Firmware update

During operation, it may be necessary to update the firmware (e.g. to extend the available
functions). You update the firmware of the device with the help of firmware files. The
retentive data is retained after the firmware has been updated.
Firmware updates are provided to you on the Internet. You can perform a firmware update
for the following devices:
● 3RW5 soft starter
● 3RW5 HMI High Feature
● 3RW5 communication module
Note

Procedure
1. Make sure that the motor is switched off and you do not start the motor during the
firmware update.
A control command for starting the motor is not supported during the firmware update.
To ensure the quickest and most fault-free firmware update, it is recommended that you
disconnect the main voltage of the 3RW5 soft starter and set the CPU / PLC to
STOP state.
2. Perform the update of the device firmware.
The following procedures are possible:
– With a micro SD card via the 3RW5 HMI High Feature (Page 61)
– Via SIRIUS Soft Starter ES (TIA Portal) over the local interface on the
SIRIUS 3RW5 EtherNet/IP communication module
