Backup the configuration

The SINAMICS DCP parameter assignment is not lost while updating the software. In spite
of this, before starting the software update, backup the SINAMICS DCP configuration:
● Backup the parameter assignment on a memory card (see Chapter Memory card
functions (Page 113))
and/or
● Backup the parameter assignment in a STARTER project (see Chapter Commissioning
with the STARTER commissioning tool (Page 78))

Update the SINAMICS DCP software

Note
Only memory cards which have been prepared for these systems by Siemens will be
accepted.
If the memory card is formatted, formatting must be performed with the FAT16 setting.
To download the latest software version, see Preface (Page 5).
Procedure
● Unzip the *.zip file to an empty memory card.
● Insert the card in the SINAMICS DCP, which has been switched-off, and switch the
device on again. The firmware is updated. The update has been completed if the RDY-
LED and the DP1-LED flash at 0.5 Hz (the update takes about 12 minutes).
● Carry out a POWER OFF. Remove the memory card from the SINAMICS DCP.
NOTICE
If the memory card is not removed from the SINAMICS DCP before the POWER ON, the
parameterization in the SINAMICS DCP is copied to the memory card during ramp-up, or a
parameterization already on the card copied to the SINAMICS DCP.
For a detailed description of this function, see Chapter Memory card functions (Page 113),
Section "Copying parameter data sets from non-volatile memory to the memory card".
