Corrective measure
To solve the problem, the following steps are required:
●
Check the drive firmware (S-0-0030).
●
Install IndraWorks package (see
"Device Update with IndraWorks" on
●
Afterwards, the project can be loaded to the drive.

Firmware version upgrade
General
Firmware version upgrade
When firmware in a drive controller is to be replaced by a new firmware ver‐
sion, this is called a firmware version upgrade (e.g., FWA-INDRV*-
MPB-17V12-D5 is replaced by FWA-INDRV*-MPB-18V06-D5).
The general procedure for carrying out a firmware version upgrade is ex‐
plained in the "Firmware release notes" and in the functional description for
the firmware titled "Changing firmware".
The paragraphs below only describe the MLD-specific behavior
and procedure.
Use and content of firmware ver‐
sion notes.
The "Firmware version notes" provide information on firmware versions and
their compatibility, as well as differences compared to the previous version.
The changes relevant to Rexroth IndraMotion MLD are located in the sub‐
chapters "Application and usage information" > "Incompatible new functions
and function changes" > "Optional device functions", or "Application and
usage information" > "Compatible new functions and function changes" >
"Optional device functions" in the firmware version notes for each firmware
version.
Compatibility between versions
A firmware version upgrade contains a new IndraWorks package
and new or possibly incompatible function blocks. For this reason,
an existing project must be recompiled before the download. In
some cases, it is necessary to adjust the PLC project.
Usage information
Note the following when changing the firmware:
●
Any new firmware version or different characteristic always includes a
new
package
(MLD-2G)
or
target
(MLD-1G)
(example:
MPH05→MPH07).
●
Starting with the general sales, the packages of a firmware version are
downward compatible so that, for example, a package for MPx18V12
projects is valid for MPx18V10 projects, too. This does not necessarily
apply to the prototype status of a firmware.
●
It might be necessary to install several packages if projects for different
firmware versions are to be created.
Device Update with IndraWorks
For MLD-2G there are different releases of the firmware and of the devices
with their libraries.
The latest version of the device can normally be operated with a firmware; it
is not necessary to make any settings.
When, during the download of the PLC program, IndraWorks displays an
error message pointing to a device that is out of date, the device version
must be changed; if necessary, a device version (IW package) must be sub‐
sequently installed.
