The TIA Portal project architecture is fully modularized. Rather than embedding every possible drive description into the core software, Siemens uses to load specific device model metadata on demand.
For custom applications, you might need to manually register the missing DLL. This is a more advanced procedure.
[ Your TIA Portal Setup ] <--- Version Mismatch / Missing HSP ---> [ Shared Project File ] │ │ └── Doesn't have Acx.Model.ConfigurationData Package Container ─────┘
Today, the name of the game is . Specifically, we are looking at the trifecta of modern drive configuration: Model Configuration , Data Packages , and Containers . The TIA Portal project architecture is fully modularized
: These are "PackageContainers" that TIA Portal uses to organize device-specific metadata. Acyclic Data (ACX)
Points directly to the Siemens Motion Control drive catalog. This library handles the hardware parameters, cyclic telegram configurations, and motor-module handshakes across the SINAMICS family.
Configuring a SINAMICS S120 with Startdrive >= V15 - Support This is a more advanced procedure
If you’ve recently transitioned from legacy SCOUT or STARTER projects into the TIA Portal environment, you’ve likely noticed a shift in how Siemens handles SINAMICS AC Drives (ACD). Gone are the days of isolated parameter files floating around your project folder.
Configuring the Siemens MC Drives ACX model involves several steps:
The best source for updates is the portal. Navigate to the Siemens Industry Online Support Website . : These are "PackageContainers" that TIA Portal uses
The most common time you'll encounter this component is not by seeing it run successfully, but when you see an error message from .
: It contains model configuration data for Motion Control (MC) drives, specifically within the ACX (Acyclic exchange) framework used for drive communication. sieportal.siemens.com How to Resolve and Download
