Note
Device diagnostics can provide information on which technology package product version has
been loaded to a CPU.
Loading technology packages to the target device
Technology packages are only loaded to the target device if no technology package has been
loaded so far or if "Load to file system" is executed.
If a technology package version changes, the technology package must be explicitly reloaded
to the target device. To do this, proceed as follows:
1. Select "Download project to target system" in SIMOTION SCOUT.
2. Select the "Replace product versions of the technology packages" option at "Additional
CPU options" and confirm with OK.
For further information, please refer to the online help for SIMOTION SCOUT.

Upgrading the device version of SINAMICS S120 control units

Overview
You can upgrade the device versions of SINAMICS S120 control units that are connected to
the SIMOTION D via PROFIBUS or PROFINET in the SIMOTION SCOUT. The SINAMICS
version can only ever be upgraded in a project; it cannot be downgraded.
Note
During the device replacement in HW Config, the SINAMICS version
● Of the SINAMICS Integrated of the SIMOTION D4x5‑2 as well as
● The connected CX32‑2 controller extensions
are also upgraded automatically.
A CX32‑2 always has the same SINAMICS version as the SINAMICS Integrated. During the
module replacement in HW Config, the SIMOTION and the SINAMICS version is always
defined with the selection of a D4x5‑2 module.
If a SINAMICS S120 control unit is connected via PROFIBUS or PROFINET, the SINAMICS
version can be selected independently of the SINAMICS Integrated version.
