Setting the Motor Firmware Version
NOTE:
In addition to the software information in this section, there is context-
sensitive help available within the SMI software interface, which is accessed by
pressing the F1 key or selecting Help from the SMI software main menu.
When programming the SmartMotor, it is important that the SMI software compiler's
firmware version setting matches the firmware version of the connected SmartMotor.
CAUTION:
The compiler's firmware version must match the firmware version
of the connected motor. If it does not match, the SMI software may not catch
syntax errors and may download incompatible code to the SmartMotor.
This procedure assumes that:
l
The SmartMotor is connected to the computer. For details, see Connecting the System
in the
SmartMotor Installation & Startup Guide
for your motor.
l
The SmartMotor is connected to a power source. (Certain models of SmartMotors
require separate control and drive power.) For details, see Understanding the Power
Requirements in the
SmartMotor Installation & Startup Guide
for your motor.
l
The SMI software has been installed and is running on the computer. For details, see
Installing the SMI Software in the
SmartMotor Installation & Startup Guide
for your
motor.
