WARNING
Unexpected machine motion caused by inappropriate/incorrect inverter settings
Replacing inverters of different types can result in incomplete or inappropriate/incorrect
inverter settings. As a consequence, machines can unexpectedly move, e.g. speed
oscillation, overspeed or incorrect direction of rotation. Unexpected machine motion can
result in death, injury and/or material damage.
•
In all cases that are not permitted according to the table above, recommission the drive
after replacing an converter.
Device replacement without removable storage medium - only for communication via PROFINET
If you have created a topology in your control, you can use environment detection to replace
a defective converter with a new device of the same type and with the same software
release. Recommissioning is not required in this case.
You can either load the converter settings into the converter using the memory card or – if
you are using a SIMATIC S7 controller with DriveES – using DriveES.
Additional information about replacing devices without removable storage medium can be
found in the Internet:

9.2.3
Replacing a Control Unit with enabled safety function
Replacing a Control Unit with data backup on a memory card
If you use a memory card with firmware, after the replacement, you obtain a precise copy
(firmware and settings) of the replaced Control Unit.
Requirement
You have a memory card with the actual settings of the Control unit to be replaced.
Procedure
1.
Disconnect the line voltage to the Power Module and (if installed) the external 24 V
supply or the voltage for the digital outputs of the Control Unit.
2.
Remove the signal cables from the Control Unit.
3.
Remove the defective Control Unit.
4.
Remove the memory card from the old Control Unit and insert it in the new Control Unit.
5.
Mount the new Control Unit on the Power Module. The new Control Unit must have the
same article number and the same or higher firmware version as the Control Unit that
was replaced.
