9.1 Upgrading software releases
This chapter describes how you can upgrade a SINAMICS DCP including the STARTER
project from one software version to a higher software version (e.g. V1.1 to V1.2).
Basics
The following steps are necessary:
Upgrading the device software
● Step 1: Backup the configuration
● Step 2: Update the SINAMICS DCP software (incl. the peripherals)
● Step 3: Update the STARTER project
● Step 4: Download to target system, RAM to ROM
Note
A memory card is required for the software update (see Chapter Ordering information for
options and accessories (Page 28)).
When updating the software, always proceed as follows:
1. Update the SINAMICS DCP software
2. Update the STARTER project
3. Load the converted STARTER project to the SINAMICS DCP (download)
Do not proceed as follows:
1. Update the SINAMICS DCP software
2. Create a NEW STARTER project
3. Load into the PG
In this case, under certain circumstances, STARTER cannot assign the project to the correct
device version. If the STARTER project is not available, generate a new project with the old
device version (load to the PG before the software update) and then proceed as normal.
