It is not recommended to import FP4 Backup into RevD System as FP4 system will have some aspect objects (due to new functionalities) which will be not present in RevD System.

Rule : System 800xA 5.1 Feature Pack 4 is a system feature pack to 800xA 5.1, and includes the corrections made in 800xA 5.1 RevC. The feature pack cannot be installed upon any later 5.1 revision than RevC.

So RevC Backup is possible to import in FP4 System.

Best Regards

"The feature pack cannot be installed upon any later 5.1 revision than RevC" - not quite correct.

You can transit from Rev "train" to FP "train"

e.g. the following single actions should work, but there are more paths for upgrade to FP train.

FP3 on RevC
FP4 on RevC
FP4RevD on RevD
FP4RevE on RevE

Hi Stefan
Thanks for inputs. With "feature pack" i meant feature pack 4. As FP4 cannot be installed on RevD System. As you rightly mentioned FP4RevD is required for RevD System.

Best Regards

Technically, FP4 (not FP4RevD or FP4RevE) is older than RevD and eligble for transfer to a more recent version.

However, FP have additions not existing in Rev which may throw errors.

However, the vast majority of stuff should fit.

Will try to dig up a better answer

we've discussed this internally: there is no formal OK to transfer data between a Rev and a FP system.

FP comes with additional features, e.g. additional alarm filtering methods. Bringing an alarm list or filter from FP "down to" Rev may give unpredictable results.

Then there are more differencies...

ABB does not recommend interchange of aspects between the Rev and FP strains.

For more help; please open a support call with your regional ABB support center.
