The following devices can be interchanged via a platform replacement:
●
Replacement between SIMOTION C, P and D (e.g. C240 ⇒ D445‑2 DP/PN)
● Replacement between D410/D410-2 and D4x5/D4x5‑2 (e.g. D410‑2 DP/PN ⇒ D445‑2 DP/
PN)
● Replacement between SIMOTION D (SINAMICS S120 Integrated) ⇒ SIMOTION D
(SINAMICS SM150 Integrated)
Platform replacement during project downgrades:
It is not possible to downgrade to a lower SINAMICS version. However, it is possible to transfer
project data by means of an XML export/import.
Preparations
Before the platform replacement can be performed, preliminary work may be necessary in the
existing project.
If a SIMOTION D4x5-2 is to be imported into a SIMOTION D410-2, then only the permitted
quantity structure of the D410-2 may be configured in the D4x5-2. This applies for all
components, e.g. not only an infeed, but also the permissible power units.
A SIMOTION D4x5-2 with CU adapter and Power Module in blocksize format can be imported
into a SIMOTION D410-2 when the CU adapter is connected to port 0. Otherwise, the topology
will be destroyed.
Generally, the success of an import always also depends on the specific configurations of the
drive units, and whether the configuration is possible for the device to which the import is to
be performed. Also note any error messages that may occur.
Procedure
Proceed as follows:
1. In the project navigator of SIMOTION SCOUT, right-click the SIMOTION controller that is
to be replaced.
Select "Expert" > "Save project and export object" in the context menu.
"Save project and export object" exports selected data of the selected object in XML format.
This data export can then be reimported into other projects. The entire project is not
exported, only the data of the selected object (e.g. only the D410‑2 or only the SINAMICS
Integrated).
2. Specify the desired path and start the XML export.
3. When the export has been performed error-free, delete the device from the project and
confirm the prompt.
4. Insert the desired platform as new device in the project navigator of SIMOTION SCOUT.
With the selection of the device, you also define the SIMOTION version, and with a
SIMOTION D, also the SINAMICS version.
5. Import the data of the original platform into the new device. To do this, right-click the new
device and select "Expert" > "Import object" in the context menu.
6. Select the location where the XML export data is to be stored and start the import. Confirm
the prompt to continue with the import.
