Upgrading Technology Packages - Siemens SIMOTION D4x5-2 Commissioning And Hardware Installation Manual

Service and maintenance
8.3 Adapting a project (Upgrading the project / Replacing the SIMOTION controller)
5. Accept the changes made to the hardware configuration with "Station" > "Save and
compile".
6. Close HW Config.
Note
During the module replacement, the following actions are performed automatically by the
engineering system (if required):
● Update of the technology packages (TPs)
● Automatic upgrade of the SINAMICS Integrated
● Automatic upgrade of all connected CX32-2
The updated data is transferred to the project and the entire project saved.
If the module hardware changes (e.g. a D445‑2 DP/PN is replaced with a D455‑2 DP/PN),
proceed as described in Section Removal and replacement of the SIMOTION D4x5-2
(Page 342).
8.3.7

Upgrading technology packages

Overview
The SIMOTION technology packages (e.g. TP CAM, TP PATH, 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 when the main version is changed.
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).
With a platform replacement (XML export/import), the required technology package along with
the TP version and, if necessary, the product version have to be selected manually after the
import.
