3 1 HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS The hardware release of the Control Units determines which firmware versions can be installed. The CU310-2DP (order number 6SL3040-1LA00-0AA0) and CU310-2PN (order number 6SL3040-1LA01-0AA0) are not supported by firmware versions lower than V4.4. Any hardware release of the CU320-2DP with order number 6SL3040-1MA00-0AA0 can be upgraded to device version V4.6 / V4.7. The CU320-2 PN with order number 6SL3040-1MA01-0AA0 is supported by firmware version V4.4 and higher. The hardware version of your Control Unit is specified on the type plate: Type plate with order number and hardware version Type plate with order number and hardware version Fig. 1-1: CU320-2DP with type plate Page 3 / 21 June 30, 2014 Unrestricted / Siemens AG 2014

4 Short type plate with order number and hardware version Fig. 1-2: CU310-2 type plate with version data Firmware versions of V4.3.x or higher can only be installed on 1GB or 2GB 1 CompactFlash cards. 1GB cards are supplied with firmware version V4.3.x or higher and 2GB cards with firmware version V4.6 or higher. 1 The 2GB CompactFlash cards are an essential requirement for use of the feature Powerfail-proof firmware update via web server.

For a detailed description of this process, refer to the Starter Help BACK UP THE EXISTING PROJECT If a project is already stored on the CF card, use STARTER to download it to the PC/PG and make a backup copy if necessary. If the firmware has a new device version number (e.g. if you are updating versions V4.3.x through 4.6.x to V4.7.x), you must also select the relevant drive unit in the STARTER project tree and then select the required device version by clicking on menu options Target device Device version with the right mouse button: 2 SSP: SINAMICS Support Package: The appropriate SSP for the firmware is stored in subdirectory ADDON\SINAMICS\ES_TOOL\SSP in the zip file containing the new firmware Page 5 / 21 June 30, 2014 Unrestricted / Siemens AG 2014

7 NOTICE All project data and parameters on the CompactFlash card are deleted by the upgrade process described below! SWITCH OFF THE ELECTRONIC POWER SUPPLY Disconnect the power supply from the Control Unit (including the 24 V DC supply) INSERT THE CF CARD IN THE READER FOR THE PC / PG Remove the CompactFlash card from the Control Unit Insert this CompactFlash card into the reader connected to/in the PC/PG BACK UP LICENSES If the CompactFlash card contains a KEYS folder, back it up using the Windows Explorer on the PC/PG. This folder contains possible license keys for software options under license DELETE THE ENTIRE CONTENTS OF THE CF CARD Delete all files and folders from the CompactFlash card using Windows Explorer on the PC COPY NEW FIRMWARE TO THE CF CARD Extract the new firmware from the zip file using an unzip application, e.g. WINZIP, to any temporary directory of your choice on the PC/PG. Use Windows Explorer to move the contents of the temporary directory to the CompactFlash card INSTALL THE BACKED-UP LICENSES Use Windows Explorer to move the KEYS folder (if applicable, see step 2.3.6), from the PC/PG to the main directory on the CompactFlash card INSTALL THE BACKED-UP PROJECT Navigate to the backed-up project in STARTER (see step 2.3.3) Page 7 / 21 June 30, 2014 Unrestricted / Siemens AG 2014

Select the drive unit in the STARTER project navigator Execute the command Load to File System in the context menu (right mouse button) (see Fig. 2-3) In the dialog which now appears (see Fig.

11 3 GUIDE TO UPDATING VIA THE WEB SERVER 3.1 Preconditions PC/PG with Ethernet card Physical network connection (Ethernet) between the Control Unit and the PC/PG 3.2 Starting situation The starting situation involves a SINAMICS S120 converter on which firmware version V4.6 or higher is already installed 3 and needs to be changed to a different firmware version. 3.3 Firmware update procedure The following guide explains the steps you need to take in order to update firmware via the SINAMICS web server on a Windows PC ESTABLISH THE NETWORK CONNECTION (HARDWARE) The PC/PG and the Control Unit can be networked via the PROFINET interface or via the commissioning interface on the Control Unit. The process of creating a network connection using the commissioning interface is described by way of an example below: Ethernet connection Fig. 3-1: Hardware setup CONFIGURE THE NETWORK CONNECTION (SOFTWARE) Open the window Network connections by selecting Start Settings Network Connections on the Windows PC: 3 The firmware update process can be used, for example, to import hotfixes or service packs of version V4.6 Page 11 / 21 June 30, 2014 Unrestricted / Siemens AG 2014

Click on the Properties button Make a note of the existing settings so that you can restore them later! Select the settings as they are shown in Fig. 3-4 and confirm by clicking on the OK button: Fig.

13 Click on the Properties button Make a note of the existing settings so that you can restore them later! Select the settings as they are shown in Fig. 3-4 and confirm by clicking on the OK button: Fig. 3-4: TCP/IP settings on the PC/PG Note In the steps described above, it has been assumed that the network settings for the commissioning interface are still the same as the factory settings (p8901 p8904). If this is not the case, an IP address contained in the same subnet as the IP address of the Control Unit must be entered in the dialog shown in Fig CHECK THE NETWORK CONNECTION Open the DOS Shell (Start -> Run -> cmd -> OK) on the Windows PC and execute a Ping command to the Control Unit (IP address: ): Page 13 / 21 June 30, 2014 Unrestricted / Siemens AG 2014

15 Fig. 3-7: Start the web server If the Ping worked, but the start page of the web server is not displayed, then the problem is probably attributable to one of the following: 1. The firmware on the Control Unit is lower than version V4.6 A web server is not a component of the firmware 2. The proxy server settings of the web browser are not correct Check the proxy server settings (see Section ) 3. The web server is not activated on the Control Unit Follow the instructions in step Proxy server settings on the PC/PG Where a direct connection exists between the PC/PG and the Control Unit (see Fig. 3 1), a proxy server should not be set in the web browser. The method of changing proxy server settings varies depending on the web browser product and can differ from version to version of the same web browser product. Consult the Help function of the relevant browser product for instructions. To enter proxy server settings in Internet Explorer 7, for example, select Page 15 / 21 June 30, 2014 Unrestricted / Siemens AG 2014

LOG IN TO THE WEB SERVER Control Unit has not yet been parameterized If the Control Unit is still set to its factory settings and the web page shown in Fig. 3-9 is displayed, then you don't need to log in, i.e. you do not need to enter either a user name or a password and you can proceed immediately with step Page 16 / 21 June 30, 2014 Unrestricted / Siemens AG 2014

3.3.7 COMPLETE THE FIRMWARE UPDATE When the update process is complete, it might be necessary to restart the Control Unit manually (see Section 2.3.14 ) depending on the device versions of the components installed in the drive.

21 3.3.7 COMPLETE THE FIRMWARE UPDATE When the update process is complete, it might be necessary to restart the Control Unit manually (see Section ) depending on the device versions of the components installed in the drive. After you have restarted the Control Unit (if necessary), refresh the web page displayed for the drive in the web browser by pressing key F5. You can now check whether the firmware update was successful / unsuccessful by examining the version data displayed on the web server start page and by selecting tab Messages and Logs Diagbuffer (log in using your administrator ID): Fig. 3-15: Checking the success of the firmware update in the diag buffer Any active messages are displayed on tab Messages and Logs Alarms Drive where they can also be acknowledged. Messages which cannot be acknowledged must be processed accordingly RESTORE THE ORIGINAL PC/PG SETTINGS If you have changed the network settings (see Fig. 3-4) and / or the proxy server settings (see Fig. 3-8) on the PC/PG in order to update the firmware, you must now restore them to their original values.
