Installing the SINUMERIK ONE plugin

You can install the plugin either on an NCU (internal HMI on Unix) or a PCU (external HMI on Windows).

Installation on the NCU

You can find the required installation files in the Tools/Sinumerik/ONE subdirectory of the octoplant setup. There is a separate subdirectory for each version.

  1. Copy the following files from the setup to the /card/addon/sinumerik/hmi/appl directory on the HMI:

    • libVDogUploadSinumerikOperate.so
    • vdoguploadsinumerikoperatedialog.hmi

  2. Copy the VDogUploadSinumerikOperate.ini file from the Setup (/Tools/Sinumerik) to /card/addon/sinumerik/hmi/cfg/ and adapt it to your device.

  3. Modify the systemconfiguration.ini file under/addon/sinumerik/hmi/cfg/ on the HMI.
  4. Enable the port in the firewall.

  5. Modify the basesys.ini file in the /card/user/system/etc/ directory on the HMI to enable the port in the firewall. Use the port that you have set in the VDogUploadSinumerikOperate.ini file. The default port is 42000.

    Example:

    [LinuxBase]
[...]
FirewallOpenPorts="TCP/5900 TCP/5901 TCP/102 TCP/42000"
[...]

  6. Restart the machine after this change.

Installation on the PCU

  1. Exit the HMI application.

  2. Copy the following files to {Drive}:\{Installation directory}\Siemens\MotionControl\addon\sinumerik\hmi\appl .

    • VDogUploadSinumerikOperate.dll
    • vdoguploadsinumerikoperatedialog.hmi

    Example:

    • C:\Program Files\Siemens\MotionControl\addon\sinumerik\hmi\appl
    • Copy the VDogUploadSinumerikOperate.ini file to {Drive}:\{Installation directory}\Siemens\MotionControl\addon\sinumerik\hmi\cfg and adapt it to your device.
    • Modify the systemconfiguration.ini file in the /addon/sinumerik/hmi/cfg directory.
    • Enter the run_hmi.exe file in the firewall and activate it so that the octoplant server or Upload agent is able to communicate with the plugin. The file can be found in the {Drive}:\{Installation directory}\Siemens\MotionControl\Siemens\sinumerik\hmi\autostart directory.

  3. Restart the HMI application.
