Configuring jobs for Siemens SINUMERIK Operate

  1. Create a job with the SINUMERIK Operate upload type.

  2. Go to the SINUMERIK Operate settings section.

    Figure: Job configuration, SINUMERIK Operate settings section

  3. In the Name of the archive field, enter the name of the archive that will be created by the job. The file extension of the archive must be .ARC. If there is a version of the archive in the component that is to be compared with the job result, both archives must have the same name. A serial commissioning archive (SIBN archive) is always created when the job is executed.

  4. In the Device field, enter the name or IP address of the HMI targeted by the job.

  5. In the Port field, select the port that octoplant will use to communicate with the plugin. This must correspond to the port of the plugin.

  6. Go to the Backup section.

  7. Select NC to back up NC data in the SIBN archive.

  8. Select With compensation data to back up compensation data in the SIBN archive.

    Info

    We recommend always backing up the compensation data together with the NC data. If there is collision model data on the memory card of the controller, this should also be saved with the NC data.

  9. Select Loadable compile cycles to back up compiled cycles in the SIBN archive.

  10. Select PLC to backup S7 data in the SIBN archive.
  11. Select With S7 comparison to compare S7 data in the archive.
    This requires that a suitable S7 project has been versioned in the Sinumerik component and that the folder /PLC/* has been excluded in the comparator configuration for SINUMERIK 840D.
  12. In the S7 program path field, enter the path to the S7 program.
  13. In the CPU Rack field, enter the rack in which the S7 CPU is installed.

  14. In the CPU slot field, enter the slot in which the S7 CPU is installed.

    !!! info

    The rack and slot numbers must match between the online project and the versioned offline project.

  15. Select Drive data, to save the drive data in the SIBN archive.

  16. Select HMI, to save the HMI data in the SIBN archive.

    Info

    This data can be very large. We therefore recommend backing up this data with a separate job.

  17. Select Data on the flashcard.

    If the HMI is running on the NCU, you can back up data from the flash card:

    To ensure that the contents of the flash card are also backed up, enter the paths on the flash card, which are to be backed up. Example: Path to the compile cycles /Card/oem/sinumerik/data/cc. Different paths can be separated by a semicolon.

    If the HMI is running on a PCU, you can only back up data from the file system of the HMI:

    To back up the contents of the folders, enter the paths of the file system that are to be backed up.

  18. Go to the Backup conditions section.

  19. Select All channels in 'Reset' to show a warning in the job results if any channels were not in reset during job execution.

  20. Select No tool in spindle to show a warning in the job results if a tool was present in the spindle during job execution.
