Upgrading firmware releases
This chapter describes how you can upgrade a drive – including STARTER project – from
one firmware version to a higher firmware version (e.g. V1.1 to V1.2).
The following steps are necessary:
● Upgrading the device firmware
– Step 1: Backup the configuration
– Step 2: Firmware update of the drive (incl. I/O)
– Step 3: Update the STARTER project
– Step 4: Load into the target system, RAM to ROM
● Upgrade the DCC technology option (optional)
– Step 5: Update the DCC technology option (DCBLIB) and the DCC charts
– Step 6: Load into the target system, RAM to ROM
Note
A memory card is required for the firmware update (see Chapter
"Ordering information for
(Page 30)").
When updating the firmware, always proceed as follows:
1. Firmware update of the drive
– Insert the memory, then switch the electronic power supply OFF and ON again.
The device firmware is now installed.
– Switch the electronic power supply OFF and ON again. The device firmware just
installed now powers up.
If neither a CBE20 nor DRIVE-CLiQ components are available, the drive is ready for
operation.
However, if a CBE20 or DRIVE-CLiQ components or both are available, the firmware
of these components is updated during the power-up of the device firmware. At the
end of the power-up of the device firmware, the DRIVE-CLiQ components indicate that
a restart is required through flashing red LEDs. Alarm A1006 also appears. Switch the
electronic power supply OFF and ON again a third time.
– If only a CBE20 is connected, there is no indication after the second OFF and ON that
the CBE20 also requires a restart so that the CBE20 firmware installed in the previous
step is also started. However, a third OFF and ON of the electronic power supply is
also required in this case.
2. Update the STARTER project
3. Load the converted STARTER project to the drive (load to the target device)
