Warning notice system

This manual contains notices you have to observe in order to ensure your personal safety, as well as to prevent damage to property. The notices referring to your personal safety are highlighted in the manual by a safety alert symbol, notices referring only to property damage have no safety alert symbol. These notices shown below are graded according to the degree of danger.

DANGER

indicates that death or severe personal injury will result if proper precautions are not taken.

WARNING

indicates that death or severe personal injury may result if proper precautions are not taken.

CAUTION

indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken.

NOTICE

indicates that property damage can result if proper precautions are not taken.

If more than one degree of danger is present, the warning notice representing the highest degree of danger will be used. A notice warning of injury to persons with a safety alert symbol may also include a warning relating to property damage.

Qualified Personnel

The product/system described in this documentation may be operated only by personnel qualified for the specific task in accordance with the relevant documentation, in particular its warning notices and safety instructions.

Preface

SINUMERIK

You can find information on SINUMERIK under the following link: www.siemens.com/sinumerik

Target group

This documentation is intended for commissioning personnel.

The plant or system is readily assembled and wired. For the following steps, e.g. configuring the individual components,

the Commissioning Manual contains all necessary information or at least references.

Benefits

The intended target group can use the Commissioning Manual to test and commission the system or the plant correctly and safely.

Utilization phase: Setup and commissioning phase

Standard scope

This documentation only describes the functionality of the standard version. Additions or revisions made by the machine manufacturer are documented by the machine manufacturer.

Other functions not described in this documentation might be executable in the control. This does not, however, represent an obligation to supply such functions with a new control or when servicing.

For the sake of simplicity, this documentation does not contain all detailed information about all types of the product and cannot cover every conceivable case of installation, operation, or maintenance.

Preface

CompactFlash Cards

●Do not remove the memory card while it is being accessed. This can lead to damage of the memory card and the SINUMERIK as well as the data on the memory card.

●Insert the memory card carefully and the right way round into the memory card slot (observe indicators such as arrow or similar). This way you avoid mechanical damage to the memory card or the device.

●Only use memory cards that have been approved by Siemens for use with SINUMERIK. Even though SINUMERIK follows general industry standards for memory cards, it is possible that memory cards from some manufacturers will not function perfectly in this device or are not completely compatible with it (you can obtain information on compatibility from the memory card manufacturer or supplier).

●For further information on handling CompactFlash cards, please refer to the NCU manuals.

System overview

1.1System overview

NCU

The SINUMERIK Operate V4.x operating software is an integral component of the CNC software V4.x and can therefore run on an NCU 7x0.3. The NCU's CompactFlash card is the standard data carrier of the CNC software.

The SINUMERIK Operate operating software is started automatically when the NCU software boots and in the delivery state offers its standard functional scope, which depends on the actual NC and PLC configuration.

PCU

The SINUMERIK Operate operating software is supplied on DVD and must then be installed on the hard disk of the PCU. The operating software is automatically started when the controller boots.

PC

The SINUMERIK Operate operating software is supplied on DVD and can be installed in a freely selectable directory.

The following sections describe the expansions and adaptations that the machine manufacturer can make using the SINUMERIK Operate operating software.

References

For a description of the commissioning procedure for the SINUMERIK 840D sl controller, please refer to the following documentation:

System overview

1.2 System requirements

1.2System requirements

Overview

It is a requirement that all system components be fully mounted, installed and configured. Commissioning of the NC and PLC must have been completed. The PLC is in the "Run" condition.

●USB keyboard: Handles text input with upperand lower-case letters.

●Storage medium, e.g. USB FlashDrive and/or network connection: Handles data exchange with an external PC/PG.

Note

When you load user data with a USB FlashDrive, the data size must not be larger than 4 GB!

SINUMERIK Operate under Windows

You require the following software if you use SINUMERIK Operate under Windows:

●PCU 50.5: WinXP PCU basic software as of V1.2

●PC: Windows XP SP3 / Windows 7 operating system

Additional programs

●TextPad text editor: Used for the external creation and editing of XML and INI files in Windows. The program is available on the Internet at: http://www.textpad.com/

●WinSCP: Enables protected data transfer between different computers (NCU - PC). The program is available on the Internet at: http://winscp.net/eng/docs/lang:de

●RCS Commander: Permits the remote maintenance for machines with the SINUMERIK Operate operating software from a standard Windows PC.

●As of V4.5, the RCS Commander provides a special conversion function to transfer alarm texts of HMI Advanced or HMI Embedded to SINUMERIK Operate.

●System Network Center (SNC): Sets up the Ethernet connection of one or more TCUs to NCU/PCU.

2.1Data structure of SINUMERIK Operate

For SINUMERIK Operate, all files are saved on the CompactFlash card (NCU) or on the hard disk (PCU) or DVD (PC).

The file system is at the uppermost level:

●On the NCU in the "/System CF-Card/" directory

●On the PCU in the "F:\hmisl\" directory

●On the PC, the drive can be freely selected, e.g. "C:\Programs\siemens\sinumerik The directory structure comprises the following directories:

●addon

●compat (only PC/PCU)

●oem

●siemens

●user

These directories have essentially an identical structure.

Note

The files in the “siemens” directory represent the original status and cannot be modified!

Files, whose contents can be supplemented or modified, are available as templates (specimen files) in the following directories:

Files	Directory
Configuration files	/siemens/sinumerik/hmi/template/cfg
Text files	/siemens/sinumerik/hmi/template/lng

Before making any changes/supplements, these files should be copied into the /cfg or /lng in /oem/sinumerik/hmi/, /addon/sinumerik/hmi/ or /user/sinumerik/hmi/ directories.

/siemens/sinumerik/hmi/template/cfg and /siemens/sinumerik/hmi/template/lng Save the sample file in the "user" or "oem" directory - in the appropriate folder.

Note

As soon as the file is in the user-specific directory, the entries of this file have priority over the Siemens file. If an entry is missing in a user-specific file, the corresponding entry from the Siemens file is used instead.

You need to restart the operating software for the settings made in the file to take effect.

2.2 Editing files

2.2.2Editing a file externally

To create or edit an XML file on an external PC with Windows, use a text editor that supports the required "UTF-8" coding, e.g. "TextPad".

This means that you can enter or directly insert all characters of the unicode system without rewriting them using the keyboard.

If files with a different coding are saved, the special characters are not correctly displayed in the editor. In SINUMERIK Operate, there is no automatic conversion into the UTF-8 coding!!

Saving the XML file in UTF-8 coding

1.Select the "Save As" dialog box.

2.Set the character set to "UTF-8".

Entering comments in an XML file

If you are entering comments to explain a program, you must keep the following in mind:

●A comment always begins with the sequence: <!--

●A comment ends with the character string: -->

Example

<!-- Work offset: -->

Note

In the comment itself, you can never use two minus signs one right after the other!

Special characters

If you use characters in the text where the syntax of XML is of significance, then these must specifically formatted:

Special	Notation
characters
&	&
'	'
<	<
>	>
"	"

Comments in an ini file

If you enter a comment in an ini file, start the comment line with a semicolon.
