Customer required actions
Use the SICK AppManager tool (V1.4 or higher) to update the firmware in a device.
In the SICK AppManager, do the following to update the firmware:
Connect to the device.
Import the firmware package (*.spk file) to the right pane named “Packages” using the “Add Package”/+ button or drag-and-drop.
Select the firmware package, then press “Install” to start the firmware update.
At least 64 MB free space on the device flash memory must be available for the firmware update. The File system usage can be seen in at the bottom of the AppMonitor tab in SICK AppStudio. If enough space is not available on the device the installation will fail.
Hardware & software compatibility
The firmware is valid for both, the SIM2000, article number: 1081902 and the SIM2500, article number: 1092673.
Known limitations & issues
Limited use of two IO-Link devices: Operation of > 2 IO-Link devices results in 'response timeouts' in the communication with the IO FPGA
Wrong Power supply indication via LED "POWER IN2": While booting, both power lines are connected and both LEDs ("POWER IN1" and "POWER IN2") show that there is 24V connected. After booting finished, only LED "POWER IN1" shows that there is 24V supplied to it
Error while image decoding: Error messages "WARNING: AppEngine.Fpga.Dma.ChannelGroupDriver" or "WARNING: AppEngine.Fpga.Dma: App 'CoProc_SIM2500'" when decoding images probably due to parallel decoding
Visionary-S CX does not run on SIM2x00: Connection to Visionary-S CX cannot not be established
No green LED for 2.5 Gbit/s: No Link LED on ETH1 - ETH4 for 2.5 Gbit/s (the LEDs should be green, which is the case if you use 1 Gbit/s)
