Integrating SINUMERIK 840D HMI Advanced projects

Create a component and integrate the archive of the SINUMERIK controller that was created with the Siemens HMI. A SINUMERIK controller archive usually contains the following data:

  • HMI
  • NC data
  • loadable compile cycles
  • PLC data
  • Profibus drives

Info

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

Integrating SINUMERIK controller data for disaster recovery and detailed comparison

For a later restoration and for a detailed comparison, save additional data of the SINUMERIK controller from the ARC archive separately. This requires additional components.

  • 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, save the project in the existing SINUMERIK component or in a component with the SIMATIC S7 component type. In the SINUMERIK component, create a separate subdirectory for the S7 project.
