Delete the contents of the CF card and install
the firmware as described.
