188 Upgrading Firmware
Selecting Software Tools to
Upgrade the Kinetix 2000
Drive Firmware In this section you have a choice of software tools to use when upgrading drive
firmware. Either Drive Explorer or Drive Executive may be used to setup the
Kinetix 2000 axes to be flashed. Hyperterminal is used to flash the drive
selected through Drive Explorer or Drive Executive.
Drive Executive allows you to create a file, and to reuse that file. This is a
important difference between Drive Executive and DriveExplorer., as file
reuse, rather than creation, proves useful when reviewing, troubleshooting, or
evaluating files.
Using Drive Explorer to Setup the Kinetix 2000 Drives to Flash
Follow these steps to use Drive Explorer v5.02. to identify the Kinetix 2000
axes to be flashed.
1. Connect the 1203-SSS serial cable between the appropriate COM port
on your personal computer and the serial communication port on the
Anacanda.
2. Connect the 1203-SSS SCANport cable between the SCANport on the
Anacanda and the DPI connector on the top of the IAM.
The drive sources power to the 1203-SSS communication device when
Control power is applied to the drive.
3. Observe the LED indicator to verify that the 1203-SSS has power.
4. Verify RSLinx software is closed, as it may conflict with DriveExplorer.
ATTENTION
To avoid personal injury or damage to equipment during the firmware
upgrade, do not apply main ac (three-phase or single-phase) or
common bus dc input power to the drive. This prevents unpredictable
motor activity from occurring.
Only single-phase control power should be applied to the drive when
upgrading the firmware.
