Upgrading SINAMICS

Depending on the settings, the SINAMICS components are also automatically upgraded to the
component version of the CF card with a firmware update of the SIMOTION D.
In order for a FW update to be performed for all components, the components must be correctly
connected in accordance with the configured topology.
The CONTENT.TXT file in the main directory of the CF card contains the component version.
Upgrading the firmware of SINAMICS components automatically
When starting up, the system automatically upgrades or downgrades all DRIVE-CLiQ
components to the version of the component firmware on the CF card. Components that cannot
be downgraded to the component firmware version on the CF card (for example, old firmware
on the CF card and new components to which the old firmware cannot be loaded) retain their
firmware version. The resulting firmware version combinations are always functional.
Note
The components' firmware is automatically updated, depending on the firmware version on
the SINAMICS components and on the CF card. During an FW update, please take note of
the messages and alarms in the SIMOTION SCOUT detail window. An FW update on the
SIMOTION D410 is signaled by the RDY LED flashing yellow, while on the DRIVE-CLiQ
components (TM, SMC, etc.) it is signaled by the RDY LED flashing red/green.
● FW update running: RDY LED flashes slowly (0.5 Hz)
● FW update complete: RDY LED flashes quickly (2 Hz)
Go offline once all the FW updates are complete, then switch the 24 V supply for the upgraded
initialization components off/on.
