Hardware and firmware upgrades/downgrades
By "taking along" the memory module, all parameter settings of a device can be
transferred to another device, for instance, in case of a device replacement. When
switched on, the inverter checks whether the parameter settings saved in the memory
module match the inverter hardware and firmware. In case of an incompatibility, a
corresponding error message is output.
The following table contains details on different scenarios:
Compatibility check
User data
ß
Device has a newer firmware
Example: Version 2.x
version
3.x
The "firmware upgrade" is recognised.
•
The user parameter settings are loaded without an action
being
required by the user.
•
If the parameter settings are saved afterwards, the user memory
is
reinitialised with the current parameter settings. By this
means, parameter settings no longer required are deleted
Device has an older firmware
Example: Version 4.x
version
3.x
version incompatible
The data is loaded into the RAM memory but are incompatible.
Remedy:
1.
Execute device command "Load default settings"
0x2022:001
(P700.01).
2.
Execute device command "Save user data" 0x2022:003 (P700.03)
or
"Save OEM data" 0x2022:006 (P700.06) in order that the error
does not occur at the next switch-on.
Firmware type is different
firmware type
Power unit is different (and
incompatible with saved data)
0x7693: EPM data: PU
size incompatible
Country code is different
Example: EU
USA
firmware type
incompatible
Device has less functionality
Examples for :
Application I/O
à
Standard I/O
Network option is different
Example: CANopen
à
PROFIBUS
data: new
firmware type
detected
The data is loaded into the RAM memory and is compatible. However,
the settings must be accepted by the user:
1. Reset error.
2.
Execute device command "Save user data" 0x2022:003 (P700.03)
or
"Save OEM data" 0x2022:006 (P700.06) in order that the error
does not occur at the next switch-on.
Alternatively, the default setting can be loaded and then saved.
Device has more functionality
Examples:
Standard I/O

Power unit is different (but
compatible with saved data)
Example:
230 V/0.75 kW
à
400 V/5.5 kW
new PU size detected
The data is loaded into the RAM memory and is compatible. However,
the settings must be accepted by the user:
