Manual
3 MOVISUITE® standard: The future of automation
START SCREEN: Project creation
Once you have opened MOVISUITE®, you

can create a new project or open an existing
project on a user-friendly start screen.
Under the "Projects" tab, you can perform

further project functions, such as "Open",
"Save", "Save as", "Export" and "Import",
and you can configure the communication.
The other tabs let you write a feedback e-

mail to SEW-EURODRIVE, change the lan-
guage, and make other settings.
MOVISUITE®: Circle view
The MOVISUITE® circle view is a simple

project view with the focus on the functionali-
ty and startup of the individual device.
The circle view is mainly intended for pro-

jects with many axes without MOVI-C®
CONTROLLER.
The circle view is also suited for diagnostics

and maintenance of a system whose seg-
ments or devices can be detected by bar-
codes or similar tools. In this view you can
automatically navigate to the respective
plant segment or device.
MOVISUITE®: Tree view
The MOVISUITE® tree view is intended for

large projects with a complex structure and
many devices.
This view provides an overview of all devices

and their states at any time.
Notification symbols indicate device faults

and startup warnings so you can easily pin-
point and eliminate faults during startup and
operation.

Manual
MOVISUITE®: Catalog
MOVISUITE® provides a clearly structured,

context-sensitive catalog with all the compo-
nents of SEW-EURODRIVE.
Extensive filter options as well as a full text

search let you easily select components.
MOVISUITE®: Network
MOVISUITE® makes available a combined

network project view.
In the network view, all scanned devices are

displayed in hierarchical order. In the project
view, the devices are displayed in a struc-
tured manner. You can assign the physical
devices to the device modules in the project
view by drag and drop.
MOVISUITE®: Starting up the drive train
Starting up the drive train is provided in

MOVISUITE® by a simple, guided startup
procedure for motor, brake, encoder, gear
unit, and other mechanical components.
Drive train startup also offers additional func-

tions such as determining the load moment
of inertia and simple controller optimization.
Taking a "motor" into operation has never

been that easy!
MOVISUITE®: Manual mode
MOVISUITE® offers the manual mode tool

that can be used, for example, when starting
up the device.
Manual mode provides a speed-controlled

mode. It additionally provides modes such
as positioning, load cycling and cycle mode
that facilitate starting up and optimizing the
drive train.
Also an emergency mode is provided in the

event of distance encoder faults so that the

Manual
drive can be moved to a service position in a
speed-controlled manner.
MOVISUITE®: Scope
MOVISUITE® provides the "Scope" tool that

lets you record parameters and signals for
convenient evaluation.
Single trace mode is available for measure-

ments with a maximum of 10 signals and a
minimum sampling cycle of 250 us. Contin-
uous trace mode is available for long-time
measurements.
MOVISUITE®: Assist CS..
Safety components can be taken into opera-

tion with MOVISUITE® using the Assist
DriveSafety software.
The Assist DriveSafety software takes over

the entire parameter setting of the safety-
related parameters, creation of the ac-

MOVISUITE®: IEC Editor
MOVISUITE® represents the complete inte-

gration of control technology into project
management. Due to the automated code
generation, the IEC project is automatically
synchronized with the engineered devices
and the respective tasks and configurations
are performed.
Users can focus fully on creating the pro-

gram.

Manual
Communication protocol: "DataStream"

and "ApplicationService"
The communication protocol "DataStream"

and "ApplicationService" has been optimized
for sending large amounts of data. The
transmission time of a complete data set of a
MOVIDRIVE® inverter could be reduced
from 90 seconds to 3 seconds thanks to the
protocol.
The communication protocol is not compati-

ble with "Movilink".

12 Navigating in the function view
The function view can be displayed in two different ways.
12.1 MOVISUITE® circle view
The MOVISUITE® circle view is a simple project view with the focus on the functionality and
startup of the individual device.
The circle view is mainly intended for projects with many axes without MOVI-C® CONTROL-
LER.
The circle view is also suited for diagnostics and maintenance of a system whose segments
or devices can be detected by barcodes or similar tools. In this view you can automatically
navigate to the respective plant segment or device.
When opening MOVISUITE®, the project node in the middle is shown as the current node
[1]. The lower-level devices or structure nodes are connected to the project node as child
nodes [2].

