Loading know-how protected data to the file system

Data with know-how protection can be directly loaded or saved to the file system from the drive
unit. The activated know-how protection ensures that the data cannot be forwarded to
unauthorized third parties.
The following applications are conceivable at the end user:
● Adaptations of encrypted SINAMICS data are required.
● The memory card is defective.
● The Control Unit of the drive is defective.
In these cases, the OEM can create a new encrypted subproject (for a drive object) via
STARTER. The serial number of a new memory card or a new Control Unit is saved in this
encrypted data record in advance.
Application example: Control Unit is defective
Scenario:
The Control Unit of an end user is defective. The machine manufacturer (OEM) has the end
user's STARTER project files of the machine.
