Q: Does updating the ATV930 firmware impact the M580 DDTs or DFBs?

Issue: Is there any impact on the M580 DDTs or DFBs when updating the ATV930 firmware? Product Line: ATV930, ATV630 Environment: EcoStruxure Control Expert Resolution: Updating the ATV930 firmware does not impact the M580 DDTs or DFBs, since these are PLC-side objects DDTs reference communication mappings, not internal drive memory. The DDTs in the M580 are built around: Defined communication objects (control word, status word, references, feedbacks) Fixed Modbus/TCP or Ethernet/IP register mappings provided by Schneider They are not tied to the drive’s internal firmware memory layout. Even if the firmware changes internally, the external communication map remains stable. Released for: Schneider Electric USA
