the SD card and re-power on the drive. After a successful firmware update, you must reset all parameters to their default
values (see Section "Setting parameter set to default (Page 468)" for details).
Note
Possible update failure
If the update fails, the RDY indicator flashes red at 2 Hz and the COM indicator becomes red on.
An update failure is probably caused by improper firmware files or files missing:
If the firmware files on the SD card are corrupt, the servo drive
start up after power-on.
If the firmware on the SD card is the same with the current firmware of the servo drive,
a restart is performed.
When a failure occurs, try to update the firmware again with proper firmware files.
If the failure persists, contact your local
Note
Update the firmware by restarting the drive
With the SD card containing proper firmware files inserted, you can also update the firmware by restarting the drive.
