Upgrading from 8BVIxxx-1 and 8BVIxxx-3 SafeMOTION ACOPOSmulti modules to 8BVIxxx-4 modules

When upgrading the ACOPOSmulti SafeMOTION hardware in a machine from 8BVIxxx-1 or 8BVIxxx-3 SafeMOTION ACOPOSmulti modules to 8BVIxxx-4 modules it is important to note that the hardware upgrade in Automation Studio needs to be replaced as well. Using 8BVIxxx-4 SafeMOTION ACOPOSmulti modules with the wrong hardware upgrades will result in non-functional modules.

Additionally, the Automation Studio project and the SafeDESIGNER project need to be compiled and downloaded.

The required device upgrades to be used are the following:

  • V4.6/V6.0 HW (8BVIxxxxxxSS.xxx-4) (EnDat 2.2 single axis)

  • V4.6/V6.0 HW (8BVIxxxxxxSA.xxx-4) (SinCos single axis)

  • V4.6/V6.0 HW (8BVIxxxxxxDS.xxx-4) (EnDat 2.2 double axis)

Also, the 8BVSV2SAFE1-1 SafeMOTION encoder module needs to be replaced by the following module:

  • V4.6/V6.0 HW Upgrade (8BSMC9173)

These upgrades are available on the B&R website or through Automation Studio → Tools → Upgrades.
