11.1 Upgrading the device firmware
Step 2: Firmware update of the drive
Notes:
Only those memory cards that Siemens has prepared for these systems are accepted.
If the memory card is formatted, then this must always be realized with the FAT16 setting.
Download the current firmware version: See preface
Procedure:
1. Unzip the *.zip file to an empty memory card
2. Insert the card in the drive, which has been switched-off, and switch the device on again.
A firmware update is being performed. The update has been completed if the RDY-LED
and the DP1-LED flash at 0.5 Hz (the update takes about 12 min).
3. Carry out a POWER OFF. Remove the memory card from the drive.
4. Carry out a POWER ON. The new firmware is now active.
If a memory card is already in the drive, the following mechanism described in Chapter
"Memory card functions (Page 327)", Section "Copying parameter data sets from non-
volatile memory to the memory card" takes effect.
– The connected TM modules and/or SMC10 or SMC30 carry out a firmware update
– An optionally connected AOP30 indicates that new AOP firmware is available. Confirm
Note
As a result of the device firmware update, DCC charts in the device are not automatically
upgraded to the new DCC version. This is also not absolutely necessary. See also Step 5
(next chapter).

NOTICE
Removing the memory card before POWER ON
If the memory card is not removed from the drive before the POWER ON, the
parameterization in the drive is copied to the memory card during power-up, or a
parameterization already on the card copied to the drive.
For a detailed description of this function, see Chapter "Memory card functions
(Page 327)", Section "Copying parameter data sets from non-volatile memory to the
memory card".
when powered up for the first time.
After the firmware update of these components, it is necessary to carry out a POWER
OFF / POWER ON for these components. The memory card no longer needs to be
inserted for this step.
