Platform Replacement Via Xml Export/Import - Siemens SIMOTION D410 Commissioning Manual

Maintenance and service
6.3 Adapting a project (Upgrading the project / Replacing the SIMOTION controller)
The project remains consistent. The data is the same in the controller and in the project.
Diagnostic functions (status, trace, etc.) can be executed directly. The project does not have
to be loaded to the controller first.
Note
A project that was last edited with a higher SCOUT version cannot be opened by a SCOUT
with a lower version. However, the project with the more current SCOUT version can first be
converted to the required software version (command: "Project" > "Old Project Format" >
"Save in Old Project Format"). The project can then be opened with the lower SCOUT version.
However, debug information (e.g. for program status) is no longer available.
6.3.5

Platform replacement via XML export/import

Overview
A platform replacement is always required when an existing project is to be used for another
SIMOTION platform. The platform replacement is always performed via an XML export/import.
The following devices can be interchanged via a platform replacement:
● Replacement between SIMOTION C, P and D (e.g. C240 ⇒ D445‑2 DP/PN)
● Replacement between D410 and D4x5/D4x5‑2 (e.g. D410 ⇒ D445‑2 DP/PN)
● Replacement between SIMOTION D (SINAMICS S120 Integrated) ⇒ SIMOTION D
Platform replacement during project downgrades:
It is not possible to downgrade to a lower SINAMICS version. However, it is possible to transfer
project data by means of an XML export/import.
Preparations
Before the platform replacement can be performed, preliminary work may be necessary in the
existing project.
If a D4x5 is to be imported into a D410 then only the permitted quantity structure of the D410
may be configured in the D4x5. This applies for all components, e.g. not only an infeed, but
also the permissible power units.
A D4x5 with CU adapter and PM340 can be imported into a D410 when the CU adapter is
connected to port 0. Otherwise, the topology will be destroyed.
Generally, the success of an import always also depends on the specific configurations of the
drive units, and whether the configuration is available for the device into which the project is
to be imported. Also note any error messages that may occur.
