Information about DCC SINAMICS

A license is required for using DCC SINAMICS V2.1.

When upgrading DCC SINAMICS from the Version V2.0 SP5 (STARTER V4.1.5.5) to V2.2.1 and maintaining the CFC V7.0 SP1 HF3, you can continue to use the license for SINAMICS DCC V2.0 SP5 (CFC for SINAMCIS V7.0). To be able to use the full scope of functions of DCC V2.2.1, you must install CFC V7.1 SP2 HF2 (or later). For this, the license for DCC V2.1 (CFC for SINAMCIS V7.1) or the license for DCC V2.2.1 (CFC for SINAMCIS V8.0) is required.

If you wish to use DCC SINAMICS on a 64-bit operating system, install CFC V8.0. This CFC Version V8.0 is also stored on the STARTER DVD. If you have already obtained a license for DCC V2.1 (CFC for SINAMCIS V7.1), you can continue to use this. If you have not yet obtained this license, you must purchase a license for DCC V2.2.1 (CFC for SINAMCIS V8.0).

If you wish to purchase the licenses, order the relevant product DCC SINAMICS V2.2.1 (6AU1810-1HA22-1XA0 ) or DCC SIMOTION V2.2.1 with license. DCC SIMOTION comprises the license for DCC SIMOTION and DCC SINAMICS. Alternatively, you can also order a mere license stick DCC V2.2.1 (CFC for SINAMCIS V8.0) (6AU1810-1HA22-1XB0) for DCC SINAMICS V2.2.1 (temporarily).

During the setup for STARTER V4.3 SP1, the DCC libraries (DCB) are automatically installed and optionally also the DCC Editor (CFC V8.0). In this case, the orderable DCC DVD need not be installed separately. Only the license must always be installed separately.

Installation versions

STARTER can be operated in the following installation versions:

  • STARTER Standalone

  • STARTER integrated in Drive ES for applications with SIMATIC S7

  • STARTER integrated in SIMOTION SCOUT resp. SIMATIC S7 technology

A Guided Tour can be downloaded which facilitates familiarization with the STARTER (see 21110668).

Note regarding the STARTER and other engineering software

The simultaneous operation of the versions  STARTER, SIMOTION SCOUT and SIMATIC S7 technology in a shared partition on one PC/PG is not supported.

*) Limited test scope
**) Highly limited test scope, that means, you must install the software on your own risk after confirming the relevant warning
***) IMPORTANT:
NO USS protocol is provided under 64-bit operating systems. Thus, with this STARTER version, you cannot operate MICROMASTER and SINAMICS G120 with Firmware Versions lower than V4.4 if they are not provided with a PROFIBUS / PROFINET interface. This limitation will be eliminated asap through a HF.

The STARTER setup can only be performed for "native" Windows versions with Far Eastern languages when using a MUI version of Windows XP or Windows 7. The executability in another software configuration than the one stated above has not been tested.
