Note
When a version is changed, you must use the "Back up variables" function to back up
data saved using _saveUnitDataSet or _exportUnitDataSet in a way that is not
dependent on the version. You then have the option of restoring them using "Restore
variables".
When performing an upgrade with a firmware version that is ≥ V4.1, these two
functions are only required for backing up and restoring unit data sets that have been
created using _saveUnitDataSet.
Retain and unit data (saved with _exportUnitDataSet) remain valid even after a
version upgrade.
You require an online connection between the programming device/PC and
SIMOTION D410 for this purpose. Select the "Download project to target system"
command to download the project to SIMOTION D410. The connection to the SINAMICS
