Page 13: System Overview
System overview Overview The HMI sl V2.5 software is an integral component of the NCU V2.5 software and can thus run on the NCUs 7x0.2. Visualization and operation is handled via a SINUMERIK operation panel (e.g., OP 012, TP 015AT, OP 08T, HT 8), which is connected via TCU (Thin Client Unit) to the NCU (Numerical Control Unit).

Page 225: Introduction
Introduction General Since the 1990s, Microsoft have put considerable effort into satisfying global demands for information processing and software development. In addition to supporting as many languages as possible, one of the aims was to be able to support all languages with the same uniform operating system, as opposed to the language-specific versions of operating systems which were used before.
Page 226: Language Families
Introduction 1.3 Language families • The text file is to be coded using this code page, not as a Unicode file. • The text should be generated as simply as possible: in particular, this means that if possible, no additional software should have to be installed. •...
Page 227: Tools
Introduction 1.4 Tools Operating system and target language from the same language family If the language of the operating system (e.g., German) belongs to the same language family as the target language (e.g., Portuguese), then some difficulties could possibly occur with the input of certain characters.
Page 228: Terms
Introduction 1.5 Terms Terms Code page A list of characters which forms the character set for one or more languages. A code which is unique within this code page is assigned to each of the characters in the list. All of the code pages used in Windows share the ASCII range (codes 0 to 127). A distinction is made between single-byte code pages and multiple-byte code pages.
Page 229 Introduction 1.5 Terms Language family A language family is a group of languages which uses the same code page. This requires the use of the same basic alphabet (e.g., Latin or Cyrillic), but it does not mean that the alphabet of all languages of this group is the same. There is a 1:1 assignment between Windows code page and language family.

Page 257: Problems And Remedies
Problems and remedies Keyboard assignment switches unintentionally Problem: The keyboard occasionally switches to a different assignment while text is being entered, without this being explicitly requested. Remedy: Check whether the option for automatic keyboard switching is set as described in Section "Multi-language Word files".
Page 258 Problems and remedies • If the texts in question are East Asian texts, check the coding of the non-Asian characters. See Section "Special considerations when working with East Asian texts". If full-width characters have been used for functional characters, replace them with the corresponding ASCII variants.

Page 283: Service Commands
Service Commands Using service commands Overview The service command 'sc' is a tool used for performing a range of service tasks on a SINUMERIK NCU. The required action is written in the command line after the 'sc', e.g.: sc help This action produces a list of all actions with a short description.
Page 284: Syntax For The Actions
Service Commands 3.2 Syntax for the Actions Example: An action with the privilege level 'user' can also always be executed by members of the groups 'service' and 'manufact'. Actions with privilege level ‘none’ can be called by all users. If a user does not have the required privileges, the following error message is output: Action 'ACTION' needs at least GROUP privilege level.
Page 285: Generic Elements
Subsystem names are entered when using "sc enable" and "sc start", for example. In most cases, the name of the subsystem is simply the name of the corresponding CFS, without the path and without the extension ".cfs". For example, for the CFS /siemens/sinumerik/nck.cfs, the relevant subsystem name is simply "nck".
Page 286 Service Commands 3.3 Generic elements For this reason, only administrators are permitted to set up NFS file systems, and NFS is usually only implemented in uniformly administrated environments. Exported file systems on the server are addressed directly on the server via their path. CFS (Compressed File System) A CFS (file extension ".cfs") is a compressed file system, similar to a zip file.
Page 287: Description Of The Actions
CFS containing it, without the '.cfs' extension. This enables all CFSs with that name, but you can also use a full path (e.g. /siemens/sinumerik/nck) to enable just a specific CFS. Another form is to enable the DHCP server on a network interface, for example 'enable DHCPSvr -X120'.

Service Commands 3.4 Description of the actions 3.4.2 Check-cf Description Syntax: sc check-df Alternative names: checkcf Privilege level: user With this action, the CF card is checked reading to see whether it contains defective sectors. If errors occur, this is noted in the file /var/log/messages. 3.4.3 Clear Description...
Page 289: Closeport
Service Commands 3.4 Description of the actions 3.4.4 Closeport Description Syntax: sc closeport ID Alternative names: Privilege level: service Mode of operation This command closes a port in the firewall opened previously with the "sc openport" command. This is only necessary when the port is to be closed manually before the time set with "sc openport"...
Page 290 Service Commands 3.4 Description of the actions Supported file systems Two types of remote file system are supported: Windows SMB and Unix NFS. These two systems have completely different characteristics, particularly in terms of user administration: ● In Windows SMB, you connect to the server as a particular user that the server must recognize.
Page 291: Disable
Service Commands 3.4 Description of the actions After the entry of the remote file system, you can also specify the required directory ('MOUNTPOINT') in which the remote files will become visible locally. This should be an empty directory to which you have write access. If MOUNTPOINT is omitted, 'sc' itself generates a suitable directory.
Page 292: Disconnect
Service Commands 3.4 Description of the actions The commands "sc enable" and "sc disable" function by changing certain variables in the file /user/system/etc/basesys.ini. In subsystems, this variable is "DisableSubsystems", in DHCPSvr "DisableDHCPD<INTERFACE>". 3.4.7 Disconnect Description Syntax: sc disconnect MOUNTPOINT sc disconnect all Alternative names: umount, unmount Privilege level:...
Page 293: Enable
Service Commands 3.4 Description of the actions Note This command can be performed on any machine in the system network, not only on the active server. A message is always sent to the active server. 3.4.9 Enable Description Syntax: sc enable hmi|nck|SUBSYSTEM ... sc enable DHCPSvr -INTERFACE sc enable DHCPSync [-X120] [-PRIORITY] sc enable IPAlias [-X120] IPADDR[/NETMASK]...
Page 294: Openport
Service Commands 3.4 Description of the actions The priorities have the following effect for the synchronization of the DHCP server: ● MASTER: The computer node is defined as master, i.e. the computer becomes the active DHCP server. If several masters have been configured in the system network, this computer has the highest priority.
Page 295: Restart
Service Commands 3.4 Description of the actions If the specification of the source host is completely missing, this is normally acknowledged with an error message. However, an exception is when the "sc openport" command is entered in a shell opened via SSH. The permitted host is taken from the environment variable $SSH_CLIENT that contains the IP of the SSH client.

● The options -addon, -oem, -user, -addon+ and -oem+ also allow you to unpack only parts of an archive. ● The -update option is used for loading software updates supplied by Siemens. The - restart option can also be useful with -update. If user-defined system files are changed when loading an archive, a restart or reinitialization is necessary.

Page 311: Glossary
Glossary CFS (Compressed File System) A CFS (file extension ".cfs") is a compressed file system, similar to a zip file. It contains files and subdirectories that look like normal files on the controller at runtime. Files and directories contained in a CFS cannot be changed. They are decompressed at runtime as required. Network interface The network interface is an interface that enables network communication.
