Firmware Upgrades
From time to time, Danaher Motion Kollmorgen adds features to its products
that expand their overall capabilities. Features added to the SERVOSTAR can
be easily implemented at the customer’s site. This is accomplished by
downloading new firmware via the drive’s serial port directly from a host
computer.
The customer ordering a firmware upgrade receives a file labeled
“UPGRADE.EXE”. Click on this file and a Windows program will prompt you
to choose an unzipping method, baud rate, and communications port. If the baud
rate and communications port selection is incorrect or the drive is set up for
MultiDrop communications, then a DOS screen will pop up indicating an error
has occurred. Simply close the window and select another baud rate and/or
communications port.
NOTICE:
Be sure to check the "Type" specifier on your unit. If your unit has the
following label:
It requires firmware version 4.0.0 or higher. Other types will work with all
firmware versions.
Firmware version 4.0.0 and higher is not compatible with the older
versions of IGNITE (firmware loading software). Attempting to
load incompatible firmware will result in the IGNITE program
generating an error.
To obtain the latest firmware version or receive additional help, contact Danaher
Motion Customer Support (www.danahermotion.com).
