Replacing Devices For Know-How Protection With Copy Protection - Siemens SINAMICS G150 Operating Instructions Manual

Functions, Monitoring, and Protective Functions
9.2 Drive Functions
When know-how protection is activated and the memory card copy protection is activated,
data (parameters and DCC) is encrypted, taking into account the serial number of the
memory card (r7843) and the Control Unit (r7758).
When the drive unit is powered up, the serial numbers saved on the memory card and the
Control Unit are compared to the actual serial numbers. If these serial numbers do not
match, then fault F13100 is output and the device can no longer be operated. The individual
cause can be determined by evaluating the default value.

Replacing devices for know-how protection with copy protection

When transferring configuration data with know-how protection and memory card copy
protection between machine manufacturers (OEMs) and end customers, it may be
necessary to replace a damaged memory card or a defective Control Unit.
For this particular case, there is a sequence which is then applied when transferring data
between the machine manufacturer (OEM) and end customer.
Replacing a defective memory card or a defective Control Unit at the end customer
Assumptions:
● The drive is protected with know-how protection and memory card copy protection
● The end customer has a replacement memory card and/or a replacement Control Unit
● The required STARTER project has not been saved by the end customer.
● The machine manufacturer has the same type of Control Unit as the end customer.
Sequence:
● The end customer tells the machine manufacturer the serial number of the memory card
● The machine manufacturer links the STARTER project with the serial numbers of the
● The machine manufacturer loads the STARTER project into the drive unit.
● Online, the machine manufacturer activates, after the download, the copy protection and
● The machine manufacturer saves the project using p0971 or p0977 onto the memory
● The machine manufacturer takes the PS-ACX and possibly generated DCC-YDB files
● The end customer copies the files into the "..\USER\SINAMICS\DATA" area of his
