ctrlX SAFETY "SafeMotion"
Replacing drive components
● Ethernet communication with a device has to be ensured when replacing the
firmware via ctrlX DRIVE Engineering (see the application manual “TCP/IP
communication”) .
●
Do not switch off the 24V control voltage while replacing the firmware.
●
Always complete the firmware replacement.
Also refer to the “How-to instruction" to the ⮫ firmware replacement for ctrlX
DRIVE on the community platform of ctrlX AUTOMATION.
Preparing the firmware replacement
Firmware replacement requirements:
● The device has to be in the configuration mode (CM).
● It is recommended to save the backup parameters before replacing the firm-
ware (see application manual " Loading, storing and saving parameters”).
Firmware release update or firmware release downgrade
It is recommended to save the backup the device parameters before a firmware
release update or a firmware release downgrade (see application manual "
Loading, storing and saving parameters”).
If the firmware is replaced for a device with active SafeMotion, this procedure
has to be recorded in the machine logbook, together with the axis identifier
(P‑0‑3235.0.1), configuration type data (P‑0‑3234.0.1) and parameterization
type data (P‑0‑3234.0.4).
In case of a device with safety technology options “M5”, the system
checks whether firmware and parameter set are compatible. Oper-
ating the safety technology with an incompatible parameter set is
prevented (the diagnostics "C8213 SMO: Incorrect parameterization“ or
“C8214 SMO: Incorrect configuration“ are generated). Incompatible parameter
sets are caused by Safe Motion functions being used that are no longer avail-
able in the currently loaded firmware (older firmware release).
In case of an incompatibility of firmware and parameter set, there are two
options:
−
Either continue with the existing parameterization by reloading the origi-
nally available firmware or
−
or perform the complete initial commissioning with the new firmware,
including the loading of the basic parameters for SMO.
To update a firmware release or to downgrade a firmware release, proceed as
follows:
