8.1.1.3 Update the STARTER project

device in the project navigator and select "Target device" → "Device version…". Select the
new device version and confirm with "Change version". The project is converted to the new
device version.
Note
STARTER does not support a "downgrade" of the firmware version (e.g. V1.3 to V1.2).
8.1.1.4 Load to the target system - copy RAM to ROM
Load the project into the SINAMICS DCP (load to the target system) and permanently save
the parameter assignment (carry out a "Copy RAM to ROM").
