Requirements
• Valid 󹪝rmware update
You will 󹪝nd the latest 󹪝rmware 󹪝les on the 3RW5 topic page (
https://
support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109747404).
• For operation of an application in Class I and Class II Hazardous Locations:
DANGER
Loss of the certi󹪝ed motor overload protection according to ATEX/IECEx.
Will cause death or serious injury.
A certi󹪝ed motor overload protection according to ATEX / IECEx is only provided for 3RW55
soft starters from 󹪝rmware version V2.0 (does not apply to 3RW55 Failsafe soft starters).
Note that it is not permissible to downgrade to a previous 󹪝rmware version because
otherwise certi󹪝ed motor overload protection according to ATEX / IECEx cannot be
guaranteed.
Procedure
1. Make sure that the motor is switched o󹪜 and you do not start the motor during the 󹪝rmware
update.
A control command for starting the motor is not supported during the 󹪝rmware update.
To ensure the quickest and most fault-free 󹪝rmware update, it is recommended that you
disconnect the main supply voltage (operational voltage) of the 3RW55 and 3RW55 Failsafe
soft starters and put the CPU / PLC into the STOP state.
2. Perform the update of the device 󹪝rmware.
The following procedures are possible:
– With a micro SD card via the 3RW5 HMI High Feature (Page 277)
– Via the local interface of the 3RW5 HMI High Feature with SIRIUS Soft Starter ES
(TIA Portal)
Brief overview: Window "Project Navigation" with current project under created Soft
Starter > "Online & Diagnostics" > Window "Work area" > "Soft Starter /
3RW5 communication module used / HMI > Functions > Firmware Update"
– With a 󹪝eldbus via a 3RW5 communication module with SIRIUS Soft Starter ES (TIA Portal)
Premium / Professional or the con󹪝guration software of the controller (e.g. STEP 7 with
corresponding HSP) (via a 3RW5 PROFINET or PROFIBUS communication module only)
Note
Firmware update of the 3RW5 PROFINET High Feature communication module
The 󹪝rmware update of the 3RW5 PROFINET High Feature communication module via SIRIUS
Soft Starter ES (TIA Portal) at the local interface or using a micro SD card via the 3RW5 HMI
High Feature can take a very long time in comparison with other options (up to about
60 minutes).
