Upgrading The Cx32-2 - Siemens SIMOTION D4 5-2 Series Commissioning And Hardware Installation Manual

6.4.7.3

Upgrading the CX32-2

CX32-2 modules are always operated with the same firmware version as the SINAMICS
Integrated of a SIMOTION D.
This means no additional measures need to be taken for CX32-2 modules.
If the firmware version of the SIMOTION D is upgraded via HW Config, the SINAMICS
Integrated and the connected CX32-2 controller extension are also automatically upgraded.
For instructions on upgrading a SIMOTION D see also Section Adapting a project
(Upgrading the project / Replacing the SIMOTION controller) (Page 319).
Note
The components' firmware is upgraded or downgraded automatically based on the FW
version on the CompactFlash card and the FW version on the SINAMICS components
(DRIVE-CLiQ components, CBE30-2, TB30, PM340, etc.).
The update can take several minutes and its progress is tracked by corresponding
messages appearing in the alarm window of SIMOTION SCOUT.
A firmware update on DRIVE-CLiQ components is indicated by the RDY LED flashing red
and green:
• FW update running: RDY LED flashes slowly (0.5 Hz)
• FW update complete: RDY LED flashes quickly (2 Hz)
These flashing patterns are also displayed on the yellow RDY LED on the
SIMOTION D/CX32-2 and indicate that a FW update is being carried out on components
connected to the SIMOTION D/CX32-2 or that all components have completed the FW
update.
Go offline once all the FW updates have been completed. POWER ON the
upgraded/downgraded components.
