| Error | Likely Cause | Solution | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | Wrong IP or PROFIBUS address. | Ping the IP in CMD. For PROFIBUS, check termination resistors. | | "License not available" | License manager corrupted. | Re-run the "Automation License Manager" from Start menu and re-instate the license file (.alf). | | "Online: Device mismatch" | Firmware of the drive newer than STARTER v5.4 supports. | Upgrade to STARTER v5.5 or downgrade drive firmware (rare). | | "Could not load DCC chart" | Drive Control Chart compiled for newer DCC version. | In STARTER, go to Drive → DCC → Recompile. | | Windows 10: Crash on save | UI display driver conflict. | Disable "Siemens HMI symbol rendering" under STARTER options → Graphics → Use OpenGL. |
