Updating Firmware On Ethercat - Servotronix CDHD2S User Manual

Drive Setup
The Firmware Download dialog box opens, allowing you to send a firmware file to the
drive via the serial communication link.
3. Browse and select the firmware file.
4. Click "Start" to download the firmware file to the drive.
During the firmware update process, the digital display shows E:
This process takes several minutes.
When the process is completed, the new firmware will start running.
5. Download the drive parameter file to the drive.
6. Perform "Save" to save the parameters in the non-volatile drive memory.
7. Restart the power and run the machine.
If machine behavior has changed, please contact technical support.
8. Retrieve the parameter file from the drive and save the file for future reference and backup.
9. Repeat the firmware update procedure for each drive in the machine.

4.12.4 Updating firmware on EtherCAT

The firmware update can be performed using the FileoverEtherCAT (FoE) download protocol.
The CDHD2S runs in a bootloader state, allowing firmware to be downloaded to the host controller
over the EtherCAT network. Therefore, standardized firmware can be downloaded to the device
even without TCP/IP support.
Note:
The drive resident (bootloader) must be version 1.3.1 or above.
The version can be checked in the ServoStudio2 Terminal screen via command VER. If the
system has a regenerative resistor, the "-1" value of REGENRES or REGENPOW will disable the
regenerative resistor overload protection algorithm.
