General; Separation Of Dnc Admin And Dnc - Siemens Sinumerik 840D sl Function Manual

DNC Plant/DNC Cell (FBDN1)
10 Configuration

10.1 General

Configuration should only be carried out by authorized users. Definitions and
configurations can/must be carried out in the following areas:

Definition of station name and type (for DNC Plant only)

Plant structure (software simulation of the plant topology)

Machine connections (type of machine interface)

Screen definitions for the NC data properties and the import

List definition

Parameters for the dialog function

User-specific data (access and display definition; see also: Chapter 5)
The "DNC Admin" program is available for most configurations. Only a small
amount of configuration work can be carried out in DNC (e.g. creating and
changing filters and NC data).

10.2 Separation of DNC Admin and DNC

10.2.1 General
DNC Admin and DNC are independent of each other to prevent unintentional
changes being made to the DNC configuration. Separating these two programs
ensures that the user explicitly chooses to configure the plant. DNC is easier to use
as a result of the configuration functions being removed.
DNC Admin should only be used by authorized personnel, whereas DNC can be
used by anyone from administrators to assistants.
Note
DNC Admin is also available to other users. Users must be assigned
authorizations on an individual basis in order to determine which functions they
are permitted to use. See also: Chapter 5 "User administration".
Some configurations that are performed in DNC Admin, only take effect when
DNC is restarted!
Although, at first sight, the two programs look very similar, they contain different
functions.
