The SIMOTION Kernel (SIMOTION D4x5‑2 firmware) and the software used to control the
drives (SINAMICS firmware) are contained on the CF card.
The CF card is used for
●
Backing up the technology packages and user data (programs, configuration data,
parameter assignments).
● Update (e.g. SIMOTION firmware update).
The licenses for the technology functions are linked to the serial number of the CF card. This
means the CF card can be inserted in a different SIMOTION D without having to change the
licenses.
The CF card is supplied in a bootable format with the latest SIMOTION Kernel and drive
software. Please note that a CF card with a D4x5 kernel/drive software cannot run on a D4x5‑2.
The same applies for the reverse situation.
If an error occurs, all LEDs flash yellow with 2 Hz. An entry is also made in the diagnostic buffer
and the D4x5‑2 does not start.
Licenses purchased for SIMOTION D can be used for both the D4x5 and D4x5‑2.
NOTICE
Damage to the CompactFlash card from electrical fields or electrostatic discharge
The CompactFlash card is an ESD-sensitive component.
De-energize the SIMOTION D4x5‑2 device before inserting or removing the CompactFlash
card. The SIMOTION D4x5‑2 is in a de-energized state when all the LEDs are off.
Comply with the ESD rules.
