Replacing a DRIVE-CLiQ component

Replacing a DRIVE-CLiQ component
Defective components in the SINAMICS S120 drive system can be replaced with components
with identical or with different article numbers depending on the equivalence level set.
You can find further information in the SINAMICS S120 function manual
(https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109781535) under "Component
replacement".
Firmware update
DRIVE-CLiQ components are automatically upgraded or downgraded to the component
firmware version on the memory card during power up. A module replacement can therefore
lead to a firmware update (see DRIVE-CLiQ component firmware update (Page 327)).
