Firmware Requirements
Using the drive-integrated PLC (Rexroth IndraMotion MLD) requires the base
package of the firmware and a functional firmware package (optional expan‐
sion package). The functional firmware package must be enabled / licensed

Optional Expansion Package
"IndraMotion MLD"
The following designs of the optional expansion package "IndraMotion MLD"
are available:
●
The "ML" design allows:
–
Loading and using self-contained PLC programs (technology func‐
tions) by Rexroth (see "Technology Functions")
–
Freely programming Rexroth IndraMotion MLD-S / MLD-M using
the function block libraries made available by Rexroth and suppor‐
ted by "IndraMotion MLD" (see "Library Description IndraMotion
MLD (2G)")
●
The "MA" design allows using a freely programmable "Advanced" PLC
for complex tasks.
The technology functions can be loaded via IndraWorks (see also
MLD Application Manual: "Using Technology Functions").
Examples of technology functions: Following-on cutting devices,
pick&place, process controller (register controller, winding compu‐
tation, …), preventive maintenance, …

Delivery and Licensing of the PLC
When you order the firmware base package plus the functional firmware
package, "IndraMotion MLD" is already enabled at the factory. If you order
the functional firmware package subsequently, this requires so-called addi‐
tional licensing; i.e., the user must subsequently enable or license the PLC
functionality.
If the PLC has not been enabled, the drive refuses to communi‐
cate with the PLC programming system. A message will be gen‐
erated. Furthermore, please keep in mind that the guarantee for
the drive expires, if you use the PLC without licensing!
