Technical Description
11.6 Firmware Update
The firmware of the Sunny Island can be updated using the SD card. When the Sunny Island starts up
or when the SD card is inserted, the Sunny Island searches for special update files on the SD card.
If it finds files containing new firmware versions, it performs an update when the Sunny Island is in
standby mode.
Proceed as follows for a firmware update:
1. Create a security copy of the existing parameter lists (see chapter 11.3 ”Saving and Loading
2. Download the current version of the firmware from the Internet at www.SMA.de/en.
3. Copy the "UPDATE.BIN" file onto the SD card.
4. Set the master device to standby.
5. Insert the SD card in the master's slot.
The Sunny Island is writing log data onto the SD card.
Note:
• You may only download firmware versions from www.SMA.de/en. Using
unauthorized firmware versions cancels the warranty.
• None of the already-existing parameter settings are changed or erased during a
firmware update.
• New parameters are set with default values.
• If there is an update to firmware version greater or equal to 5.000 the battery
management is automatically reset. All set parameters are lost.
• Do not activate the DC circuit breaker during the firmware update.
• Do not switch off the Sunny Island during the firmware update.
