Compatibility with MV400
The functions, communication protocols and configurations are largely compatible with the
devices of the SIMATIC MV400 series. The device configurations for these devices can be
imported into the readers of the SIMATIC MV500, enabling a seamless transition from
SIMATIC MV400 to MV500.
Note that after importing an MV400 device configuration, the program must be saved again.
