Description
1.9 CompactFlash card
SIMOTION D4x5-2
32 Manual, 02/2012
Properties of the CompactFlash card
The CompactFlash card is essential for operation of the SIMOTION D4x5-2. The
CompactFlash card is not supplied with the SIMOTION D4x5-2 and must be ordered
separately.
The SIMOTION Kernel (SIMOTION D4x5-2 firmware) and the software used to control the
drives (SINAMICS firmware) are contained on the CompactFlash card.
The CompactFlash card is used for
● Backing up the technology packages and user data (programs, configuration data,
parameter assignments).
● Update (e.g. SIMOTION firmware update).
The licenses for the technology functions are linked to the serial number of the
CompactFlash card. This means the CompactFlash card can be inserted in a different
SIMOTION D without having to change the licenses.
The CompactFlash card is supplied in a bootable format with the latest SIMOTION Kernel
and drive software. Please note that a CompactFlash card with a D4x5 kernel/drive software
cannot run on a D4x5-2. The same applies for the reverse situation.
If an error occurs, all LEDs flash yellow with 2 Hz. An entry is also made in the diagnostic
buffer and the D4x5-2 does not start.
Licenses purchased for SIMOTION D can be used for both the D4x5 and D4x5-2.
CAUTION
The CompactFlash card may only be inserted or removed when the system is de-
energized. The SIMOTION D4x5-2 is in a de-energized state when all the LEDs are off.