Manual
Choose the communication adapter to be used as internal EtherCAT® master [4]. Please
note that the EtherCAT® interfaces are used by the Ethernet and EtherCAT® communication
interface and that only one interface can have assigned an adapter at the same time. The
user interface does not allow for a double assignment and in this way helps you in avoiding
configuration mistakes.
To configure the Ethernet adapters in Windows, click the Windows Network Connections
button [5] and set the parameters in the Ethernet PC adapter (see 14.1.1).
If you change an entry, the Save and Cancel buttons will be displayed automatically.
To save the setting, click Save [6]. The menu closes automatically.
14.2.1 Important information regarding the EtherCAT® address
The address of EtherCAT® devices cannot be set on the device. The devices are rec-
ognized by their position in the bus structure and are then assigned an address by the
EtherCAT® master.
A device ID (explicit device ID) is set using the two hexadecimal switches S1 and S2 on the
device. The EtherCAT® master uses this fixed ID only for unique device identification. This
device ID enables the EtherCAT® master to implement various EtherCAT® features (such as
hot connect, cable swapping detection, etc.). Setting switches S1 and S2 to the value "0"
disables the mechanism of the explicit device ID. With these switches, you can set a decimal
device ID between 1 and 255 in hexadecimal notation (setting ranges S1: 0..F. S2: 0..F 
00..FF).
What does this mean?
If the sequence of devices connected to EtherCAT® is changed or if individual devices are

removed, the devices will be assigned another address. This is not yet detected in the
MOVISUITE® project in the current system package 9 version because only bus type and
address are compared.
In this case, create a new project by choosing New Project / From Network Scan from the
start page.

Manual
14.3 USB
MOVI-C® devices can be taken into operation with MOVISUITE® via the service interface

2.) Under part number 28214498, a complete package is available with a USB-CAN
adapter (CAN dongle), a purple CAN cable, and a sub-D9-RJ10 adapter cable.
Note the following:
MOVI-C® devices come equipped with internal CAN termination (120 ohms), which means
you only have to terminate the other end of the cable toward the USB-CAN adapter to ensure
proper operation. You can do this in two ways:
a) If a 9-pin gender changer (circled in blue color in the figure; available from Conrad,
Reichelt or similar) as well as the original purple CAN cable from PEAK are available,
then the following cabling is recommended between PC and MOVI-C®:
Figure 46: PCAN adapter with cable and terminating resis-

tor
Bear in mind that only one end of the purple CAN cable from PEAK is terminated with
120 ohms. This end is marked by a black label (circled in green color in the figure)
and must be plugged onto the USB-CAN adapter!

Manual
b) If only the USB-CAN adapter and the sub-D to RJ10 adapter cable is available, use a
CAN-DSUB9 terminating plug with integrated termination between cable and USB-
CAN adapter (marked in red color in the figure).

Information regarding SCAN if a device can be reached via several Ether-

net interfaces:
If devices can be reached via the engineering interface and the PROFINET in-
terface via Ethernet, then MOVISUITE® always displays the device with the
Ethernet IP that responds first.
To specify the interface to be used for communication, you can disable broad-
cast in the configuration for communication. Next, you have to explicitly specify
the IP addresses that are to be used for reaching the devices.
If devices were detected during the scan, they will be included in the network view and the
function view (if the function view is still empty).
To view the network, click the Network tab [2]. A combined network and function view opens.

