SINUMERIK Operate 2.6 SP1 HF3 for PCU 50.3
_________________________________________________________________________________________
SINUMERIK Operate 2.6 SP1 HF3 (02.06.01.03.008) for PCU 50.3
_________________________________________________________________________________________
A PCU 50.3 with already installed PCU base software WinXP from V8.6 SP1 is required in order to install this
software.
The Commissioning Instructions for SINUMERIK Operate 2.6 SP1, PCU base software 8.6 SP1, the Equipment
Manual for the operator components and the SINUMERIK Operate 2.6 SP1 apply Operating Instructions.
Further, the secondary conditions published for the CNC software 2.6 SP1 HF3 must be carefully observed.
The start-up tool comprises all texts in German, English, French, Italian, Spanish and "Chinese simplified". In
general, the help for setting and machine data is only provided in German and English.
SINUMERIK Operate 2.6 SP1 has only been released for operating a 840D sl NCU7x0 with CNC Software 2.6
SP1 HF3 resp. for a SIMATIC-CPU 317 / 319 in combination with HMI Pro sl..
For this, the PCU 50.3 must be integrated in the plant / system network. By default, the SINUMERIK Operate is
connected to the NCU address 192.168.214.1. The NCU address can be set in the "NCU connection" screen
under Commissioning / HMI.
This unit cannot be switched over online to another NCU (1:n).
Important note for laboratory operation: When connecting the PCU 50.3 to the X130 of the NCU, the simulation
cannot be executed.
The HMI-Advanced software 7.6 (or later) is still required for commissioning drives.
This is the reason that SINUMERIK Operate 2.6 SP1 and HMI-Advanced 7.6 SP1 can be installed in parallel on
a PCU 50.3. However, only one of the two HMIs can be started. The last installed HMI is automatically started
when the PCU 50.3 boots. If required, this can be changed in the ServiceCenter Users on the WinXP desktop.
The SINUMERIK Operate for PCU 50.3 does not include any technological cycles 2.6 or measuring and ISO
cycles 2.6. These are available on the CF card of the NCU and automatically installed during the NCU startup –
see also the relevant information provided in the Upgrade Instructions for the CNC Software 2.6 SP1.
It is not permissible that cycles 7.x are installed!
User texts must always be downloaded into the system in the UTF-8 format.
SINUMERIK Operate for PCU 50.3 does not have a general access to the CF card of the NCU. This means that
option "256 MB user memory on CF card of the NCU" cannot be used.
The "Local drive" in SINUMERIK Operate for PCU 50.3 is located on the hard disk under
F:\hmisl\user\sinumerik\data and is always available without option.
The integration of STEP7 5.4 for SINUMERIK PCU 50.3 is also possible for SINUMERIK Operate. However, it is
not automatically integrated in the area menu using the desk top function "Step7 authorization" which is the case
for HMI-Advanced. Instead, this must be manually done. To do this, after installing Step7 from the directory
F:\hmisl\siemens\sinumerik\hmi\template\step7 – the file oemframe.ini must be copied into the directory
F:\hmisl\compat\add_on - and the files systemconfiguration.ini and slamconfig.ini must be copied into the
directory F:\hmisl\addon\sinumerik\hmi\cfg. The HMI should then be restarted.
In the file "systemconfiguration.ini", the installation path is provided for Step7 with F:\STEP7. If the installation
path deviates from this, this must be adapted in the "systemconfiguration.ini".
The ePS client software V2.6 is included in the SINUMERIK Operate for PCU 50.3. It can be activated using the
display MD 9108 ENABLE_EPS_SERVICES.
