Licensing - Siemens SIMOTION Equipment Manual

In addition to the "serial number", CF cards also have a "hardware serial number".
If licenses are purchased for licensed functions, a "license key" is generated from the hardware
serial number of the CF card and the serial number of the purchased licenses; such licenses are
valid only for the associated CF card.
The data required for the licensing can be read by a reader unit via the bar codes on the license
certificates (Certificate of License "CoL") and the 2D code on the CF card in order, for example,
to automate the licensing process.

SIMOTION D410-2 licensing
SIMOTION D410-2 is a compact Control Unit predestined for single-axis applications. SIMOTION
D410-2 has an integrated drive control for either a servo, a vector or a V/f axis. One real axis can
be used without requiring a license for a SIMOTION D410-2. Speed-controlled axes and virtual
axes never require a license.
SIMOTION D410-2 can be extended with additional SINAMICS S110/S120 Control Units (e.g.
CU305) and so can also be used for smaller multi-axis applications (e.g. with 2 - 3 axes). These
additional axes must be licensed with the single-axis licenses or the "D410‑2 MultiAxes
Package". See Section CompactFlash card (Page 33).
The POS single-axis license is available if a POS axis has to be licensed; with GEAR/CAM or more
than one POS license, it is better to use the D410‑2 MultiAxes Package.
Note
If you use more than one real axis with SIMOTION D410-2, you must license these additional
axes. The axis license with the highest functionality is covered by the inclusive license (a real
axis). The functionality has the following granularity: CAM > GEAR > POS.
Example:
You use two real axes: 1 POS, 1 CAM.
Because the CAM license has a higher value, and so inclusive, you only need to purchase one POS
license.
Licenses are required for runtime functions such as SIMOTION IT Virtual Machine. These licenses
can be pre-installed on a CompactFlash card (CF card) or ordered separately.
