This software can directly replace

• All pre-releases of 15.610 and 15.208
• All software releases 15.607, 15.608, 15.609 and 15.205, 15.206, 15.207

Solved problem
• Emergency STOP supervision for long ramp times
• Main contactor off time delay of 3-phase field exciter units
• Start synchronization outside the limits 49.5...61 Hz
• LED panel parameter selection (18.1) is lost after power down
• F33 for field currents above 165 A

This software is released for:

• DCS 600 armature converter modules and DCA 600 enclosed
• DCF 600 Field supplies and DCA 620 enclosed for motor field application
• Operation with FEX-1, FEX-2, DCF 503, DCF 504, DCF 506
• Communcation to APC (YPQ 112) and Advant (AC70, AC80, FCI)
• 12-Pulse parallel, serial and sequential configuration
• DCR 600 Rebuild kits
• Fieldbus communication with Profibus V2.2; Modbus Plus V1.3; CS31 V1.5
• AC80 Modulebus link: OK; Drivebus link:maximum two datasets per ACS RX
block

This software is also released for beta tests

• Rebuild with converter fan monitoring PW 1002 / PW 1003

• External zero current detection CZD-01 (MG SET field exciter)

Revision History
The difference between 15.609 to 15.610 is:
• a new control input for DC Break trip (current rise detection)
• a new alarm * for missing Acknowledge, DC Breaker, Dynamic Brake
• Temperature Alarm Level 5°C below Fault Level
* in the combination 15.208/15.609, the alarm displays a <undefined Alarm> (9.05 bit 15)
