Appendix
C
Upgrading the Kinetix 6000M System Firmware
This appendix provides procedures for upgrading firmware for the
Kinetix 6000M integrated drive-motor (IDM) units and IDM power interface
modules (IPIM).
Upgrading firmware for the Kinetix 6000M system is done by using
ControlFLASH software. The procedure for upgrading the IDM units uses the
sercos interface, similar to axis modules. However, upgrading firmware on the
IPIM module is accomplished over the EtherNet/IP network.

Network path to the targeted IPIM module and IDM unit.
IMPORTANT Control power must be present prior to upgrading your IPIM module or IDM
units.
ATTENTION: To avoid personal injury or damage to equipment during the
firmware upgrade due to unpredictable motor activity, do not apply 3-phase AC
or common-bus DC input power to the IAM module.
