Change to Compatible Type in the case of AX5000 servo drive
With the Change to Compatible Type function, TwinCAT offers an exchange of the AX5000 servo drive
(larger range of functions or performance, see above) and/or the revision, taking into account the links in the
task.
Allocation of the interface revisions
If the AX5000 servo drive is inserted by means of a
device scan in the TwinCAT configuration the
Solution Explorer displays the interface revision of the
device (see picture, left). The user can change the
device name.
Depending on the hardware and firmware version of the AX5000, there is an allocation of various interface
revisions.
In the table below the interface revisions of hardware 1 and 2 are allocated to the firmware revisions (V1.00
– V2.10).
Example – Hardware 1 device:
The interface 004 (HW 1) was generated in order to operate firmware V1.00 b0009.
Example – Hardware 2 device:
The interface 202 (HW 2) was generated in order to operate firmware V2.05 b0008*.

1)Operation of the interface 020x with the FW versions V2.03 – V2.06 is permissible. Operation of the interface with the FW version V2.10 is permissible. The full range of functions of a
firmware can only be guaranteed with the associated interface (e.g. FW V2.06 b0023 with interface 203).
*Due to continuous software development, the firmware versions listed in the table may be obsolete.
