Migration of SIMOTION D4x5 to SIMOTION D4x5-2
7.22.1
Changeover from SIMOTION D4x5 to SIMOTION D4x5-2
A SIMOTION D4x5‑2/CX32‑2 not only has a different structure, but also a different functionality
to a SIMOTION D4x5/CX32.
This has effects that must be taken into account during a changeover.
Change from D4x5 to D4x5‑2 (upgrade)
The change from D4x5 to D4x5‑2 is performed via a module replacement in HW Config. That
means the change is similar to that of a D425 to D435.
The module replacement is started by dragging the new module to the frame of the module
rack with the existing module in HW Config, see Section Device replacement in HW Config
(Page 353).
The module replacement is performed automatically. During this operation, the technology
packages and the device versions are updated.
Existing configurations of the D4x5 are mostly taken over by the D4x5‑2 during the module
replacement.
Information on when project adaptations are required or not required when changing from a
D4x5 to a D4x5‑2 can be found in the following sections (see Table
Transfer of existing projects
from D4x5 to D4x5‑2).
For further information on measures generally required for project adaptations, see Section
Service and maintenance (Page 337).
Change from D4x5‑2 to D4x5 (downgrade)
As a SINAMICS drive cannot be downgraded, a module replacement of a SIMOTION D4x5‑2
(SINAMICS Integrated firmware V4.x/V5.x) with a SIMOTION D4x5 (SINAMICS Integrated
firmware V2.x) is not possible.
However, project data can be transferred by means of an XML export/import.
Transfer of existing projects
Existing configurations of the D4x5 are mostly taken over by the D4x5‑2 during the module
replacement.
