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 version is preferred, this must be installed manually

(e.g. selection of V4.1.5.3).

During platform replacement (XML Export/Import) , however, the required technology package

including the TP version and, if necessary, the product version must be selected manually

after the import.

When a SIMOTION CPU is inserted, the TP CAM (latest TP version and product version) is

preset per default.

Special displays in the "version" field:

● "select" means that no TP version has yet been selected; this status occurs if older projects

are upgraded for which the selection of a dedicated version is not yet supported. If the

project is loaded to the CPU without having previously made a selection, then the latest

available technology package is loaded automatically

● "---" means that no version can be determined (e.g. for the TP DCBlib or for older CPU

versions < V4.1). If no version can be determined, you must select "---".
