To download the latest configuration containers, follow these steps on the Siemens Industry Online Support (SIOS) portal :
: Siemens uses unique IDs for downloads. For example, SINAMICS Startdrive V19 is found under ID 109821373.
: Necessary updates to the TIA Portal hardware catalog that allow the software to recognize new drive modules. For specific (2D/3D models and EPLAN macros) required
For specific (2D/3D models and EPLAN macros) required for mechanical or electrical design, you can search by article number in the SiePortal CAx database . g., V17, V19) to match your current TIA Portal environment? SINAMICS Startdrive V19 - ID: 109821373 - Support
: Ensure your base engineering software (e.g., STEP 7 or Startdrive ) is compatible with the package version. The configuration data for Siemens Motion Control (MC)
The configuration data for Siemens Motion Control (MC) drives within the ACX (Automation X) ecosystem is often distributed via . These containers are essential for integrating specific drive hardware, such as SIMATIC MICRO-DRIVE or SINAMICS systems, into engineering frameworks like the Siemens TIA Portal. Understanding the ACX Model Configuration Package
: These are often provided as .iso or .zip files. High-capacity packages like Startdrive V19 SP1 can be upwards of 6.7 GB. "ACX" typically refers to the newer
In the context of modern Siemens drive engineering, "ACX" typically refers to the newer, open engineering environment used for advanced motion control. The serves as a bridge between the software and the physical drive hardware, containing:
