Use this checklist when a search result opens a manual for a similar code, when a spare has a different number after the decimal, or when a fault reference names a different firmware release.
Technical reference / manual applicability
Match an Indramat Manual to Your Nameplate
A familiar family name on a manual cover is only the first check. Hardware design, configuration and document edition determine whether its tables and instructions apply to the unit in your machine. Keep the nameplate and the document identification together.
Record the complete hardware identity
- Copy the complete type code, including decimal points, leading zeroes, slashes and suffixes. Keep material and serial numbers as separate fields.
- Photograph the equipment label and any configuration, option-module and software-module labels. A basic-unit label alone may not identify a configured drive assembly.
- Record the connected motor, supply and controller where relevant. A matching housing or family prefix does not establish a compatible system.
Compare the manual cover and scope
- Check the document number, full title, edition or publication date, and the hardware designations explicitly covered by the manual.
- A DDS02.2 / DDS03.2 planning reference does not establish DDS02.1 ratings. An ECODRIVE03 DKC .3 reference does not establish DKC .1 configuration details.
- Even when the design number matches, compare the current and voltage fields and named platform against the document type-code format.
- Use the model-specific tables and their operating conditions. A family option list does not mean every current, cooling, feedback or mechanical combination exists.
Separate planning data from fault information
- Project-planning documents describe selection and integration within their stated scope. A troubleshooting guide or diagnostic index is a different kind of reference.
- For fault information, match the firmware family and release as well as the hardware. Record the exact displayed code and any preceding symptoms.
- A library record, excerpt or contents index may help locate a document without containing the instructions needed for a service decision.
Keep unresolved matches visible in your request
- If the manufacturer link requires sign-in or the edition cannot be confirmed, send the document number and cover image with the equipment label.
- State what you need: identification, a current availability check, replacement review or repair evaluation. Include the machine, axis and fault history.
- Litco reviews the actual configuration before confirming a proposed part or service scope. A manual match alone does not confirm stock, condition or interchangeability.
Do not assume
- Do not transfer ratings from a different design generation.
- Do not treat a diagnostic index as a complete repair procedure.
- Do not remove hardware or open energized equipment to obtain a better label photo; follow your facility procedures.
Common questions
What this checklist can and cannot establish.
Does the same family prefix make a manual applicable?
No. Compare the complete hardware design, document scope and edition. For diagnosis, match the firmware family and release too.
What should I send if I cannot confirm the edition?
Send the complete equipment label, document number or cover image, software and module labels where relevant, and the machine context. Mark unreadable characters rather than guessing.

The suffix can change electrical and mechanical compatibility. Include every character and a clear nameplate photo.
