Short Description

Description

The command FLASH is used to transfer firmware and parameters between the drive and an external flash-card.

The external flash-card is used as an external memory for S600-firmware and also als for drive-parameter. This tool can be used to update the firmware without an additional hardware (computer, ...). THe upload/download-commandos can be set by the ASCII-command FLASH or by using the keys S1/S2 at the flash -card.

The FLASH-command options:

FLASH=0 Output of information text with version number of the save firware on the flash card. The second line includes the actual drive firmware version.

FLASH=1 Saves all drive-data into the flash-card (UPLOAD). The actual firmware-version, drive-parameter, data bank, PLC-programm, cam profiles and flash-motion tasks are saved into the flash-card. The command is activated also,if the key S1 is pressed. The drive display-segment shows an ‚u‘during the upload process. (UPLOAD). The procedure ends with an automatic reset of the drive.

FLASH=2 Saves all drive-data into the flash-card (DOWNLOAD).The actual firmware-version, drive-parameter, data bank, PLC-programm, cam profiles and flash-motion tasks are saved into the flash-card. The command is activated also,if the key S2 is pressed. The drive display-segment shows an ‚u‘during the upload process. (DOWNLOAD). The procedure ends with an automatic reset of the drive.

FLASH=3 Erase the exteral flash-card.

FLASH=4 Load parameter-data into the drive.Only data from the serial EEPROM (parameter-memory) are transmitted.


Attention !!
The FLASH-command has to be used only by disabled output stage and switched of main voltage. During this process the 24V DC Link has not to be switched off. If you ignore this you may erase data.

Drives without a firmware will start the monitor programm automatic. The flash-card can be used with monitor-pograms >= version 7.2 implementiert.