Manual
Trigger Mask Description

type
Analog The parameter value of the selected channel
is compared with a fixed value.
The following types can be used as compar-

ison operands:
= Comparison for equality.
Falling Comparison for the falling
edge edge of the specified fixed
value.
> Parameter > fixed value
< Parameter < fixed value
Windows The parameter is within a
specified window range.
Rising Comparison for rising edge of
edge the specified fixed value.
Bit check An individual bit in the parameter is com-
pared with true (1) or false (2).
Digital The parameter value of the selected channel

is ANDed with a bit mask and then com-
pared with the comparison value.
You can use the following comparison oper-

ations:
= Bit mask Trigger when the
condition is met
False  true Trigger during tran-
sition from false 
true
<> Bit mask Trigger when the
condition is not met
True  false Trigger during the
transition from true
 false

a parameter is assigned that represents a
device state, you can configure to which
status bits triggering is performed. All status
bits are stored in a list.
Digital When selecting a recording channel to which

inputs a parameter is assigned that represents digi-
tal inputs, you can configure to which input
bits triggering is performed. All input bits are
stored in a list.

19.3.2.5.2 Logical operations of trigger conditions
A maximum of 3 trigger conditions can be combined in a logical operation.
Figure 115: Maximum combination option for trigger
Each trigger block has a logical value false (0) or true (1) as output.
The triggers can be combined in a logical operation using AND or OR. Consequently, a logi-
cal result value is output at the respective output.
At level = INTERNAL of MOVISUITE®, a delay element is added that delays the resulting
trigger signal in the device again by the specified time.
In MOVISUITE® levels other than INTERNAL, the delay element is not displayed and has no
effect.

Manual
The delay element can be configured as follows:
Mode Representation Description

None The delay element is disabled, which means the
trigger signal is passed without delay.
Dead time The resulting trigger signal is delayed by the

specified time with reference to the input trigger
signal. This means the resulting trigger signal
will only be generated if the input trigger signal is
present for at least the specified time.
Signal The resulting trigger signal is stretched by the

stretching specified time with reference to the input trigger
signal. This means the resulting trigger signal is
present for a longer time than it is present at the
input of the delay element.
Pulse The resulting trigger signal will be generated at

width least for the specified time even if the input trig-
ger signal of the delay element is shorter than
the specified time.

control mode without encoder has been set.

Manual
19.4.8 Load cycling
The following figure shows load cycling mode.
Figure 134: Load cycling
In load cycling mode, you can enter a position 1 (left position) and a position 2 (right posi-
tion). The positioning speed must also be entered. You can then start load cycling by clicking
the Start button.
If the actual position is beyond the load cycling range, the drive first moves to the edge of the
load cycling range. Next, the load cycling movement starts.
The current absolute position in user units is always displayed as the actual position.

Manual
19.4.9 Cycle mode
The following figure shows cycle mode.
You have to set a cycle length and a positioning speed. The sign of the positioning speed
indicates whether the drive moves to the left (negative sign) or to the right (positive sign) in
cycle mode.
When starting cycle mode, the first cycle starts at the current actual position.
If the drive is stopped and started again either using manual mode or another source, then
the new cycle always starts at the current actual position.
Figure 135: Cycle mode
The remaining travel distance of a cycle is highlighted in yellow. In the above figures, the
cycle starts from left, moves to the right, and has arrived at the right position. The cycle then
starts again at the left position (the blue rhomb jumps to the left).
19.4.10 Emergency mode – defective external encoder
The following figure shows emergency mode with defective external encoder.
"Emergency mode – defective external encoder" is operated in the same way as speed-
controlled manual mode.
This manual mode can be used when the external encoder is defective and the drive is to be
moved in manual mode to a "reachable" replacement position.

Manual
Figure 136: Emergency mode – defective external encoder
Reference travel is not possible in emergency mode. The button for starting reference travel
is therefore disabled.
An additional notification "Emergency mode – defective external encoder" is displayed.
19.4.11 Limit switch processing and display
A difference is made in the device between software limit switches and hardware limit
switches.
Software limit switches are always initialized so they are always activated before the hard-
ware limit switches.
For the operating principle of software and hardware limit switches, refer to the system man-
ual of the devices.

