8.26 Upgrade the firmware and project

Once the project has been downloaded or automatic configuration has been carried out, the

firmware is automatically upgraded on all the connected DRIVE-CLiQ components. This

upgrades all DRIVE-CLiQ components to the firmware releases that match the memory card.

This operation can take several minutes. This is indicated by the RDY-LED on the

corresponding components flashing green/red and the Control Unit RDY-LED flashing orange

Parameter p7827 indicates the progress.

The update has been completed if the RDY-LED on the Control Unit stops to flash at 0.5 Hz.

Once the update process has been completed, the RDY-LED of the respective component

goes into a steady light condition, for which the upgrade has been completed and the new

firmware has been activated. For the components for which the RDY LED flashes green/red at

2 Hz you must perform a POWER ON to activate the new firmware.

When activating the new firmware, it is possible that a component interrupts cyclic

communication. Communication problems will then occur that you must acknowledge.

For individual components, use the "General" Startdrive diagnostics screen to read out the

firmware version. The versions of the DRIVE-CLiQ components and that of the Control Unit can

also differ. Information can be found in the version overview.

DRIVE-CLiQ components with higher firmware releases are downwards compatible and also

operate with DRIVE-CLiQ components that have lower firmware releases.
