General
information
Requirement
Proceed as follows
4-126
Automated firmware download is possible using the "SimoCom U" pa-
rameterizing and start–up tool.
This means that both the actual firmware as well as also the previous
version releases (e.g. SW 7.2) can be downloaded.
"SimoCom U" is configured for the appropriate drive using registry files.
Data can be downloaded via the data bus (e.g. PROFIBUS–DP) or the
serial interface.
S
When downloading via PROFIBUS–DP, the correct PROFIBUS
node address must be parameterized for the appropriate drive.
S
The registry files must be edited so that they match a specified drive
configuration.
S
It is necessary that "SimoCom U" was installed – however, the ap-
plication may not run while changing or running the registry file.
1. Edit the .reg file and carry–out the settings (refer to Fig. 4-2).
If you wish to only change the file names, the path or the
PROFIBUS address, then the settings are also possible via
SimoCom U without using the .reg files.
––> Using the dialog menu "Service" ––> "Automated
firmware download" ––> "Define file" or
"Options" ––> "Settings" ––> "Communications"
2. Run the .reg file if you have not carried–out the settings via
SimoCom U.
––> The Windows registry editor prompts after the settings
have been transferred into the registry.
––> Acknowledge with "Enter".
––> The Windows registry editor signals that the settings have been
successfully transferred into the registry
––> Again acknowledge this message with "Enter".
