SFA-5000 • SFA-10000 EtherCAT
5.6 EEProm upgrade
WARNING
The EEProm upgrade process has to be accomplished by skilled and competent
personnel. If the upgrade is not performed according to the instructions
provided or a wrong or incompatible EEProm program is installed then the unit
may not be updated correctly, in some cases preventing the unit from working.
WARNING
The XML file version, the firmware version and the EEProm version must always
comply. For example: if the firmware version is H02_S06 (Hardware version: 2;
Software version: 6), it is mandatory that the EEProm version is S6, therefore
you must then install the XML file version V6.
WARNING
It is mandatory that in an EtherCAT network all devices are provided with the
same version of the firmware, EEProm and XML file. So when you need to
replace an old encoder installed in your network, then you must either upgrade
all the encoders in the network to the last version compatible with the new
encoder; or you must downgrade the new encoder to the older version
compatible with the encoders already installed in the network.
