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 respective device with the help of device-specific
firmware files. The retentive data is retained after the firmware has been updated.
Firmware updates and a history of the versions with the innovations are provided to you on
the Internet. Depending on what firmware updates are available, you can update the devices
individually or together.
You can perform a firmware update for the following devices:
3RW52 soft starter
3RW5 HMI High Feature (accessory) (not possible via fieldbus)
3RW5 communication module (accessory)
Requirements
Valid firmware update
You will find the latest firmware files on the 3RW5 topic page
(https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109747404).
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 (operating voltage) of the 3RW52 soft starter and set the
CPU / PLC to STOP operating 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 198)
– Via the local interface of the 3RW5 HMI High Feature with SIRIUS Soft Starter ES
– With a fieldbus via a 3RW5 communication module with SIRIUS Soft Starter ES
