Metadata required for the drive to communicate with Totally Integrated Automation (TIA) Portal, Simit, or third-party simulation tools.
If these options were not set during the initial download, the drive will only contain the runtime code. Attempting to unload the project later will result in a warning that the source files are not loaded in the drive.
The exact sequence for creating and downloading this full data container varies slightly depending on your engineering software (STARTER, SCOUT, or TIA Portal with Startdrive). However, the critical principles remain consistent.
Navigate to Options > Manage general station description files (GSD) or Install Hardware Support Package (HSP) . Metadata required for the drive to communicate with
The is a specialized software component used within the Siemens TIA Portal environment to support specific hardware integrations. ⚙️ Purpose and Function
Once a valid configuration is built, the portal often provides a direct download link to the exact tailored to your custom bill of materials. TIA Portal Cloud & SIMIT Component Libraries

Some specific documents and resources you may find useful:
Virtual commissioning reduces physical testing time by up to 50%. Downloading the correct top-level container ensures high-fidelity simulations before hardware arrives on the factory floor.
Search for your specific drive series (e.g., "SINAMICS S120 ACX model") alongside terms like "SIMIT component library" or "Digital Twin Data Package." The is a specialized software component used within
This is the most common solution. This package is frequently included in specific versions of SINAMICS Startdrive , particularly the Advanced versions or specific updates (e.g., V17 Update 12 or V18).
The COMBO license allows parallel use of multiple SINAMICS DCC versions (V3.3/V3.4/V3.5/V3.6 and V20) if both tools are installed on the same computer.
