7.4 Performing a firmware and project update
SIMOTION D4x5-2
336 Commissioning and Hardware Installation Manual, 02/2012
Note
If the firmware for SIMOTION D is being upgraded or downgraded, the component
firmware will also be upgraded or downgraded automatically depending on the
firmware version on the CompactFlash card and the firmware version on the
SINAMICS components (DRIVE-CLiQ components, CBE30-2, TB30, PM340, etc.).
The upgrade procedure can take several minutes and is indicated by LED displays.
A firmware update on DRIVE-CLiQ components is indicated by the RDY LED flashing
red and 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.
Once the firmware update is complete on all components, the components that have
been upgraded/downgraded must be powered up.
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.
