Procedure
You can use a card adapter to write the entire project to the CompactFlash card, even in
offline mode. In SIMOTION SCOUT, you can call the "Load to file system" function in the
context menu of the SIMOTION device.
1. Save and compile the project.
2. Switch the SIMOTION D4x5-2 off.
3. Remove the CompactFlash card and insert it into a card adapter. The card adapter must
be connected to a PG/PC.
4. In the SCOUT project, select the SIMOTION D4x5-2 device that you want to download to
the CompactFlash card.
5. Click "Load to file system" in the context menu. A dialog box opens.
6. In the "Load to File System" dialog box, select the "Save normally" option and click the
"Select target" button.
7. Select the target drive.
8. Confirm your entries with "OK". The data is written to the CompactFlash card.
9. Remove the CompactFlash card and insert it into the slot on the D4x5-2.
10. Switch the D4x5-2 on. The D4x5-2 powers up with the downloaded project.
Note
The components' firmware is upgraded or downgraded automatically based on the FW
version on the CompactFlash card and the FW version on the SINAMICS components
(DRIVE-CLiQ components, CBE30-2, TB30, PM340, etc.).
The update can take several minutes and its progress is tracked by corresponding
messages appearing in the alarm window of SIMOTION SCOUT.
A FW update on DRIVE-CLiQ components is indicated by the RDY LED flashing
red/green:
• FW update running: RDY LED flashes slowly (0.5 Hz)
• FW update complete: RDY LED flashes quickly (2 Hz)
These flashing patterns are also displayed on the yellow RDY LED on the
SIMOTION D/CX32-2 and indicate that a FW update is being carried out on components
connected to the SIMOTION D/CX32-2 or that all components have completed the FW
update.
Go offline once all the FW updates are complete. Perform a POWER ON for the
upgraded/downgraded components.
CBE30-2 option board:
During the firmware update, the OPT LED of the SIMOTION D module and the SYNC
LED of the CBE30-2 flash green.
