Siemens SINAMICS S120 Commissioning Manual page 145

SSP (SINAMICS Support Package)
An SSP contains only description files of the devices and drive objects. By installing an SSP,
new drive objects and devices can be added to an existing STARTER installation, without
changing its program code.
After installation, all the functions of the new SINAMICS version can be configured with the
expert list. All screens and wizards are also available for all the functions compatible with the
previous version.
SSP content:
● New drive objects
● New device versions
● New and changed parameters in the expert list
● New and changed faults, alarms and messages
● New and changed sequence parameterizations
● Expansions of the component catalog (new motors, encoders, DRIVE-CLiQ components)
● Expansion of the configuration catalog (SD)
● Changed online help files (parameter help, function diagrams)
Installation
All SSPs released for a STARTER version may be installed in any order.
The installed SINAMICS Support Packages are displayed in the Info dialog box of
STARTER.
If a new STARTER version has been created and delivered, this STARTER contains all
SSPs released up until the present time, or is compatible with them.
Compatible SSPs can also be installed a multiple number of times if repairs are necessary,
without functional changes.
STARTER should not be running during SSP installation. The installation program should be
started and run through. Only after the installation has been finished and STARTER has
been called up again, can you now configure the newly installed SINAMICS versions offline
and operate them online (via "Accessible nodes" for example).
