Customizing configuration files

Customize the VDogUploadSinumerikOperate.ini file

In this file, you adjust the machine-specific settings of the SINUMERIK Operate plugin. In the octoplant setup folder ../tools you will find the VDogUploadSinumerikOperate.ini file. Copy this to a new directory. You can customize the file there.

The following keys are currently supported in the [server] section:

Key Description Possible values
address Enter the IP address of the HMI that runs via connections of the plugin.0.0.0.0 means that any IP address is allowed. x.x.x.x The default value is 0.0.0.0
port The plugin uses this port for communication with octoplant. The port must be changed if the default port is already in use. This port must also be enabled. 0-65535 The default value is42000.
password The password is required to increase the access level on the NC. (The access level manufact is required to create the IBN archive during operation. The password can be entered here).

Example

[Server]
address=0.0.0.0
port=42000

Customize the systemconfiguration.ini file

This file is used by the HMI system to integrate plugins (Add-ons) into the HMI. The plugin is only loaded by the HMI if the corresponding plugin files are listed here. Accordingly, the entries can be removed again to deactivate the plugin.

The systemconfiguration.ini file can be found in the /addon/sinumerik/hmi/cfg directory.

  • If the file does not exist, you can copy it directly from the octoplant setup tools folder to the target without making any changes.
  • If the file exists, it must be supplemented with the new entries.

Procedure

  1. Create the [dialogs] section if it does not yet exist.
  2. Check whether the key DLG4221 is already assigned.
    • If a key is already assigned, select the next higher, free key (e.g. DLG4221 then becomes DLG4225).
    • Transfer the keys under the [dialogs] section from the systemconfiguration.ini file in the octoplant Setup Tools folder.
