Dear Sirs,
My boss got me some old used 'somebody else's spare' MasterDrives
to stow as spares for our machines. Some are tagged as 'will communicate
but will not run'.
The part number on our drives is 6SE7021-OEP50-Z and that is followed
by another line Z = G91 + G42 + C43 + F01 + F29. (We do use the F01 option
in our machines and a drive will not work for us without it.)
The drives the boss got me have a part number of 6SE7021-0EP50. (No Z).
And no second line of stuff.
Question 1. is there a quick idea of what the Z = stuff is? (I'm guessing
it is the three cards and the F01 option.) Both my existing drives and the
the 'strange' drives have three cards in them and (at least in one of the
strange drives) DriveMonitor tells me the cards are the same in mine and
the stranger.
Question 2. The firmware version number in my drives is 1.5.5 and the
firmware version of the strangers seems to be 1.5.1. Assuming the cards
and that F01 option are all there and the same, should this drive work in
my machines?
Question 3. Parameter 978. When Technology option F01 is active
it should be '1'. My drives are all '1' and it looks like the strange
drives are also set to '1'. Can I safely assume this means the F01
option is there and active?
