Configuration File Netnames.ini; Structure Of The Configuration File - Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl Function Manual

B3: Several operator panels connected to several NCUs, distributed systems - only 840D sl
Permissible combinations in one installation
If a server (alarm/data management server) is configured in an M:N system, it also acts as a
main control panel.
Only one control unit in an M:N system can have the following properties:
● Windows-HMI (HMI Advanced): Server and main control panel
or
● Non-Windows-HMI (HMI Embedded/HT6): Main control panel
Any number of secondary control panels is possible.
Note
If the function Execution from external source is to be available, one operator panel in the
system must be designated as a server.
2.2.3

Configuration file NETNAMES.INI

As the hardware components can be freely combined (see Section "Hardware structure"), it
is necessary to provide the system with information about the components which are
connected, how they are connected to each other, and how they interact.
In particular, it is necessary to regulate the competition among the different control units for
the limited number of available interfaces (suppression, see Section "Suppression").
For this purpose each PCU/HT6 has a configuration file NETNAMES.INI in which the the
configuration parameters must be stored.
