10.5 Software Update
The firmware of the Advanced safety option board can be updated to add new features or to fix errors.
Always make sure that you use the latest or correct revision of the manual when assessing the behavior of the Advanced safety
option board. See 1.3 Manual and Software
When updating the firmware:
• Find out if the new version offers additional features that are necessary in the system, and if there are faults in the current ver-
sion that have an effect on the system.
• Depending on the changes, it may be that other systems connected to the option board will also require new versions or modi-
fications to account for the changed behavior of the option board. These can include the components of the AC drive and the
external systems.
• Changing the firmware of the option board can have an effect on the behavior of the overall safety system. Consider the need
for a revalidation of the whole system before you update any software.
• Due to changes in the safety functions, it is possible that the parameter file of an old firmware version is not compatible with
the new firmware version. Creation of a new parameter file for the option board can be necessary after an update.
The firmware can be updated only via the panel connector of the AC drive.
To update the firmware of the option board, use these tools and data:
• The cable and other equipment for connecting a PC to the AC drive.
• The updated firmware file.
• The VACON Loader for updating the firmware on the option board.

• The VACON Safe tool for reading and saving the parameter file.