Manual
19.4.11.1 Software limit switches
Software limit switches are visualized in the diagram by the left and right position marks.
Figure 137: Software limit switches
If the numbers are white, the software limit switches have not been hit. The line and the
number turn red as soon a software limit switch has been hit.
Special case – software limit switches after delivery state:

After delivery state, both software limit switches are located at positions = 0. In the above
figure, both software limit switches (left and right) are displayed but both software limit
switches show position "0". Additionally, a fault is displayed (see fault display – manual mode
= red area is shown) where a device fault is shown.
Software limit switch tooltip:

Positioning the mouse over a software limit switch displays a tooltip that describes the state
of the software limit switch.
19.4.11.2 Hardware limit switches
Hardware limit switches are visualized by the left and right position marks.
Figure 138: Hardware limit switches
If the hardware limit switches are indicated in gray color as in the above figure, then the
hardware limit switch has not been hit. The hardware limit switch is indicated in red when it
has been hit.
Hardware limit switch tooltip

Positioning the mouse over a hardware limit switch displays a tooltip that describes the state
of the hardware limit switch.

Manual
19.4.11.3 Behavior when a hardware or software limit switch has been hit
If a hardware or software limit switch has been hit, the drive can be moved away from the
limit switch in inverse direction.
This means:
1 If the right limit switch (hardware or software limit switch) has been hit, the drive can be
moved clear of the limit switch in negative direction of movement.
2 If the left limit switch (hardware or software limit switch) has been hit, the drive can be
moved clear of the limit switch in positive direction of movement.
19.5 XML data exchange (INTERNAL)
Using this tool, you can load parameter sets saved in XML files into the device and read
them out.
Figure 139: Startup test tool
To have data sets displayed, you have to specify the search path (see above figure).
You can search and set the required path by clicking Browse. The path is saved locally.
If you select a data set in the list, you can load the data set into the device by clicking "PC 
device".
To read the data set from the device, click "Device  PC". A new name is created for the
read-out file according to the following pattern:
[Original file name]_READ_[date]_[time]

Manual
Figure 140: File selection
You can open the selected file and the folder via context menu.
Additionally, a log file is created with every action. Log files are stored relative to the speci-
fied file path in the path .\Logging.
Using the context menu, you can edit the list. This means you can delete individual files or all
files from the list. You can also open the folder for the log files in the Explorer.

Manual
19.6 Parameter Tree Editor (INTERNAL)
The Parameter Tree Editor is available for SEW experts for maintaining and creating the con-
figuration pages.
The device should be configured using the nodes on the device.
19.7 Assist CS..
The Assist CS.. software is described in the manual for the CS.. components.
19.8 MultiMotion Monitor
The Monitor is a tool you can use to diagnose the interface in the IEC program for the Mul-
tiMotion axis and also to operate the interface in control mode.
The Monitor is described in the IEC Project Creation manual.
19.9 CAM Editor
The CAM Editor is a tool that lets you create curves than can be traveled along by means of
the controller and the camming function.
The CAM Editor is described in the IEC Project Creation manual.

20 Project and data management
20.1 Project management
Using the project management functions, you can perform the following functions:
- Create new project

- Open project
- Save project
- Save project as
- Export/import project
20.1.1 New/open/save project
20.1.1.1 New project
When creating a new project, a temporary project is always created. You are not directly
prompted to enter a project name. Instead, a default name is specified and the project is
saved under this name.
You are prompted to enter a project name the first time you save the project, or you can ac-
cept the suggested default name.
20.1.1.2 Open project
When opening an existing project (by directly selecting the project in the main menu), the
project is loaded and you then work with the temporary project.
20.1.1.3 Save project
A dot in the Save icon indicates that changes have been made to the saved project.
To save the changed data, click the Save button.

Manual
Figure 142: Saving in MOVISUITE®
Figure 143: Saving in the main menu

Manual
20.1.1.4 Data management processes
When opening a project in MOVISUITE®, the selected project is copied and saved in a tem-
porary folder.
You always work with the temporary project. All changes made during ongoing operation are
saved in the temporary project.
The project itself consists of a project directory where the following parts are saved:
Project fragment Description

Device data sets The device data sets are saved in a shared
database. Each write access is saved both in
the device database and in the device.
Folders for tools with subprojects Tools can contain subprojects.
Scope contains a scope project where the
configuration and the measurements are
saved.
The IEC Editor contains the IEC project
where all data for the IEC project is saved.
When saving the project, the temporary project is copied and saved in the actual project.
However, the temporary project remains open and the application continues to work with this
temporary project.
The temporary project is deleted when closing the tool and when changing the project.
The following figure shows this concept.

