Upgrading technology packages

Overview
The SIMOTION technology packages (e.g. TP CAM, DCBlib) are available in various versions.
You can only use the functions of the technology objects selected if the technology objects
are available in the target system. You can select the technology packages and their version
for each SIMOTION device. Each version of SIMOTION SCOUT has a kernel (FW version)
for the SIMOTION CPU and an appropriate technology package.
TPs during upgrades
Device replacement (in HW Config), platform replacement (XML export/import), or even
upgrades may cause versions of SIMOTION technology packages (TPs), which are assigned
to individual technology objects (TOs), to change.
● The TP version may change if the main version changes.
The TP version depends on the relevant main version in all cases; it may, however, remain
unchanged through a number of main versions.
● If service packs and hotfixes are installed, there may even be a selection of TP product
versions available for the same TP version.
During device replacement (in HW Config) the TP version is automatically updated. If the TP
version is changed and more than one version of the new TP version is available, the latest
version is automatically installed. If another product version is preferred, this must be set
manually (e.g. selection of V4.1.5.3).
During platform replacement (XML Export/Import) , however, the required technology package
including the TP version and, if necessary, the product version must be selected manually
after the import.
When a SIMOTION CPU is inserted, the TP CAM (latest TP version and product version) is
preset by default.
