Maintenance 11.1 Upgrading firmware releases 11.1 Upgrading firmware releases This chapter describes how you can upgrade a drive — including STARTER project — from one firmware version to a higher firmware version (e.g. V1.1 to V1.2). Basic Information The following steps are necessary: ‘© Upgrading the device firmware Step 1: Backup the configuration Step 2: Firmware update of the drive (incl VO) Step 3: Update the STARTER project Step 4: Load into the target system, RAM to ROM © Upgrade the DCC technology option (optional) = Step 5: Update the DCC technology option (DCBLIB) and the DCC charts = Step 6: Load into the target system, RAM to ROM Note ‘Amemory card is required for the firmware update (see Chapter "Ordering information for ‘options and accessories (Page 30) ‘When updating the firmware, always proceed as follows: 1, Firmware update of the drive = Insert the memory, then switch the electronic power supply OFF and ON again, The device firmware is now installed. = Switch the electronic power supply OFF and ON again. The device firmware just installed now powers up. Hf neither a CBEZ0 nor DRIVE-CLiQ components are available, the drive is ready for operation. However, if a CBE20 or DRIVE-CLIQ components or both are available, the firmware of these components is updated during the power-up of the device firmware. At the end of the power-up of the device firmware, the DRIVE-CLiQ components indicate that a restart is required through flashing red LEDs. Alarm A1006 also appears. Switch the electronic power supply OFF and ON again a third time. = Ifonly a CBE20 is connected, there is no indication after the second OFF and ON that the CBE20 also requires a restart so that the CBE20 firmware installed in the previous step is also started. However, a third OFF and ON of the electronic power supply is also required in this case. 2. Update the STARTER project 3. Load the converted STARTER project to the drive (load to the target device) SINAMICS DCM DC Converter 686 ing Instructions, 12/2018, ASESA763375AMaintenance 11.1 Upgrading firmware releases Do not proceed as follows: 1, Firmware update of the drive 2, Create a NEW STARTER project 3. Load into the PG In this case, under certain circumstances, STARTER cannot assign the project to the correct drive version. I the STARTER project is not available, generale a new project with the old device version (load into the PG before the firmware update) and then proceed as normal, 144 Upgrading the device firmware Note Hardware/firmware compatibility ‘The hardware version of the Control Unit (CUD) must be taken into account when updating the device firmware, See the table below. ‘The hardware version can be read from the label on the right-hand side of the CUD.

Nevertheless, before starting the firmware update, back up the drive configuration: ‘© Backup the parameter assignment on a memory card (see Chapter “Functions of the memory card") and/or ‘© Backup the parameter assignment in a STARTER project (see Chapter "Commissioning with the STARTER commissioning tool (Page 287)") SINAMICS DCM DC Converter Operating Instuctions, 12/2018, ASESA763375A 687Maintenance 11.1 Upgrading firmware releases Step 2: Firmware update of the drive Note Only those memory cards that Siemens has prepared for these systems are accepted Ifthe memory card is formatted, then this must always be realized with the FAT16 setting, Download the current firmware version: See preface Procedure: 4, Unzip the *. 2, Insert the card in the drive, which has been switched-off, and switch the device on again. A firmware update is being performed. The update has been completed if the RDY-LED and the DP1-LED flash at 0.5 Hz (the update takes about 12 min). ip file to an empty memory card 3. Carry out a POWER OFF. Remove the memory card from the drive. NOTICE Removing the memory card before POWER ON If the memory card is not removed from the drive before the POWER ON, the parameterization in the drive is copied to the memory card during power-up, or a parameterization already on the card copied to the drive. For a detailed description of this function, see Chapter "Memory card functions (Page 359)", Section "Copying parameter data sets from non-volatile memory to the memory car 4, Carry out a POWER ON. The new firmware is now active. Ifa memory card is already in the drive, the following mechanism described in Chapter "Memory card functions (Page 369)", Section "Copying parameter data sets from non- volatile memory to the memory card’ takes effect. The connected TM modules and/or SMC10 or SMC30 carry out a firmware update when powered up for the first time. After the firmware update of these components, it is necessary to carry out a POWER OFF / POWER ON for these components. The memory card no longer needs to be inserted for this step. = An optionally connected AOP30 indicates that new AOP firmware is available. Confirm the prompt after the update with "OK". Note As a result of the device firmware update, DCC charts in the device are not automatically upgraded to the new DCC version. This is also not absolutely necessary. See also Step 5 (next chapter). SINAMICS DCM DC Converter 688 ing Instructions, 12/2018, ASESA763375AMaintenance 11.1 Upgrading firmware releases Note The electronic power supply must not be interrupted during the firmware update, otherwise the update will need to be restarted, Note To safely remove the memory card, see Chapte "Memory card functions (Page 359) Step 3: Update the STARTER project Install the SSP that matches the new firmware version (e.g. SSP SINAMICS DCP V1.2) SPs for different versions of the same drive can be simultaneously installed in STARTER Open the existing STARTER project (that refers to an old device version). Right-click the device in the project navigator and select "Target device" > "Device version...". Select the new device version and confirm with "Change version". The project is converted to the new device version, Note STARTER does not support a "downgrade" of the firmware version (e.g. V1.2 to V1.1). Step 4: Load Into the target system, RAM to ROM Load the project into the drive (load into the target system) and permanently save the parameter assignment (carry out RAM to ROM).

Only upgrade the DCC library if you wish to use functions that the old DCC library does not support. Itis only possible to upgrade the DCC library via the associated STARTER project. While upgra 9, it is not permissible that there is a DCC chart in the drive. ‘After you have upgraded the unit firmware according to the previous chapter, update the DCC technology option as follows: ‘* Establish a connection to the drive using STARTER. ‘Delete the parameter assignment and DCC charts in the drive, by setting p0976 to 200, After deleting, the parameterization including the DCC charts only exist in STARTER, ‘After the system was reset via p0967 = 200, re-establish a connection to the drive via STARTER. ‘© Import the new DCC library (see Chapter "Drive Control Chart (OCC) (Page 663)" Se Selectihe techeloy packages thal ths deview isto use Tecinolowy package namie version oftine)| Version fntine] “aston Traci SNANCS 4.520 FF Wecti_sniaiacs 4-220 vanazaa Ciario teat ae ¥] Deleon inter Pen stn eae « (a) Figure 11-1 Selecting technology packages ‘© Carry out a POWER OFF / POWER ON to activate the new DCC library. 690 SINAMICS DCM DC Converter Operating Instructions, 12/2018, ASESA763375AMaintenance 11.1 Upgrading fimware releases ‘© Convert the existing DCC Charts = Open the DCC editor by double clicking on the DCC chart — Inthe DCC editor, in the menu, selection "Option: + "Block types.. — Answer the question "Do you wish to update the block types in the DCC editor" with "OK" eo Doyauontousdethe Hock weet ie DOE et?