INFORMATION 1:
The MOVISUITE® project is not saved completely until all subordinate tools
have saved your project and until MOVISUITE® has also saved its data in the
MOVISUITE® project database.

Manual
INFORMATION 2:
If you save your data in a tool (e.g. IEC Editor or Scope), then the data are only
saved in the temporary MOVISUITE® project. This means you have to save the
data by clicking the Save button in MOVISUITE® (see above) at the latest when
closing MOVISUITE®.
The data will be lost if you do not save the data in MOVISUITE®.

Manual
20.1.2 Exporting/importing a MOVISUITE® project
You can export or import a project via the main menu of MOVISUITE®.
Figure 145: Exporting a MOVISUITE® project
When exporting a project, the current project is saved first and then the project is saved as a
project ZIP file at the location specified by the user.

Manual
20.2 Device data management
Device data management is used to save or read the data of devices in the project database
of MOVISUITE®.
Several mechanisms are possible, which are described in the following chapters.
20.2.1 Changing parameters directly
In MOVISUITE®, users can work in two different modes:
1. Startup mode: In this mode, you work directly with the data of the device, have these
data displayed, and you change these values directly in the device and at the same
time also in the database.
2. Planning mode: In this mode, you work with the data of the database but the devices
need not necessarily be connected. Data are saved only in the database.
20.2.1.1 In startup mode
What is important in startup mode is that changes are always saved in the device AND in the
MOVISUITE® project.
The advantage of this mechanism is that you need not make a backup in order to save the
data you have changed in the device in the database (which was the case in MOVITOOLS
MotionStudio and has been criticized).

20.2.1.3 In configuration
In the configuration, the values are read directly from the devices and are displayed in the
parameters in startup mode. Only the required parameters of the currently displayed page
are read out.
Parameter changes are directly written into the device and are saved in the MOVISUITE®
project.
20.2.1.4 In wizards: e.g. drive train
The drive train is an exception in the data management because in this case a consistent
data status must be fulfilled for the drive train function before the data can be saved into the
device.
This is the reason why the required data set is first read from the device in startup mode. The
user prepares the drive train, changes it, and sets the necessary parameters. Next, the drive
train is saved as complete package in the device and at the same time in the MOVISUITE®
project.
In the planning phase, the values are only entered in the MOVISUITE® project, else the pro-
cedure is the same.

Manual
20.2.2 Transferring a data set
As parameters can also be changed from other sources (e.g. via CBG21A or MOVI-C®
CONTROLLER), users must have the option of synchronizing the data set of a device with
the data set saved in the MOVISUITE® project for this device.
The following options are provided:

- Device  PC: Perform a backup of device data.
- PC  device: Restore the project data into the device.

Figure 150: Backup and restore of data sets
20.2.3 Exporting/importing device data set
You can export and import a device data set.
During the export, the device data set is read from the device in startup mode. Next, an ex-
port file is created that contains the complete device data set. Additionally, all tool project
data are saved in the export file.
Data sets can be imported in two ways:
1. When importing an export file and a device is selected, all data will be imported into a
device.
2. When importing an export file and a segment is selected, a new device will be creat-
ed with the device type described in the export file and the data of the export file.

Figure 153: Importing a device data set
WARNING:
When exporting and importing a data set, only the parameter data set of the
device is saved.
Both the configuration data for the software module and the software module
itself are not exported or imported.
20.2.4 Device replacement detection
A notification symbol at the device node indicates that a device or unit has been replaced.
Device replacement is detected by means of the UUID that is specified by production and is
unique for each device.
You have to perform the function "PC  device" (restore) to load the saved data set of the
device into the device in the MOVISUITE® project.
In the process, all read-only device properties are synchronized with the device so that the
data set in the device is identical with the data set in the MOVISUITE® project database.

