DRIVE-CLiQ component firmware update

DRIVE-CLiQ components
The SINAMICS Integrated (for SINAMICS S120 control units, the memory card) also contains
the firmware for the DRIVE-CLiQ components. With factory setting p7826 = 1, this is
automatically transferred from SINAMICS Integrated (for SINAMICS S120 control units from
the memory card) to the DRIVE-CLiQ components upon initial commissioning.
The firmware is saved to non-volatile memory in the DRIVE-CLiQ components in the event of
an upgrade.
Following a project download or automatic configuration, a firmware update is automatically
performed on all connected DRIVE-CLiQ components. This upgrades all DRIVE-CLiQ
components to the correct firmware versions.
Update process
The update process can take a few minutes. It is indicated by the RDY LED on the relevant
component flashing green/red and the RDY LED for SINAMICS Integrated (or on the control
unit) flashing yellow at 0.5 Hz.
A progress indicator is implemented in parameter p7827.
The update is complete when the RDY LED of the SINAMICS Integrated (control unit) stops
flashing at 0.5 Hz. Once the upgrade has ended, the RDY LED for the component in question
remains continuously lit, provided the upgrade is complete and the new firmware has been
activated.
For components whose RDY LED is flashing green/red at 2 Hz, you need to perform a POWER
OFF/POWER ON to activate the new firmware.
For components without LED (for example motors with DRIVE-CLiQ interface), check for
relevant warnings on the drive.
Note
During activation of the new firmware, it is possible for a component to interrupt cyclic
communication. In this case, communication faults occur and must be acknowledged.
