8.3 Update software (communication board)
When the communication board software is updated
by the manufacturer, it can be updated on-site. In the
process, the software and the user interface (UI) of the
communication board are brought completely up-to-
date. If an update is available, you will find this on the
manufacturer's website in the download area under
Service.
Procedure
1.
Download the software update for the communica-
tion board from the manufacturer's website.
2.
Go to the folder with the downloaded ZIP file.
3.
Extract the ZIP file.
P
The files are extracted into a separate folder. In this
folder you will find the update and important addi-
tional information on the current software update.
4.
If the inverter is not yet connected with a PC via LAN,
connect this with the inverter now using a LAN cable.
5.
Start the update by double-clicking on the *.exe file
and follow the instructions of the programme on the
PC.
P
The update may take up to 10 minutes. Following the
update, the message "Update successful" appears
on the display of the inverter.

INFORMATION
The update results in the deletion
of the inverter log data. It is there-
fore advisable to back this up in
advance.
