3. CHECKING THE SERVO AMPLIFIER SETTINGS Check the following settings of the servo amplifier to update the firmware.

IP address FTP account

3.1. IP address The IP address of the servo amplifier is used in Chapter 5 "UPDATING THE FIRMWARE". Check the IP address of the target servo amplifier. If the IP address needs to be set, refer to Chapter 6. Point

The IP address setting is not required for servo amplifiers used in a CC-Link IE TSN system. If the same IP address is used for another device in the same network, the firmware update may not be

possible. 3.1.1. Checking the IP address with MR Configurator2 Connect the servo amplifier and a personal computer and select "System Configuration" from "Diagnosis" in MR Configurator2. The IP address of the servo amplifier is displayed. Point

Some servo amplifier models and MR Configurator2 versions do not support the display of IP addresses. In such cases, check the IP address in the network basic parameters: [Pr. NPA01 IP address setting] and [Pr. NPA02 IP address]. For details on the parameters, refer to Chapter 6.

CC-Link IE TSN MR-J5 Firmware Update Reference Manual 7

3.2. FTP account The FTP account is used in Chapter 5 "UPDATING THE FIRMWARE". The following default account is provided as an FTP account for firmware updates.

Table 3.2-1: FTP account for firmware updates (default account) Item Value User name user Password user

Point

The FTP account can be changed. Refer to Chapter 7 if the FTP account needs to be set. Refer to Section 7.1 for prohibiting firmware updates performed by the default account.

3.3. Communication speed The servo amplifier communication speed can be checked with [Pr. NPA12 Communication speed] (network basic parameter). [Pr. NPA12] is set to "network automatic setting" from the factory, and the communication speed is shown below. Set [Pr. NPA12] as required.

Table 3.3-1: Parameter details (communication speed) Setting value Communication speed 00000001 100 Mbps 00000002 (initial state) Network automatic setting

Model Communication speed when "network automatic setting" is used MR-J5_-_A_ The communication speed is 1 Gbps or 100 Mbps depending on the

connection target. For the network automatic setting, a communication speed of 100 Mbps can be used with servo amplifiers with firmware version C0 or later.

MR-J5-_G_ MR-J5W_-_G_ MR-J5D_-_G_

Depending on the setting value of [Pr. PN13.0-3 Network protocol setting], the communication speed is either of the following: 0000h (CC-Link IE TSN) (initial value): 1 Gbps 0004h (CC-Link IE Field Network Basic): 100 Mbps

5. UPDATING THE FIRMWARE This chapter describes the procedure for updating the firmware of the servo amplifier. When updating the firmware of the servo amplifier, the CC-Link IE TSN Firmware Update Tool is used to transfer the firmware. After the firmware has been transferred, the firmware update starts when the power of the servo amplifier is cycled. After the firmware update is completed, confirm that the firmware of the servo amplifier has been updated.

5.1. Connecting the servo amplifier and the personal computer Connect the servo amplifier to the personal computer by using an Ethernet cable. For the servo amplifier, connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet cable connector listed below. Connect the servo amplifier to the personal computer directly via the Ethernet cable or through a switching hub.

Point

For the models compatible with the CC-Link IE TSN network, configure the network as listed below. Line connection Star connection Line/star mixed connection

5.2. Transferring the firmware Transfer the firmware to the servo amplifier by using the CC-Link IE TSN Firmware Update Tool. For details on the procedure, refer to "Firmware update procedure" in the CC-Link IE TSN Firmware Update Tool Reference Manual. When the transfer of the firmware is completed, "" is displayed in the result field. Point

The firmware update for the servo amplifier starts when the power of the servo amplifier is cycled after the firmware has been transferred. Therefore, when the firmware transfer is completed, "0 %" is displayed in the firmware update progress field.

firmware is being updated. "user" is set for the default account. FTP Password Set the password of the FTP account that is set for the servo amplifier whose

firmware is being updated. "user" is set for the default account.

CC-Link IE TSN MR-J5 Firmware Update Reference Manual 11

5.3. Firmware update After the firmware transfer is completed, cycle the power of the servo amplifier. The firmware update starts after the power is cycled. During the firmware update, the update status is displayed on the 7-segment LED. After the update is completed, the servo amplifier starts with the updated firmware. Point

When downgrading the firmware version of the servo amplifier, the functionality cannot be guaranteed. When the firmware version has been downgraded, be sure to reset the settings to the factory settings. "MR Mode Change" can be used to reset the servo amplifier to the factory settings. For the usage of MR Mode Change, refer to Help of MR Configurator2.

5.3.1. Display of 7-segment LED during firmware update During the firmware update, "Upd" is displayed in the last three digits of the 7-segment LED, and the dot at the right edge blinks.
