Firmware Update - Siemens SINAMICS S210 Operating Instructions Manual

Firmware update

You have the option of upgrading your converter to a newer firmware version. You can also
install an older firmware version to always provide the same machine configurations.
Settings made before the upgrade will be retained.
During a downgrade to an older firmware version, the converter is reset to the factory settings.
Proceed as follows to perform an upgrade or downgrade:
1. Save the firmware version that you would like to install on the converter on a blank SD card
(maximum storage capacity 2 GB).
2. Switch off the converter.
3. Insert the SD card into the converter and switch on the converter.
4. The new firmware will be installed - this can take up to five minutes or longer.
The update is completed when both LEDs are flashing red at 1 Hz in sync with each other.
5. Switch the converter off and remove the memory card.
6. Switch on the converter again. The firmware of the connected DRIVE-CLiQ components
is updated. This may require a restart (see alarm messages in the web server).
7. Check whether the new version is installed. The firmware version of the converter is
displayed on the home page of the web server under the converter.
