Select "Download from the Internet" or "Add from file system" if you have downloaded an .mpk or .isp file.
: Sometimes, the specific model data isn't in the main installer but available as a Hardware Support Package (HSP) on the Siemens Industry Online Support (SIOS) portal. System Requirements for Configuration
The is a specialized model/schema container used within the Siemens Motion Control (MC) ecosystem to define data structures for AC drive systems. Primarily associated with the SINAMICS Startdrive software within the TIA Portal, this package facilitates the parameterization and integration of variable frequency drives into larger automation networks. Understanding the ACX Configuration DataPackage
In the context of Siemens motion control, a DataPackage (often found in formats like .mpk ) serves as a preconfigured set of parameters that define how a drive interact with its environment. The "ACX" designation typically refers to a specific model or series within the broader Siemens drive portfolio, often linked to induction motor configurations or advanced drive controllers.
: Engineer arrives, connects laptop, opens original TIA project (if available), goes online, can’t find the exact backup, manually sets 200+ parameters from PDF printout, performs drive optimization (2 hours). Line downtime: high.
Standard configuration files ( *.pdz from STARTER) are often locked to a specific device ID. A portable data package strips away hardware-level UUIDs, saving only the logical model (SACX), making it truly portable.