Manual
20.2.5 Detecting different device properties
When assigning a scanned device in the network view to a device module in the function
view, a dialog opens if the device properties are different.
Possible differences:
- Different device family

- Different part number or version
- Differently configured subcomponents (options)
Figure 154: Detecting different device properties
You can synchronize the data in the MOVISUITE® project. In this case, the device is not
affected because the read-only properties of the device cannot be modified.
The dialog also appears for the following actions:

- Copy data / paste data
- PC  device
- Device  PC
For these three actions, the device properties are always compared.

Manual
21 Versioning of modules
Information:
The modules of MOVISUITE® are structured in such a way that MOVISUITE®
can be easily and conveniently expanded without having to compile
MOVISUITE®.
This means that in the case of a newly released series version of a device, you
can expand the current MOVISUITE® installation by this series version simply by
means of an update package instead of having to install the entire MOVISUITE®
software again.
21.1 Introduction
The versioning of modules in MOVISUITE® consists of the components shown in the follow-
ing figure.

Manual
21.2 Working with versioning
The following subchapters describe the most important functions, displays and actions that
will occur when working with MOVISUITE®.
21.2.1 Selecting a device module with version from the catalog
When you add a device from the catalog (preferably in the planning phase), you additionally
have to select the version of the module (firmware version of the device). The latest version
of the module is set by default.
Figure 157: Selecting the module version in the catalog
A module version must also be chosen for the selected options. An exception are all options
without firmware (CIDxx and CIOxx). No version needs to be selected for these options as no
selection is offered for these options.
Clicking "Apply" creates the device with the selected versions and options and displays it in
the function view.
If you change to the planning phase after having configured the module, you will have to
connect the devices in the function view to physically scanned devices in the network view.
An online-offline version check is performed in the process, see 21.2.4.

Manual
21.2.2 Selecting a software module with version from the catalog
Also when selecting a software module from the catalog, you have to specify the version of
the software module. The latest version is set by default.
Figure 158: Selecting the software module with version from the catalog
Select the required version of the software module and apply the software module by clicking
the "Apply" button.
21.2.3 Connecting a device module in function view with a device in network

view
When connecting a device module in the function view with a device in the network view, the
versions of the saved data set and of the connected device are checked and, if required,
synchronized.
If the versions are different, the following message appears:
Figure 159: Different versions

Manual
When the connection is created, the version is synchronized automatically. This means the
version of the physically connected device is applied to the MOVISUITE® project.
Next, you can additionally perform the data management function "PC  device" or "Device
 PC".
Information:
No dialog is displayed when the versions are identical.
21.2.4 Online-offline check of module versions
MOVISUITE® cyclically checks in the background whether the version of the device matches
the module version saved in the project. A notification symbol appears if a difference is de-
tected. Clicking the notification symbol opens a window with further information.
Figure 160: Example of a notification dialog
21.2.5 Notification for different device versions
A notification symbol is displayed on the device when you have update the firmware of the
device (e.g. V2.10  V3.00). This notification symbol indicates that different device versions
have been detected.
Figure 161: Different device versions detected

Manual
The "Possible causes and solutions" part of the notification provides information on how to
solve the problem:
1. Perform the function "Device  PC": Doing so will apply the current data set of the
device to the project, which means also the versions will be adjusted.
2. Perform a firmware update and load the old firmware version into the device again.
The notification message disappears once you have performed one of the two suggested
solutions.
Notes on working with different versions

We advise against using different versions of physical device and device module saved in
MOVISUITE®. The reason is that the scope of parameters might differ and data might get
lost in the worst case.
21.2.6 Device version not installed
It might occur that a device version is not installed on the PC. This can be the case, for ex-
ample, when a device firmware with a later version is loaded in the device but this version is
not yet included in the installed MOVISUITE® version.
In this case you only have the following options:

