Use of the Change to Compatible Type function.
Only servo drives with identical hardware conditions (HW1 or HW2) and the same number
of channels (1- or 2-channel devices) can be updated or changed. A downgrade of the
servo drive to older revisions (e.g. AX5206-0000-0210 to AX5206-0000-0203) is not possi-
ble!
