4.10 Firmware update
The latest firmware versions are to be found in the service area at www.vipa.com. Load
the Px000314.pkg file.
CAUTION!
–
When installing a new firmware you have to be extremely careful.
Under certain circumstances you may destroy the slave station, for
example if the voltage supply is interrupted during transfer or if the
firmware file is defective. In this case, please call the VIPA Hotline!
–
Please regard that the version of the update firmware has to be dif-
ferent from the existing firmware otherwise no update is executed.
n
There is an Ethernet respectively remote connection between the PC and the VIPA
EtherCAT slave station, where a firmware update is to be established.
1.
Make a connection from the VIPA Slave 053-1EC01 to the EtherCAT configuration
tool.
2.
Put the slave in state Bootstrap.
Refer to possible system properties (when using the EtherCAT
Manager, the master must be in the state Init).
3.
Select file Px000314.pkg for download via FoE.
4.
Enter the following FoE parameters:
Filename: Px000314
Password (hex): 0x0000000
Timeout (ms): 100000 (if available in the configuration tool)
5.
Download the package to your slave.
–
After the package is completely transferred to the slave, the
firmware update starts (recognizable by the alternately flashing
SF and MT LEDs).
–
During this process, the slave must never be disconnected from
the power supply.
6.
After the firmware update has been carried out by the slave (SF and MT LEDs stop
flashing), a PowerCycle must be performed on the slave.
ð
With this operation the new firmware file is taken.
4.11 Replace EtherCAT slave 053-1EC00 with 053-1EC01
It is not possible to copy modules and their properties / configuration from
EtherCAT Slave 053-1EC00 to EtherCAT Slave 053-1EC01 since the
EtherCAT slaves come from different ESI files.
