5.14 Firmware update
n
There is the opportunity to execute a firmware update for the CPU and its compo-
nents via memory card. For this an accordingly prepared memory card must be in the
CPU during the startup.
n
So a firmware files can be recognized and assigned with startup, a pkg file name is
reserved for each updateable component an hardware release, which begins with
"px" and differs in a number with six digits. The pkg file name of every updateable
component may be found at a label right down the front flap of the module.
n
After PowerON and CPU STOP the CPU checks if there is a *.pkg file on the memory
card. If this firmware version is different to the existing firmware version, this is indi-
cated by blinking of the LEDs and the firmware may be installed by an update
request.
The latest firmware versions are to be found in the service area at www.yaskawa.eu.com.
For example the following files are necessary for the firmware update of the CPU
315-4PN23 and its components with hardware release 01:
n
315-4PN23, Hardware release 01: Px000308.pkg
n
PROFIBUS DP Master: Px000182.pkg
n
PROFINET IO controller: Px000300.pkg
CAUTION!
–
When installing a new firmware you have to be extremely careful.
Under certain circumstances you may destroy the CPU, for example
if the voltage supply is interrupted during transfer or if the firmware
file is defective. In this case, please call the VIPA-Hotline!
–
Please regard that the version of the update firmware has to be dif-
ferent from the existing firmware otherwise no update is executed.
The CPU has an integrated website that monitors information about firmware version of
the SPEED7 components. The Ethernet PG/OP channel provides the access to this web
site. The CPU has an integrated website that monitors information about firmware version
