Service and maintenance
8.4 Performing a firmware and project update
● The process of importing the data to an upgrade medium can be performed at the machine
manufacturer's premises; alternatively, if the upgrade archive has been transferred to the
machine operator, the service engineer can do this on site.
● The service engineer imports the upgrade data on an operator-guided basis (without any
involvement by the application engineer) to the SIMOTION device(s), and upgrades the
SIMOTION devices in the process (SIMOTION SCOUT is not required on-site).
The following describes how to upgrade a SIMOTION D with a USB stick. This assumes you
have a USB stick containing the appropriate upgrade data.
Requirement
You have a USB stick containing the upgrade data.
Note
When upgrading using a USB stick, the points listed below must be observed. The version
information refers to the firmware version on the CF card (that is, the original version from
which upgrading is to take place).
● Version V4.2: Upgrading via a USB stick is not supported.
● Version < V4.3 SP1 HF12: The USB stick may only be inserted when the Control Unit is
switched off.
● Version ≥ V4.3 SP1 HF12: The USB stick can be inserted when the Control Unit is switched
on or off.
Procedure
When using a USB stick to perform an upgrade, proceed as follows:
1. Check the position of the service selector switch (upper rotary switch SVC/NCK). The switch
must be in the "0" position.
2. Insert the USB stick in one of the two USB interfaces of the activated D4x5‑2 (only one
USB stick may be inserted).
3. Switch the device OFF/ON or reset it using the RESET button.
