1.
Make sure that the motor is switched off and you do not start the motor during the
firmware update.
A control command for starting the motor is not supported during the firmware update.
To ensure the quickest and most fault-free firmware update, it is recommended that you
disconnect the main voltage of the 3RW50 soft starter and set the CPU / PLC to
STOP state.
2.
Perform the update of the device firmware.
The following procedures are possible:
–
With a micro SD card via the 3RW5 HMI High Feature (Page 188)
–
Via the local interface of the 3RW5 HMI High Feature with SIRIUS Soft Starter ES
(TIA Portal)
–
With a fieldbus via a 3RW5 communication module with SIRIUS Soft Starter ES
(TIA Portal) Premium or the configuration software of the controller (e.g. STEP 7 with
corresponding HSP) (via a 3RW5 PROFINET or PROFIBUS communication module
only).
