8.4 Updating the component firmware
Introduction
Prior to initial startup, all SINAMICS components should have the same firmware version.
The required software is part of the SINAMICS SW and is stored on the CompactFlash card.
An update of individual components may become necessary, after component replacement
for example, and is required if the drive-specific alarm A01006 "Firmware update required for
DRIVE-CLiQ component <No.>" appears.
Requirement
All components of the NCU/NX accessible (connected via DRIVE-CLiQ).
Operating sequences
1. These can be found in the "Commissioning > Drive units > Configuration" menu.
Figure 8-16
2. Select the next drive module, the NCU or NX with the vertical softkey "Drive unit+/Drive
unit-".
3. Press the vertical sotfkey "Load firmware ...".
4. The "Load all" softkey loads the firmware from the CF card to all DRIVE-CLiQ
components of the drive unit (NCU or NX).
Note
Depending on the design of the SINAMICS drive group, a complete update of component
firmware can take about 30 minutes.
The component, on which a firmware update is performed, is indicated by a flashing LED.
