Replacing DRIVE-CLiQ components 

Replacing components 

DRIVE-CLiQ components support hot-plugging, that is, replacement or re-insertion while the 

system is in on or off state.  

Automatic upgrading/downgrading 

As of SINAMICS firmware version 2.5, the DRIVE-CLiQ components are automatically 

upgraded or downgraded to the version of the component firmware on the CF card. 

Components that cannot be upgrade or downgraded to the component firmware version on 

the CF card retain their firmware version. This is the case, for example, when a downgrade 

should be inhibited (e.g. "older firmware" is not supported by the "newer hardware"). The 

system ensures that the resulting combination possibilities of firmware versions are 

permitted. 
An upgrade/downgrade operation in progress is indicated on the components by a 0.5 Hz 

red-green flashing LED and on SIMOTION D410 by a 0.5 Hz yellow-flashing RDY LED. 
A successfully completed firmware upgrade/downgrade is indicated on the components by 

flashing at a frequency of 2 Hz and on the SIMOTION D410 by the yellow flashing of the 

RDY LED at 2 Hz. After the upgrade/downgrade is completed, the power must be cycled off 

and back on (POWER OFF/ON). The upgrade/downgrade function can be deactivated using 

the p7826 parameter in the expert list.
