Upgrading SIMOTION D410

The actions described in this section also apply to downgrading to an older version.

Various possibilities are available to perform a software and firmware update for SIMOTION D410:

Upgrade the supplied upgrade data using the CF card adapter

Upgrade using IT-DIAG (license required)

Upgrade using the SCOUT "Start update devices tool" function

The first method is described in the following section. The two other methods are described in the SIMOTION SCOUT Configuration Manual, in the Upgrading SIMOTION Devices Function Manual and in the online help.

Note

A firmware update using IT-DIAG is supported only as of SIMOTION version V4.1 SP2.

Upgrade the supplied upgrade data using the CF card adapter

Prerequisite

The current firmware for the SIMOTION devices is contained on the SIMOTION SCOUT CDs (e.g. the d4xx.zip file for the SIMOTION D4xx firmware is located in the \3_D4xx\Firmware\... directory). Upgrading the SIMOTION D410 automatically updates the firmware of all connected SINAMICS components.

Note

Observe the readme files and upgrade instructions included in the delivery of new SIMOTION versions.

Use only CF cards released for SIMOTION D410 and which have an appropriate correct boot loader version.

You can obtain the compatibility relationships from the "software products" compatibility list on the SIMOTION SCOUT Add-On CD and in the Internet at http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/de/18857317.

NOTICE

The upgrade operation deletes all project data and parameters from the CompactFlash Card!
