Install the exact corresponding version of the SINUMERIK MC STEP 7 Toolbox .

: The container is pushed via Industrial Ethernet (PROFINET) or a USB interface directly to the target memory card or non-volatile memory of the Sinamics control unit. Common Scenarios Involving This Component

This article dissects each component of this keyword, explains the underlying ACX (Automation Component eXchange) model, and provides a step-by-step guide to successfully executing a container-based configuration download.

You will need to perform a siemens.mc.drives.acx.model.configuration data.package container download in the following scenarios:

The error siemens.mc.drives.acx.model.configuration data.package container indicates that your TIA Portal project is missing a specific software package or required to recognize a drive (typically a SINAMICS drive) or a SINUMERIK controller integrated with drives.

If you are prompted for this package, it is rarely a standalone file you download manually from a generic site. Instead, you should follow these steps: Required Software - Siemens SiePortal

Cause: The ACX model configuration version is newer than the firmware running on the physical drive, or your TIA Portal/Edge app version is outdated.

When an engineer triggers a "Download to Device" command, the engineering software initiates a package container download . Instead of sending individual parameters sequentially, the system compiles the entire hardware and software model into a singular, validation-checked package. This container is pushed to the drive’s memory card or internal flash non-volatile memory via PROFINET, Industrial Ethernet, or USB. Step-by-Step Mechanism of a Package Container Download
