Use Hardware Support Packages (HSPs):Sometimes a specific version of a drive requires a targeted update. Check the Siemens Industry Online Support (SIOS) for specific HSPs related to your drive's firmware version.

Startdrive Integration: If you are using TIA Portal, many ACX model configurations are included in Hardware Support Packages (HSP). Checking for updates within the TIA Portal software is often the fastest way to "download" the latest container. Key Technical Specifications in the Package

Step-by-Step Installation Guide

Once you have downloaded the siemensmcdrivesacxmodelconfiguration_datapackage_container.zip (typically 50MB to 200MB), follow these steps:

  1. Contact Siemens Technical Support with your exact drive order number (MLFB).
  2. Provide the article number from your TIA Portal or Starter software version.
  3. Request the "Hardware Support Package (HSP)" or "Device configuration package" for your drive series.

Primary Function: It allows the TIA Portal to recognize and properly parameterize hardware like the SINAMICS S210, which supports both single-phase and three-phase power standards for global machine building.

6. Install the Data Package
