4. Because of the automatic follow-up configuration in the SINAMICS Integrated drive, you
must now execute "Load CPU / drive unit to PG".
5. Save the project.
Note
When upgrading SINAMICS drive units (e.g. SINAMICS Integrated) only the p parameters
(setting parameters) are loaded into the upgraded project. The r parameters (monitoring
parameters) are not loaded. The r parameters in the drive unit are derived or calculated
from an automatic subsequent parameterization and must therefore be uploaded to the
project. To do this, execute "Load CPU/drive unit to PG". If the upload is not performed,
this can lead to inconsistencies in the drive parameterization dialog boxes.

General information on SINAMICS firmware update
Requirements for firmware update
For a firmware update of the SINAMICS Integrated incl. connected CX32‑2, it is enough to
plug a CF card with new drive firmware into SIMOTION D4x5‑2.
To ensure that a firmware update of all connected SINAMICS components is performed (Line
and Motor Modules, TM, SMC, …), the CF card must additionally contain a project, incl.
configured drive component, and the drive components must be topologically correctly
connected.
Impermissible operating actions during firmware update
The following actions must be avoided while a firmware update is in progress because they
could cause the firmware update to be interrupted:
● Disconnection of the DRIVE-CLiQ cable to the CX32‑2
● Connection of an CX32‑2 to DRIVE-CLiQ
● POWER ON on D4x5‑2 or CX32‑2 Controller Extensions
● Operation of the RESET button on D4x5‑2 or CX32‑2 Controller Extensions
● Memory reset with the hardware mode switch
● Updates via the SIMOTION IT web server
● CPU download and memory reset via HW Config
If a firmware update is interrupted, it may be necessary switch the power off and then on the
power again, and repeat the firmware update.
The following operating actions are not possible during a firmware update:
● Going online to the SINAMICS
● Delete user data on card
● Project download
● Download CPU / drive unit to target device
