8. Insert the prepared micro memory card into the C230-2.
9. Switch on the power supply for the C230-2.
The C230-2 compares the version of the SIMOTION Kernel on the micro memory card with
that on the C230-2 and automatically carries out an update.
– First, the version of the SIMOTION Kernel stored in the C230-2 is deleted. The "RUN",
"STOP" and "BUS2F" LEDs flash.
– Then the new version of the SIMOTION Kernel is transferred from the micro memory
card to the C230-2. During the data transfer, the "SF", "RUN", "STOPU", "STOP",
"BUS1F" and "BUS2F" LEDs illuminate in sequence.
Note: The C230-2 must not be switched off during this phase.
– After completing the SIMOTION Kernel update, the C230-2 performs a restart and goes
into the STOP mode.
The C230-2 can then be operated with the new SIMOTION Kernel.
Note
Following an update, if problems occur during restart, the "SF" LED will illuminate or the
"STOPU", "STOP", "BUS1F", and "BUS2F" LEDs will flicker. This means that the update was
not completed correctly.
To remedy this error, proceed as follows:
● Power OFF/ON
● Check whether the restart is being performed correctly
If the error occurs again, repeat the update or replace the module.
9.1.2 Kernel update for SIMOTION C240 / C240 PN
The C240 / C240 PN does not contain any firmware.
The Micro Memory Card of the C240 / C240 PN always contains the latest version of the
SIMOTION Kernel on delivery. The user can install newer or older versions via an update.
The corresponding SIMOTION Kernel version is included on the respective SIMOTION
SCOUT Add-On CD-ROM. (Proceed in the same way with a SIMOTION SCOUT DVD)
Note:
The SIMOTION Kernel and the technology packages must always have the same software
version.
You can use a PG/PC with the appropriate Micro Memory Card adapter to copy the SIMOTION
Kernel to the Micro Memory Card.
Proceed as follows:
1. Connect the SD card / MMC adapter to your PG/PC and insert the Micro Memory Card in
the slot of the adapter.
2. Insert the CD ROM containing the SIMOTION Kernel in the CD drive of your PG/PC.
