If nothing happens when inserting a SINAMICS drive or incorrect article numbers are displayed for SINAMICS components, you should delete the cache of TIA Portal.
You will experience one of the following scenarios:
You add a SINAMICS drive to your project, but it is not displayed.
Incorrect article numbers are displayed for at least one SINAMICS component (please compare the article number on the SINAMICS components with the one configured in TIA Portal) and an upload or download from/to the SINAMICS is not possible.
