3.
Open the file explorer on the PC.
4.
Navigate to the IOP-2 (removable media). Note: Back up data (e.g., readme, parameter
records) that you will need later on the connected PC.
5.
Format the IOP-2 (do not use quick formatting). Set the size of the allocation units to 2048
bytes (FAT Standard).
6.
Go to the Service and Support site at the link shown below.
7.
Download the zip file with the current firmware of the IOP-2 into a folder on the PC and
unpack it into a separate directory.
8.
Copy the downloaded files from the PC directory directly into the IOP-2 folder (the copying
process takes approximate 6 minutes).
9.
When the copying has been completed, wait approximate 5 seconds before disconnecting
the IOP-2 from the USB port. The new firmware is now available on the IOP-2 and you can
now connect the IOP-2 to a SINAMICS G inverter.
10.When you turn on the SINAMICS G inverter, the IOP-2 will automatically upgrade.
Note
English language is mandatory
The English language file is essential to the correct functioning of the IOP-2 and therefore
cannot be deleted.
Only IOP-2 firmware update packages obtained through the Siemens Service and Support
website at the following link should be used:
