2.1 Data structure of SINUMERIK Operate
For SINUMERIK Operate, all files are saved on the CompactFlash card (NCU) or to the hard
disk (PCU/IPC) or DVD (PC).
The file system is at the uppermost level:
● On the NCU in the "/System CF-Card/" directory
● On the PCU/IPC in the directory "C:\Program Files (x86)\Siemens\MotionControl"
● On the PC, the drive can be freely selected, e.g. "C:\Programs\siemens\sinumerik
The directory structure comprises the following directories:
● addon
● compat (PC/PCU/IPC only)
● oem
● siemens
● user
These directories have essentially an identical structure.
Note
The files in the "siemens" directory represent the original status and cannot be modified!
Files, whose contents can be supplemented or modified, are available as templates (specimen
files) in the following directories:
Files
Configuration files
Text files
Before making any changes/supplements, these files should be copied into the /cfg or /lng in /
oem/sinumerik/hmi/, /addon/sinumerik/hmi/ or /user/sinumerik/hmi/ directories.
