2.10 Learn devices

2.10 Learn devices
Description
Using a software update, the "learning devices" function amends an existing STARTER
(from version V4.2) with information about later drive firmware versions.
The update is implemented with a SINAMICS Support Package (SSP) from STARTER
version 4.2. Here, equipment descriptions have been added to the STARTER commissioning
tool, without having to reinstall the tool or change the code and without the drive being
physically available.
A SINAMICS Support Package must be installed if SINAMICS versions are to be supported
by the STARTER commissioning tool that are not included in STARTER version 4.2. You
can download SINAMICS Support Packages on the Internet from the eSupport and Product
Support pages.
The existence of new SSPs in Product Support will be announced when a new SINAMICS
version is released for delivery.
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)
