Integrating projects

Create a component and integrate the archive of the SINUMERIK controller that was created with the Siemens HMI in it. A SINUMERIK controller archive usually contains the following data: The HMI, the NC data, loadable compile cycles, the PLC data and the Profibus drives.

Info

The file names of the files in the NC archive must not be longer than 49 characters and should not contain any special characters except "_" (underscore).

Integrating SINUMERIK controller data for disaster recovery and detailed comparison

For a later restore and for a detailed comparison, you should save additional data of the SINUMERIK controller from the ARC archive separately. Additional components are required for this.

  • Integrate the data of the PCU ([Partition] :\DH directory) in a component with the Binary component type.
  • Backup the CF card of the NCU e.g. with Drive Snapshot or Acronis and integrate it in a component with the Binary component type.
  • Backup the file Basesys.ini of the NCU using SSH connection and integrate it in a component with the WindowsINI component type.
  • If you have the S7 project for your SINUMERIK controller, you can save the project in the existing SINUMERIK component or in a component with the SIMATIC S7 component type. In the SINUMERIK component, you should create a separate subdirectory for the S7 project.
