Downloading Firmware
Introduction
With the introduction of the PowerFlex 7000 Medium Voltage Drive, all drive
control functions are loaded on the Drive Processor Module (DPM) with
firmware via a serial connection on the Drive Processor Module data port J4. The
firmware is packaged into a single executable file (with the extension .exe).
This document describes how to download new or updated firmware to the drive
using the DPM data port. All firmware downloaded via this means is stored in
non-volatile Flash memory.
The latest firmware and the associated release notes are available on the Medium
Voltage intranet site, or can be obtained from Medium Voltage Product Support.
Overview
When the system is powered up, the drive executes the Application Code
contained in the on-board flash memory. If it does not have valid firmware, then
the entire system will drop into a download mode. In the download mode the
system is waiting to receive a firmware download via the serial data port J4 on the
DPM.
The system may also be placed into download mode from the Drive Terminal.
This can only be accomplished if you have obtained a minimum of
‘ADVANCED’ level access. Once that has been obtained, from the main screen
selecting UTILITY-TRANSFER-SYSTEM will place the drive into download
mode.
Ensure the parameters are saved to NVRAM, and saved to the Operator Interface
Terminal, and saved to any other external source such as the Flash Card,
DriveTools, or printed to a hardcopy.
