Summary

Introduction

Determining Firmware Revision Level

Using the Drive LCD HIM

Procedure to determine firmware revision using the drive's LCD HIM interface.

Using DriveExplorer Lite;Full

Using DriveExecutive

Firmware Flashing

Installing the Flash Kit

Steps to install the necessary flash kit utility for firmware updates.

Using DriveExplorer Lite;Full to Flash Update

Using DriveExecutive to Flash Update

Using ControlFLASH to Flash Update

Using HyperTerminal to Flash Update

Enhancements

Scratch Pad and Scale Block Parameters for Options Developer Toolkit

New parameters for the options developer toolkit, including User Data and Scale Block.

Drive Performance Parameter Updates

Updates to Notch Filter Attenuation and Position KI Limit for improved performance.

Corrected Anomalies

High Torque with IPM Motors

Correction for IPM motor torque calculation, allowing up to 250% torque.

Fatal Exception 917 for Low Power Drives

Addresses Fatal Exception 917 (FPGA CRC fault) by allowing configuration of fault response.

DeviceLogix Parameters not Updating

Fixes incorrect display of DeviceLogix parameters for a short period.

Drive Behavior when a Reverse Commanded is given at Zero Speed

Corrects drive behavior when a reverse command is given at zero speed.

Inertia Compensation with Current Limit Stop

Ensures inertia compensation ramps to 0 during current limit stop in I/O connection.

PTC Status on 22-Series I;O Cards

Updates PTC Status behavior for 22-Series I/O cards to match engineering thresholds.

Automatic and Manual Speed Reference During Comm Loss

Corrects logic for automatic/manual speed reference during communication loss.

Start Command with Manual Speed Reference and Configured Digital Input

Allows communicated command word to start drive in manual mode with discrete digital input for run level.

Known Anomalies

Feedback Selection

Incorrect display of port options during feedback device selection under specific conditions.

Persistent Stop Command with Profile Message Fault Action

Persistent stop commands and nuisance fault actions when using specific Ethernet/IP modules.

Saving Parameters using Drive Explorer

Drive Explorer may enter an infinite loop when attempting to save all parameters.

Restrictions and Compatible Revisions

Max Output Frequency Limited to 590 Hz

Maximum output frequency limit reduced to 590Hz, potentially causing Over-Freq faults.

Implementation of Secure Flash

Firmware requires digitally signed files; V11.001 needed to enable secure flash.

EtherNet;IP Port and 20-750-ENETR Require Quality of Service (QoS)

EtherNet/IP scanner requires compatible QoS specification with specific modules.
