5.6 EEProm upgrade
WARNING
The EEProm upgrade process has to be accomplished by skilled and
competent personnel. If the upgrade is not performed according to
the instructions provided or a wrong or incompatible EEProm
program is installed then the unit may not be updated correctly, in
some cases preventing the unit from working.
WARNING
The XML file version, the firmware version and the EEProm version
must always comply. For example: if the firmware version is H1_S4
(Hardware version: 1; Software version: 4), it is mandatory that the
EEProm version is S4, therefore you must then install the XML file
version V4.
WARNING
It is mandatory that in an EtherCAT network all devices are provided
with the same version of the firmware, EEProm and XML file. So
when you need to replace an old encoder installed in your network,
then you must either upgrade all the encoders in the network to the
last version compatible with the new encoder; or you must
downgrade the new encoder to the older version compatible with the
encoders already installed in the network.
1. In the left pane of the TwinCAT System Manager main window
press the Box (AMT58-ECAT) item of the encoder you need to
update: some tabbed pages for configuring and managing the
device will appear in the right pane. Enter the EtherCAT page.
