8.1 SIMOTION kernel update
SIMOTION C
160
Operating Instructions, 02/2012
8.
Insert the prepared micro memory card into the C230-2.
9.
Switch on the power supply for the C230-2.
The C230-2 compares the version of the SIMOTION Kernel on the micro memory card
with that on the C230-2 and automatically carries out an update.
– First, the version of the SIMOTION Kernel stored in the C230-2 is deleted. The "RUN",
"STOP" and "BUS2F" LEDs flash.
– Then the new version of the SIMOTION Kernel is transferred from the micro memory
card to the C230-2. During the data transfer, the "SF", "RUN", "STOPU", "STOP",
"BUS1F" and "BUS2F" LEDs illuminate in sequence.
Note: The C230-2 must not be switched off during this phase.
– After completing the SIMOTION Kernel update, the C230-2 performs a restart and
goes into the STOP mode.
The C230-2 can then be operated with the new SIMOTION Kernel.
Note
Following an update, if problems occur during restart, the "SF" LED will illuminate or the
"STOPU", "STOP", "BUS1F", and "BUS2F" LEDs will flicker. This means that the update was
not completed correctly.
To remedy this error, proceed as follows:
Power OFF/ON
Check whether the restart is being performed correctly
If the error occurs again, repeat the update or replace the module.
