This page describes how to update a summit CORE device such as EVE-CORE and CAP-CORE through the commissioning Kit without Motionlab3
Set the commissioning kit in FTP bootloader Mode
-
Look for the register 0x06DE - Force boot mode and write a 0x424F4F54 ("BOOT" in ASCII).
An external tool with an EtherCAT master is required such as TwinCAT.
-
The drive will reboot and enter in FTP bootloader.
This FTP bootloader will manage the summit CORE boot sequence automatically
Check commissioning kit status - FTP bootloader LEDs
Both on-board status LEDs (green and red) will blink simultaneously at a frequency of 1 Hz once the drive enters FTP bootloader mode.
How to update Summit CORE drive through FTP
Follow the next steps to update the device once in FTP bootloader.
-
Go to the folder where the .mfu file is located.
-
Open cmd terminal on this folder.
-
Make sure that the ethernet cable is connected.
-
Make sure that the ethernet network IP is 192.168.2.1 (or in the network 255.255.255.0).
The default IP address of a summit drive in "FTP mode" is 192.168.2.22.
Use the proper network parameters if you are not using the default IP.
-
Make sure that the firewall is not blocking the connection.
-
Write the next command on the cmd:
ftp 192.168.2.22 -
The next message should appear:
-
For .mfu files -> User: Moco -> Password: Ingenia
-
Next message should be seen:
-
Use the next command to load the file:
put file_name.mfu -
If the transmission starts following messages will be seen:
200 Ok 150 OkIf those messages don't appear, it may be needed to disable the network firewall for public networks.
-
Wait until the transmission finished appears (it can take several seconds):
226 File transfer completed -
Wait until the update is finished (wait until the LED red turns off). This can take more than a minute.
-
Power cycle the boards
-
The firmware has been updated.
Recovering from a failed firmware update using the Commissioning Kit
-
Turn off the system (drive and Com-Kit) and tie both BOOT pins on the Com-Kit to GND. Also tie SYNC1 Pin on the drive to GND.
-
Power on the system (both the Com-Kit and the drive) and proceed with the standard Summit CORE firmware update procedure via FTP
-
Power cycle the system again (drive and Com-Kit). The ETH LEDs on the Com-kit should stop blinking indicating a successful firmware install and the drive being in the application state.
