GENERAL CONVENTIONS
Following are a number of terms used in this document:
Controlis the 10 Series numerical control system with front panel and basic unit.
Front Panelis the machine/operator interface module. It has a monitor where all
messages are displayed and a keyboard for data inputs. It is connected
to the basic unit.
Basic Unitis the hardware-software unit that handles the machine functions. It is
connected to the front panel and the machine tool.
WARNINGS
For correct control operation, it is important to follow the information given in this manual. Take
particular care with topics bearing one of the mentions: WARNING, CAUTION or IMPORTANT,
which indicate the following types of information:
WARNING
CAUTION
IMPORTANT
Draws attention to facts or circumstances that may cause damage to the
control, to the machine or to operators.
Indicates information to be followed in order to avoid damage to equipment
in general.
Indicates information that must be followed carefully in order to ensure full
success of the application.
When installing 10 Series systems based on PROX-1635 CPU, some important rules must be
followed when installing the complete software or a complete system backup:
1) The minimum level of software release compatible with PROX-1635 CPU are:
E69 v7.3 Fix up 9 – E69 v7.4 Fix up 7 – E69 v.7.5 Fix up 4
2) The Fix up must be installed immediately after the main software release without
powering down or rebooting the CN
If such procedure is not accurately followed, the network drivers risk to be overwritten and it won’t
be possible to connect again with the WinNBI Setup.
In case the above mis-operation would have happened, in order to restore the network
communication it will be necessary to restore the network drivers using the E108 “CNC RecoveryDisk” floppy disk through the external floppy drive directly connected to the CNC.
After having installed the E108 disk, the network drivers will be restored and then, through the
WinNBI Setup, it will be possible to re-start the procedure.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
For security reasons, the software release is not installed on the hard disk when the system is
shipped to you. Therefore, the first operation you must perform on receipt of your system is to
install the software supplied with the machine.
Read carefully the instructions on the Operator Panel setup given in Appendix
C of this manual before proceeding to install the software release.
WARNING
NOTE:
There is no Operator Panel setup for the 10/110 and 10/510 systems
The first diskette in the kit contains a program for installing and backing up the system software
and the user data. You must run this program in order to install the software release but may also
use it for:
Saving the OEM release: to complete the application, the original equipment manufacturer (OEM)
may create diskettes containing the customised software release complete with configuration,
interface logic, options and fixups. Then the OEM can supply these diskettes to the end user,
which will use them to install the software or when a service intervention on the hard disk is
required. It is in fact advisable to clear the hard disk before relocating the machine. This way the
end user is forced to install the OEM release on receipt of the machine, thus ensuring the integrity
of the hard disk data;
Saving user data: the end user may save the part programs and user data contained in the user
disk. For a good system performance after technological programs have been set up, it is
advisable to back these programs up, reinstall the user disk and bootstrap the user disk and
confirm the bootstrap prompt. This procedure permits to recover fragmented files and optimise
their reallocation on the disk.
NOTE:
The control hard disk is divided into 4 logical partitions; C: and D: are system disks containing the
supplied software release.
E: disk is for User and contains all data generated by the User of the control except for part
program. F: disk is the User disk containing part program.
For disk partitions size and compatibility, see appendix A.

Installation Procedure
Installation Procedure
IMPORTANT
Release 7.5 CANNOT be installed on HDU smaller than 80 Mbytes.
IMPORTANT
To install release 7.5 not on a new control but on a machine with release 5.3
or lower, you must:
1) Back up user data (read this manual carefully to make sure there are
user data to be backed up before installing the new release).
2) Install the release as if the control were new.
3) Restore user data.
The installing procedure must be executed using the disks of the release 7.5.
The installation and back up procedure is very simple and is thoroughly guided: at each step the
system displays a prompt with the steps to follow.
1. If the CNC is equipped with a new hard disk, use the E107 initialisation floppy disk to partition it
(create partitions C,D,E and F).
2. Before switching the system on, insert the first diskette in the disk drive (floppy A).
3. Switch the system on. The following screen will appear, asking for the language in which
prompts will be displayed during installation/back up.
1)EnglishLanguage
2)ItalianLanguage
3)GermanLanguage
4)FrenchLanguage
5)SpanishLanguage
Type your choice and press ENTER [ ]
or press ESC to exit

