Do not proceed as follows:
1. Software update of the drive
2. Create a NEW STARTER project
3. Load into the PG
In this case, under certain circumstances, STARTER cannot assign the project to the correct
drive version. If the STARTER project is not available, generate a new project with the old
device version (load into the PG before the software update) and then proceed as normal.

Step 1: Backup the configuration
The drive parameter assignment is not lost while updating the software. Nevertheless, before
starting the software update, backup the drive configuration:
● Backup the parameter assignment on a memory card (see Chapter "Functions of the
memory card") and/or
● Backup the parameterization in a STARTER project (see Chapter "Commissioning using
the STARTER commissioning tool")
