Container — Siemens.mc.drives.acx.model.configuration Data.package
The siemens.mc.drives.acx.model.configuration data.package container is far more than a cryptic internal identifier—it is a powerful, standardized encapsulation of drive intelligence. For the motion control engineer, mastering this container means:
Next time you export a Sinamics drive configuration or browse the internal structure of a TIA Portal library, remember: inside that container lies the complete, reproducible soul of your drive system—cleanly packaged, version-ready, and waiting to be leveraged.

siemens.mc.drives.acx.model.configuration data.package container The siemens
represents a structured, XML-based container used in Siemens SINAMICS DriveSim Designer for Digital Twins. This data structure encapsulates drive hardware, parameterization, and motor data, enabling simulation of motion control behavior without physical hardware. You can find more information about this in the Siemens documentation for DriveSim Designer.
Engineers often encounter errors related to this data package. Here is how to interpret them:
| Error Message | Root Cause | Solution |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| ACX inconsistency: Version mismatch | The container was created with TIA v17, but target project is v15. | Export container in legacy format or upgrade the project. |
| Data package container: Missing topology | The container references a drive object (e.g., "Drive_3") that doesn't exist in the hardware configuration. | Use the "Reset topology from actual configuration" wizard. |
| Model.configuration invalid: p0922 | The telegram (communication standard) defined in the container does not match the controller's configured telegram. | Check PROFIdrive interface in both PLC and drive. |
| Container checksum error | The file was corrupted during transfer (e.g., USB drive removal while writing). | Re-export the container from the original source project. | Next time you export a Sinamics drive configuration
| Issue | Prevention |
|-------|-------------|
| Firmware mismatch | Always embed required FW version inside the package |
| Missing motor data | Validate that p0300 and p0304–p0311 are present |
| Communication loss after download | Include the PROFINET device name & IP within the package |

If you are using Openness or Libs No Engine to automate your engineering (generating 50 identical drive configurations), you will directly reference this container path in your C# or Python script to instantiate the drive type. Standard documentation for the package
Represents a single parameter (e.g., Parameter 1300 = 50.5).