Installation Procedure
3. After the language choice has been made, the system displays the following menu of
operations.
1)Install
2)Backup
3)Reset fixed disk to ship
Type your choice and press ENTER [ ]
or press ESC to exit
The meaning of each operation is as follows:
1. Installs the release or backs up the one created with selection 2.
2. Creates a system back up.
3. If the machine is transported elsewhere, the contents of the hard disk may be corrupted.
Therefore, to guarantee a correct machine start-up, you must delete all system and user data
stored in the hard disk and completely re-install the release after the machine has been
positioned in its new location. This option clears the hard disk.
IMPORTANT
With selection 3, all the data and the programs stored in the hard disk will
be deleted. For security reasons only use it before relocating the machine.

Chapter 1
Installation Procedure
Installing the Release
If you select the first option (Install), the system prompts you to select the type of installation
required, with the following screen.
During installation, the program checks for compatibility between the selected type and the
contents of the back up diskettes. If there is no compatibility, an error message will be displayed.
1)Complete installation
2)Install Release
Type your choice and press ENTER [ ]
or press ESC to exit
The meaning of each selection is as follows:
1 With this selection, the program formats the C,D,E and F partitions of the hard disk, and installs
the release or the backup. The hard disk must have been partitioned beforehand with option
E107.This selection is convenient both when the OEM receives a new control and must install
its system software release, and when the end user receives the machine tool and must install
the release supplied by the manufacturer.
2 With this selection, the program installs all the system files and initialises only the system disks
(C: and D:). The data stored in user disks E: and F: will not be altered. This selection is
mandatory when the release installed on a control or a machine tool must be updated.

Installation Procedure
Installing Fixup and Options
When release is installed, the program offers the possibility to install options or fixups that are not
standard with the system by displaying the following message:
Do you want to install any option or fixup?
Press ENTER to confirm, ESC to exit
If the [Enter] key is pressed the system will display the following message:
Insert option or fixup floppy number 1
Press ENTER to confirm, ESC to exit
If the [Enter] key is pressed, the program starts to install the contents of the diskette in the drive. If
the [Esc] key is pressed, the installation procedure will be aborted.

Installation Procedure
Backing-up the Release
If you have selected 2 (backup) the procedure requests you to choose a type of back from the
following menu.
1)Backup all the control
2)Backup system disk
3)Backup user disk
Type your selection and press ENTER [ ]
or press ESC to exit
The meaning of each selection is as follows:
1 With this selection, the program backs up the system files (disks C: and D:) and, if they exist,
the user disk files (E: and F:). It is this selection that permits the OEM to create their own
release with the control configured and custom prepared for a specific machine tool. The OEM
can then deliver the set of diskettes obtained from this operation to the end user.
2 With this selection, the program backs up system files only. It can be used by the manufacturer
that is building similar machines, i.e. with the same release, fixups and options but with different
characterisations (AMP and PLUS). In this case, the manufacturer may back up the control
system disks that contain only the basic release and the options. Later the OEM can use
selection 3 to back up the specific characterisation of each machine.
3 With this selection, the program opens a data entry for the user to back up user disks.
If you want to back up the user area of a system with a previous release in
IMPORTANT
order to download this back up on a machine with release 7.5, you need to
start the back up from the first diskette of release 7.5. Thus a back up version
appropriate is generated and can be installed on any system with such a
release 7.5.
The user can back up the user disk or the part program disk or both (if the system features an 80
Mb HDU).
1-610 Series CNC Software Installation Manual (17)
If you select 3, the following data entry will be displayed:
BACKUPPING USER DISK
Press ENTER to confirm, ESC to skip
Then the following prompt will be displayed:
BACKUPPING PART PROGRAM DISK
Press ENTER to confirm, ESC to skip
After you press [Enter], only the selected disks will be backed up.
Chapter 1
Installation Procedure
To make a back up copy you need a set of diskettes. They can be new (and unformatted) or used
(and contain data you no longer need). In any case, they are always reformatted by the system
before back up starts. NEVER use the original diskettes supplied with the release for back up
purposes.
The number of diskettes needed for this operation varies with the configuration.
The program prompts you to insert the diskettes on which the back up will be copied starting from
the second diskette. The first diskette will be requested at the end of the back up, because it
contains all the information needed for subsequent restore, such as diskette numbers and file
allocations. Therefore, pay particular attention to the displayed prompts as well as to labels
attached to each diskette.
If the disks are new (unformatted) or they contain data, they must be reformatted before the
execution of the backup.
IMPORTANT
If during the back up operation the program finds that a file in the user
disk cannot be compressed to a single diskette, it will display a warning.
When this happens, use the DOS SHELL backup utility to save these
files.
IMPORTANT
When files are backed up with the DOS SHELL utility, files are not
compressed. Therefore, the number of diskettes you need to backup your
disk may be considerably higher.

