Checking the firmware version

Overview
You can only establish an online connection between the PG/PC and drive device if the PG/PC and
the drive device are using the same firmware version. Different firmware versions generally
occur in the following cases:
• The drive device firmware was in the process of being updated. However, the firmware saved
in the Startdrive project is older.
• A new Startdrive version was installed. When creating a new project, the latest firmware
version was automatically set. However, your drive device is still using an older version.