1. Load a device with a firmware version included in MOVISUITE®
2. Install a new MOVISUITE® version
3. Re-install an available new module for this new device
Notes on working with different versions

We advise against using different versions of physical device and device module saved in
MOVISUITE®. The reason is that the scope of parameters might differ and data might get
lost in the worst case.
21.2.7 Device not known
It might occur that a device module is not installed on the PC. This can be the case, for ex-
ample, when a new device is connected that is not yet included in the installed MOVISUITE®
version.
In this case you only have the following options:

1. Install a new MOVISUITE® version that includes the device module
2. Re-install an available new module for this new device

Manual
21.3 Adjust version and device
The "Adjust version and device" dialog allows for changing the components and versions in
an existing MOVISUITE® project. This function is available from MOVISUITE® version 2.2. A
video is available that explains the function in detail.
The dialog can be opened for the following components:

• Controllers
• Inverters
• Virtual axes
• Software nodes
The "Adjust version and device" dialog is described by way of an example.
Some adjustments are made in the planning phase on a MOVIDRIVE® Technology inverter
as an example. The MOVIDRIVE® main component is to be updated to the latest version 4.0
and the MOVIKIT® module "Positioning Drive" is to be replaced by "Velocity Drive".
The versions of the main component, subcomponents, and the MOVIKIT® module are
shown in the tooltip of the selected MOVISUITE® Technology.
Figure 162: Display of the main component, subcomponent, and MOVIKIT® module with their
versions
To open the new dialog "Adjust version and device" in the context menu, right-click the upper
or lower semi-circle of the device node.
Figure 163: Context menu with the "Adjust version and device" dialog

Manual
21.3.1 Planning phase
In the planning phase, you can edit the type, the subcomponent version, and the selection of
the MOVIKIT® module. For the main component, only the version can be adjusted.
Figure 164: "Adjust version and device" dialog
For example, if you want to change the MOVIKIT® module, you simply have to open the cor-
responding dropdown menu and make the selection.
If you want to change a subcomponent or a MOVIKIT® module, the latest version is already
preselected.
You can also remove entire subcomponents and MOVIKIT® modules, or add new ones.
Figure 165: Changing the MOVIKIT® module
Changes are indicated by green icons. You can view the changes between components or
versions on the associated notification window.

Manual
21.3.2 Startup phase
The dialog is opened via the context menu of the device. All settings can be made on the
MOVIKIT® module as usual.
In this example, the target versions for the main and subcomponents are dimmed because
the firmware of the device is adjusted when changing the version.
The firmware can only be changed by the Service of SEW-EURODRIVE using the Firmware
Loader.
Figure 170: "Adjust version and device" dialog in the startup phase
Once you have confirmed the selection by clicking "Apply", all displayed versions and com-
ponents are applied both in the device and in the project.
21.3.3 Compatibility check in the "Adjust version and device" dialog
Now back to the planning phase to show an additional function.
Figure 171: Change to the startup phase
MOVISUITE® checks whether the selected target versions are compatible with one another.
The way in which incompatible versions are indicated and how this is remedied, is shown
taking a MOVIDRIVE® system inverter as example.
If version 2.10 is selected as the target version for the main component and for example Mul-
tiMotion is added as a new MOVIKIT® module, then this module is not compatible with the
version of the main component.

Manual
Figure 172: Selecting the MOVIKIT® module Figure 173: Indication of the change
An incompatibility is already indicated in the dropdown menu and with an error icon next to
the version selection. Mouse over or clicking the icon provides further information.

The drive module is assigned to a device by means of the device ID and version ID (GUID
device, device family, part number, version).
The upper figure shows two devices with different versions. In MOVISUITE®, these devices
refer to two different drive modules that differ by the different version.
Each drive module includes references to data modules that are also filed separately as a
package for each version.
Example: The drive module for version 02.02 includes among others another parameter tree
and symbol info than the drive module for version 03.01.
The module global DataModule CrcRecipe, help and images contain version-independent
data that are used for every module with the same GUID device.