Installation Procedure
Installing the Macros
In order to use the macros, the files present in the PMM directory of partition E must be transferred
to the work directory of partition F which contains the machining part programs.
This operation is to be performed using the DOS SHELL utility.

OSAI SECURITY
GENERALITIES
“OSAI Security” is an application that supplies a number of functionalities for the
installation/fixup/options of the release and the saving/restore of the present data of the 10 Series
Numeric Control through a remote PC, connected via Ethernet.
The application “OSAI Security” is part of the software package WinNBI (kit 93000494G), that
includes all the interface sections that can be used for the CNC configuration, the control of the
bootstrap phases and of the working phases of the piece.
The basic functionalities offered by the new program “OSAI Security” are similar to the ones that
can be found in the installation program on 10 Series system and in “Remote Setup” E103 option.
The option E103 “Remote Setup cannot be used from E69 v7.1 Software Release onwards. The
application “OSAI Security” can be used with Software Release E69 v.7.1 including Fixup 1 (orfollowing ones). OSAI Security substitutes the Remote Setup for all the CNC that are provided
with E69 v.7.1.1 or following versions.
In any case the compatibility of the files of the previous releases saved with the “Remote setup” is
guaranteed by a function that converts them in a format that is compatible with “Osai Security”.

Functionalities
The application “OSAI Security” allows the following operations:
• Release installation, fixup and options
• Partitions saving
• Partitions restore
Preliminary operations
No particular operation must be done on the CNC, you just have to bootstrap it. Infact the CNC’s
hard disk is already divided into partitions and the partition C is already loaded for the connection
via Ethernet in order to communicate with the Security.
New hard disk installed
If the control should have a newly installed hard disk (usually this happens when substituted
because broken) you will have to use the initialising floppy (E107 ”CNC Init Disk”) that executes the
following operations:
1) Creates 4 partions C, D, E, F.
2) Formats the partitions C, D and E (the partition F is formatted while installing the base
software)
3) Loads the partition C with the necessary software in order to execute the first bootstrap and the
connection via Ethernet to communicate with the Security
The operations for the initialisation of the whole hard disk are:
1) Insert Floppy E107 “CNC Init Disk” in the floppy drive of the CNC
2) Bootstrap the CNC
3) Wait for the visual and acoustic message that signals the end of the operations
After these operations all the disks of the CNC will be initialised and after
WARNING
having turned the CNC on and OFF, the net name of the CNC will be
“NCLOAD”.

Capitolo 2
Osai Security
Impossibility of connecting the CNC through the net
This situation should never occur. If the original configuration of net protocol and the name of CNC
is unique the CNC should always be visible in Ethernet with the NetBEui protocol.
After having verified that the cables are connected properly, the configuration of the communication
protocols, the unique name of the CNC, you may hypothesise that the files that allow the CNC to
connect to the net (installed on disk C) are damaged and so it is necessary to restore them.
The necessary operations to restore CNC software are:
1) insert Floppy E108 “CNC Recovery Disk” in the floppy drive of the CNC
2) turn on the CNC
3) wait for the visual and acoustic message that signals the end of the operations
WARNING
After having turned the CNC ON and OFF, the net name of the CNC will be
“NCLOAD”.
After these operations only the disk C will be initialised. The user’s data will
not be cancelled.
