Note
Securing the supply voltage
On starting, and during the firmware update, the 24 V DC supply voltage must be applied at
the header module and the motor starter.
Note
Interrupted firmware update
If a firmware update has been interrupted, remove and reconnect the affected module before
a renewed firmware update.
WARNING
Risk of impermissible system states
The CPU switches to STOP mode or the interface module to "station failure" as a result of
the firmware update being installed. STOP or station failure due to a firmware update can
cause an unpredictable motor starter state. After completion of the update, the current PIO
and the input actions take effect again.
Unexpected operation of a process or a machine can lead to fatal or severe injuries and/or
to property damage.
Before installing the firmware update, ensure that the motor starter, the CPU and the
interface module are not executing an active process.
