A Siemens distributor’s quotation note—“Please make sure that this unit are not from China”—creates an unresolved eligibility issue for a Simoreg DC-Master 6RA7095 reported as manufactured in China. Do not purchase or attempt to apply the S00 license until Siemens confirms that the specific unit is eligible.
Separate the Confirmed Facts from the Claims
| Item | Evidence-supported status | Engineering decision |
|---|---|---|
| Drive | Simoreg DC-Master 6RA7095 | Use the complete unit identification when requesting confirmation. |
| S00 activation | Described as available for an additional charge | Treat this as provisional until Siemens verifies the individual unit. |
| China-origin restriction | A distributor quotation contains an explicit warning | Resolve the warning before placing the order. |
| License duration | Described as time-limited, but no duration is stated | Request the exact validity period and expiration behavior in writing. |
Identify the Configuration Variables
The supplied information indicates that S00 licensing can depend on installed option hardware, the drive’s application, and its main software release. Language or software-release compatibility was also suggested, but it was not confirmed for this 6RA7095. Record these items without assuming that any one of them explains the distributor’s China-origin warning.
Resolve Eligibility Before Ordering
- Record the complete drive identification, manufacturing-origin marking, installed option cards or other connected option hardware, intended application, main software release, and displayed language.
- Send that information together with the distributor’s quotation and warning to an official Siemens service center.
- Request written confirmation that S00 can be activated on this exact unit, including the charge, license validity period, software compatibility, and any origin-related restriction.
- Proceed only when the confirmation identifies the supplied drive information clearly enough to prevent the license from being ordered for a different hardware or software configuration.
Verify the Result
Acceptance requires more than receiving a license quotation. Confirm that Siemens associates the approval with the specific 6RA7095 configuration, states whether the China manufacturing origin affects eligibility, and defines whether the license expires after operating hours or another time basis. The available information does not provide an activation procedure or a reliable on-drive status indication, so use the Siemens-supplied instructions and acceptance criteria for final commissioning.
FAQ
Can S00 be activated on a Simoreg DC-Master 6RA7095 made in China?
The available information does not establish that conclusively. A response says paid activation is possible, but the distributor’s China-origin warning requires unit-specific confirmation from Siemens.
What information does Siemens need to check S00 eligibility?
Provide the complete drive identification, manufacturing-origin marking, installed option hardware, intended application, main software release, displayed language, and the distributor quotation containing the warning.
Is the Simoreg S00 license permanent?
The supplied information describes it as time-limited rather than lifetime, but gives no exact duration. Obtain the validity period and expiration basis in writing before ordering.
