9.5.1 Drive unit: Firmware upgrade
The firmware of a drive unit is upgraded using the STARTER commissioning
tool.
This procedure requires a functional project and a CF card with the new firmware.
Perform the following actions to upgrade the firmware:
1. Create a network link between the PG/PC and the drive unit.
2. Access the drive unit with the PG/PC online and load the current project into
the PG/PC from the drive unit.
3. Save the project with a new project name by selecting ”Save As...” and
close the old project.
4. Click the drive unit in the project view to convert the project to the new ver-
sion and select ”Target system” > ”Device version...” (1) from the menu.
In dialog box: ”Device version”, select the version to which the project
should be upgraded (2) and start the conversion process using the button:
”Change version” (3).
