Downloading Drive
Processor Firmware
All PowerFlex 7000 Medium Voltage drive control functions are loaded on the
Drive Processor Module (DPM) with firmware via a serial connection on the
Drive Processor Module data port J4. The firmware is packaged into a single
executable file (with the extension .exe).
This section describes how to download new or updated firmware to the drive
using the DPM data port. The drive stores downloaded firmware in non-volatile
Flash memory.
The latest firmware and the associated release notes are available on the Medium
Voltage intranet site, or can be obtained from Medium Voltage Product Support.
Overview
When you power up the system, the drive executes the Application Code
contained in the on-board flash memory. If it does not have valid firmware, then
the entire system shifts into a download mode to await a firmware download via
the serial data port J4 on the DPM.
You can also force the download mode from the drive terminal if you have
‘ADVANCED’ access privileges for the drive. If you have the relevant secure PIN
for that access, select UTILITY-TRANSFER-SYSTEM on the terminal to put
the drive into download mode.
Ensure you save the current drive parameters to NVRAM, to the Operator
Interface Terminal, and to any other external source such as the Flash Card,
DriveTools, or printed to a hardcopy.
