Updating 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 CompactFlash Card.
Components that cannot be downgraded to the component firmware version on the
CompactFlash Card (for example, old firmware on the CompactFlash 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 FW version on the
SINAMICS components and on the CompactFlash 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.
Updating the firmware of the SINAMICS components
The SINAMICS components' firmware is upgraded automatically, depending on the setting of
parameter p7826.
● p7826 = 0: Upgrade/downgrade deactivated
● p7826 = 1: Upgrade and downgrade
● p7826 = 2: Upgrade only
If you are upgrading the firmware manually, proceed as follows:
1. Select the SINAMICS component in the Project Navigator, for example, SINAMICS
2. Double-click "Configuration" in the project navigator.
3. Click "Version Overview" to open the list of connected SINAMICS components.
4. Go online and select the devices whose firmware you wish to update.
