5.2.3 Downloading the firmware file (.S) (memory card >> motor controller)
The process for downloading the firmware file (.S) from the memory card c an be configured via DIL
switc h [S1.8]. If the DI L switch position = ON, the process for downloading the firmware is restarted
with every Power ON procedure/controller reboot (FCT).

Fig. 5.5 Downloading the firmware file ( .S ) (memory card >> motor c ontroller)
To download the firmware from the memory card, proceed as follows:
1. Copy the firmware file (.S) from the PC to the memory card.
Note :
– Only one firmware file should be stored on the memory card.
– No subdirectories should be cre ated on the memory card.

2. Insert the memory card into the card slot [M1].
3. Set the DI L switch [S1.8] to the “ON” position.
4. Switch the “control section” power supply off and on.
5. During the boot procedure the motor controller performs a check (illuminated decimal point “.” on
the seven-segment display) to verify whether a memory card is inserted in the card slot [M1] and
whether the card contains a valid firmware version.
Possible causes of an error:
– Memory card is damaged
– Memory card is not inser ted.
– Firmware file is damaged.
– The firmware version in the motor controller and on the memory card are identical.
If the errors listed above occur, the firmware is not do wnloaded and the firmware last
saved in the permanent memory is loaded.
6. The process for downloading the firmware file is executed (flashing decimal point “.” on the seven-
segment display) if a v alid firmware file is present on the memory card and if this file is of a different
version to the f irmware currently in use.
