SIMOVERT MASTERDRIVES
When upgrading a MASTERDRIVES MC to a current firmware
version, we make a distinction between 2 cases:
1. Only the third position of the version number changes (e.g. from
V2.00 to V2.01). In this case, the firmware can be loaded directly
into the unit. The parameterization remains the same.
2. The second position of the version number changes (the third
position is then of no significance, e.g. from V2.02 to 2.10). In this
case, the parameterization must be saved with DriveMonitor. It is
important to remember to use the differences from the factory
setting only (under DriveMonitor: File, Upload, Base unit: changes
only...).
The new firmware is then loaded into the unit. When initialization is
complete, all parameters are reset to the factory setting. Now the file
previously generated can be loaded back into the unit with
DriveMonitor (under File, Download).
The first and second position of the firmware version can be read out in
r069.01 and the third position corresponds to the first position after the
decimal point in r828.01=0.1 (e.g. V2.01 corresponds to r69.01=2.0 and
r828.01=0.1).
