As a general rule, you will receive the firmware in the form of a
self-unpacking *.exe-File:
Mc_vxxx.exe for Compact, chassis and cubicle units
Mcp_vxxx.exe for Compact PLUS units.
xxx stands for the firmware version: e.g. xxx = 121 signifies
Version V1.21. The file contains the software necessary for loading
the firware from the PC to the converter as well as the firmware
itself.
You will find the latest version of the firmware on the Internet at
http://www.ad.siemens.de/ld/html_00/custosup/html_00/
ds_update.htm
Files for the
firmware
Copy the compressed file "Mc_vxxx.exe" or "Mcp_vxxx.exe", which
you have received by e-mail or downloaded from the Internet, to
your hard disk, e.g. to c:\mcboot. Call the file with the command
Mc_vxxx or Mcp_vxxx. The following files will then be unpacked
from Mc_xxx.exe:
bsl. exe, bslmc.bat, bslmc.cfg, bslmc.bin, Readmemc.doc,
Tech.pdf, Teche.pdf and mc_vxxx.b86.
The following files will then be unpacked from Mcp_xxx.exe:
bsl. exe, bslmcp.bat, bslmcp.cfg, bslmc.bin, Readmemc.doc,
Tech.pdf, Teche.pdf und mcp_vxxx.b86.
After unpacking, the files are available in directory c:\mcboot.
If necessary, the PC interface and the baud rate can be changed in
file bslmc.cfg or bslmcp.cfg. The default settings are COM1 and
57600 baud.
Loading the boot
files on the
drive
c:\mcboot\
Switch OFF the 24 V power supply at the converter. Use the above-
mentioned connecting cable to connect the COM port of the PC
with plug connector X103 in the case of Compact PLUS units, or
X300 in the case of Compact and chassis units. Switch ON the
24 V power supply at the converter.
If the connecting cable is making proper contact at the ports, the
PMU (seven-segment display on the converter) will remain dark in
the case of Compact PLUS units, or an "E" will appear on the PMU
in the case of Compact and chassis units.
Make connection
and power up
the unit
Now start the boot procedure by calling from directory C: batch file
bslmcp in the case of Compact PLUS units, or bslmc in the case of
Compact and chassis units.
The flash memory is erased. During the correct boot procedure, the
number "8" appears on the PMU in the case of Compact PLUS
units, or an "E" in the case of Compact and chassis units. In the
DOS window on the PC screen appears a number that constantly
counts upwards.
Wait until the DOS prompt appears again in the DOS window. It
takes about 2 to 3 minutes, depending on microprocessor
performance.
The converters are initialized automatically at the end of the boot
procedure, i.e. the parameters are counted up at the PMU.
