Hello community,
Is it possible to update code on safety controller remotely, e.g. via device manager, DOCKER or another way?
Reason for asking, is when a multiple number of machines are located around the world. It is then possible to update app, PLC and motion code etc with the device manager or using a service like DOCKER. It would then be nice to also remotely update the safety controller code instead of travelling and being onsite to do this.

A firmware update of the ctrlX SAFETY in the field remote is not possible. But started from FW 1.0.1.45, a SAFEX-C.1x can be updated via µSDcard. To update to 1.0.1.45 from former versions please contact your responsible Bosch Rexroth technician for further steps.
For HW exchange of a SAFEX-C.1x in the field, the safety program can be transferred to a new SAFEX-C.1x with µSDcard very easy.
After exchange of a safety control the machine has to be checked of all safety functions and has to be reported from the “service personal” which changed the SAFEX.-C.1x.
Also an update of the safety program via EoE and remote is possible but changing the safety program leads to the needof recertification mentioned above.
