Siemens.mc.drives.acx.model.configuration Data.package Container Download

If you're using Python to make this request, here's an example:

import requests
import json
# Define your URL and data
url = 'https://siemens.mc.drives.acx.model.configuration/api/endpoint/package/download'
data = 
    "packageName": "your_package_name",
    "container": "your_container_name",
    "configuration": "specific_configuration"
# Convert the data to JSON
json_data = json.dumps(data)
# Set headers
headers = 
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    # Add any other required headers, such as Authorization
# Make the POST request
try:
    response = requests.post(url, data=json_data, headers=headers)
    response.raise_for_status()  # Raise an exception for bad status codes
except requests.exceptions.RequestException as err:
    print("Request Exception:", err)
else:
    print("Request successful. Response:")
    print(response.text)

Critical warning: Never download drive configuration containers from third-party file sharing sites. Siemens does not offer generic "pre-made" ACX containers for download because each container is tightly bound to a specific hardware configuration (order number, firmware version, and safety version).

However, the term "download" in this context refers to two distinct actions: If you're using Python to make this request,

Siemens does not offer a generic public repository for siemens.mc.drives.acx.model.configuration data.package container directly to end users. Instead:

Warning: Third-party websites claiming to offer free ACX containers drive bricking risk – only use Siemens-signed containers. Warning : Third-party websites claiming to offer free

  • Online connection to the drive (PN/IE interface).
  • Drive in download ready state (no active faults, inhibit commands off).

    • In TIA Portal / Startdrive:

    In SCOUT (SIMOTION):

    Go to Online & diagnostics → Diagnostic buffer.
    Look for entries like:
    "ACX container download completed successfully (signature verified)"
    and
    "Parameters restored from non-volatile memory."

    Any CRC error (e.g., Zim 5) indicates a corrupted container – repeat download. In TIA Portal / Startdrive:

    The siemens.mc.drives.acx.model.configuration data.package container (hereafter "data.package") encapsulates configuration, metadata, and auxiliary assets required by Siemens MC Drives ACX models. Proper handling of this container is essential for reproducible deployments, model compatibility, and maintaining safety and compliance in industrial automation environments.

    The download procedure is not merely a file transfer; it is a state-managed transaction involving the target drive.
