Maintenance and service 5.4 SIMOTION CompactFlash Card
5.4.4Bootloader on the CompactFlash card
Writing a bootloader
A bootloader may need to be written in the following situations:
●When a new bootloader is required for the used SIMOTION D410 firmware version.
●When a new bootloader is required for the used SIMOTION D410 hardware version.
●When the bootloader is defective.
The bootloader version can be fetched using the SIMOTION SCOUT device diagnosis. If this is not possible because of the following reason, this can be caused by an incorrect bootloader version. In this case, replace the bootloader version with the current version.
●The SIMOTION D410 does not startup, the RDY LED flashes red at 0.5 Hz and the RUN/STOP LED lights red or all LEDs remain off.
Use the "Options > Write boot sector..." function to write the bootloader version in the SIMOTION SCOUT to the CF card.
Detailed information for the CF card, bootloader version, SIMOTION D410 hardware and SIMOTION firmware version compatibility relationships is contained in the software compatibility list. This list is available both in the supplied documentation of the SIMOTION SCOUT CD at \1_Important\German\Kompatibilität\ . . . and also in the Internet at "http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/de/18857317"
