5.3.9 Upgrading the device version of SINAMICS S120 control units
Overview
You can upgrade the device versions of SINAMICS S120 control units that are connected to
the SIMOTION D via PROFIBUS or PROFINET in the SIMOTION SCOUT. The SINAMICS
version can only ever be upgraded in a project; it cannot be downgraded.
Note
During device replacement in HW Config, the SINAMICS version of the SINAMICS
Integrated of the SIMOTION D410 is automatically upgraded.
During the module replacement in HW Config, the SIMOTION and the SINAMICS version is
always determined by selection of a D410 module.
If a SINAMICS S120 control unit is connected via PROFIBUS or PROFINET, the SINAMICS
version can be selected independently of the SINAMICS Integrated version.
Procedure
To upgrade a SINAMICS drive unit:
1. Right-click the relevant device, e.g. the SINAMICS S120 CU320-2 DP.
2. Select "Target device" > "Upgrade device version/characteristic" in the context menu.
The "Upgrade Device Version/Characteristic" dialog box is displayed, listing all available
firmware versions.
