Migration of existing systems

Retrofitting services

■Overview

The following contract conditions apply to all services (standard or supplementary services) provided in the context of a migra- tion:

•The services are based on the conditions of the "General instal- lation conditions"

•The application software will be converted 1:1, i.e. from a source AS system into a target AS system in each case, with- out analysis of the functionality of the existing system software

•The work will be carried out within normal working hours (Mon- day to Friday, 9 hours daily)

•The customer must ensure by means of appropriate measures that the wall housing or the front and rear of the AS cabinets or racks are freely accessible for the conversion work

•Travel costs will be charged in addition

•To support smooth conversion, the details resulting from the "Checklist for migration" must be clarified in advance, and the required information provided

•The replaced basic units/systems or the central components, i.e. the licensed components of the automation system, must be returned to Siemens AG.

Conversion, transmission and adaptation of the application soft- ware as well as the conversion measures on site will be carried out by:
