13.4 Compatibility

13.4.1

Compatibility with older software versions

Future ID 40 software versions will remain backward compatible as far as possible.
However, it cannot be ruled out that modifications to the SLK/user interface will
become necessary in order to enhance functionality.
13.4.2

Compatibility with ID 80/E and MTS 2

The previous Bosch ID 80/E identification system has been replaced with the ID 40.
The system components are compatible with one another to ensure a seamless
transition in the applications, i.e., both ID 40/MDTs and ID 80/E-MDTs can be run
with the ID 40/SLK. Even the ID 80/E-SLS can communicate with all MDTs.
Nevertheless, replacing an ID 80/E-SLS with an ID 40/SLK requires the following:
• Availability of a fieldbus system supported by the ID 40. The ID 80/E-SLS cannot be
connected to a fieldbus
• Existing SLS Programs have to be implemented in the control application that
exchanges data with the ID 40/SLK through the fieldbus
ID 80/E-MDTs can be replaced by ID 40/MDT8Ks in MTS 2 systems without
restriction.
It is not possible to use ID 40/MDT2Ks on MTS 2 systems due to the lack of
memory capacity.
