Maintenance
13.1 Replacing system components
Installing and connecting a new SIMATIC Drive Controller
Proceed as follows to install the new SIMATIC Drive Controller:
1. Install the new SIMATIC Drive Controller.
2. Connect the protective conductor to the SIMATIC Drive Controller.
3. Reconnect all connectors you have previously removed.
4. Open the bottom front cover.
5. Insert the SIMATIC Memory Card in the slot.
6. Switch the power supply back on.
Following a module replacement, the CPU operates with the configured start values.
SINAMICS Integrated detects a module replacement on the basis of the new SIMATIC Drive
Controller serial number. Following POWER ON, the NVRAM of the SINAMICS Integrated is
cleared and the NVRAM data is then loaded from the memory card.
Note
Make sure that the new SIMATIC Drive Controller has the same or a higher main firmware
version for CPU and SINAMICS Integrated .
If the main SINAMICS firmware version is higher, you will need to upgrade your project to
the relevant SINAMICS version to ensure that you can still go online with your project on
SINAMICS Integrated.
Note
Setting up copy protection
For code blocks, you can set up copy protection (Page 179) that binds execution of the
blocks to a specific CPU or a specific memory card on the basis of the serial number. In such
cases, a substitute controller cannot be used without additional measures being taken.
