7.4 Configuring a CX32-2
you will be informed accordingly and the firmware on the SINAMICS components will be
upgraded/downgraded automatically.
The update can take several minutes and its progress is tracked by corresponding messages
appearing in the alarm window of SIMOTION SCOUT.
A firmware update on DRIVE‑CLiQ components is indicated by the RDY LED flashing red and
green:
● FW update running: RDY LED flashes slowly (0.5 Hz)
● FW update complete: RDY LED flashes quickly (2 Hz), POWER ON required
These flashing patterns are also displayed by the yellow RDY LED on the SIMOTION D/
CX32‑2 and indicate that a firmware update is being carried out on components connected to
the SIMOTION D/CX32‑2 or that all components have completed the firmware update.
Components requiring POWER ON following a firmware update signal this by means of the
fast flashing RDY LED. Go offline with SCOUT and switch the 24 V supply to the relevant
components off/on (POWER ON) to initialize.
Note
Topology errors can result in a download or system power-up not being possible.

CX32-2 configuration information

This section contains configuration tips relating to a number of features which are specific to
operating the CX32‑2 together with the D4x5‑2.
7.4.7.1

CX32-2 power-up

Powerup times
The CX32‑2 does not require its own CF card. The firmware and the parameterization are
stored centrally on the SIMOTION D CF card. After a firmware change, the CX32‑2 firmware
from the CF card is copied to the CX32‑2 at the first power-up and saved there as non-volatile
data.
For this reason, the first power-up with new firmware takes longer than subsequent power-ups.
Detecting when the CX32‑2 powers up in the user program
The user must wait for the CX32‑2 to power up before the drive objects can be accessed by
the user program.
One way of checking is to query the status of system variables of the drives on the CX32‑2.
● <axis name>.actormonitoring.cyclicinterface = ACTIVE AND
● <axis name>.sensordata[1].state = VALID
This procedure can also be used to establish when the SINAMICS Integrated drives power up.
