1.7 Licensing
SIMOTION D410-2
Manual, 02/2012

In addition to the "serial number", CompactFlash cards also have a "HW serial number".
If licenses are purchased for licensed functions, a "license key" is generated from the HW
serial number of the CompactFlash card and the serial number of the purchased licenses;
such licenses are valid only for the associated CompactFlash card.
The data required for the licensing can be read by reader unit via the bar codes on the
license certificates (Certificate of License "CoL") and the 2D code on the CompactFlash card
in order, for example, to automate the licensing process.

Licensing
SIMOTION D410-2 licensing
SIMOTION D410-2 is a compact control unit predestined for single-axis applications.
SIMOTION D410-2 has an integrated drive control for either a servo, a vector or a V/f axis.
One real axis can be used without requiring a license for a SIMOTION D410-2. Speed-
controlled axes and virtual axes never require a license.
SIMOTION D410-2 can be extended with additional SINAMICS S110/S120 control units (e.g.
CU305) and so can also be used for smaller multi-axis applications (e.g. with 2 - 3 axes).
These additional axes must be licensed with the single-axis licenses or the "D410-2
MultiAxes Package". See chapter CompactFlash card (Page 20).
Note
If you use more than one real axis with SIMOTION D410-2, you must license these
additional axes. The axis license with the highest functionality is covered by the inclusive
license (a real axis). The functionality has the following granularity: CAM > GEAR > POS.
Example:
You use two real axes: 1 POS, 1 CAM.
Because the CAM license has a higher value, and so inclusive, you only need to purchase a
POS license.
Licenses are required for runtime functions such as SIMOTION IT Virtual Machine. These
licenses can be pre-installed on a CompactFlash card (CF card) or ordered separately.
