Creating a SINUMERIK PLC archive

Introduction
Unlike TIA Portal project archives (*.zap13), SINUMERIK PLC archives (*.arc) contain
precompiled commissioning data that you can import directly to the NCU (e.g. with
SINUMERIK Operate).
A SINUMERIK archive offers the following possibilities:
● Direct image of the data of a PLC taken into operation in a file
● Simplification of the series commissioning
● Commissioning of the PLC with the SINUMERIK archive directly on the NCU without
using a PG/PC, TIA Portal or STEP 7
● Transfer of the data to the NCU without establishing an online connection to the actual
hardware
SINUMERIK archives (*.arc) have nothing in common with TIA Portal project archives
(*.zap13). TIA Portal project archives are compressed files, each of which contains a
complete project, including the complete folder structure of the project. (See: Information
system, keyword "TIA Portal project archive").
You can create a PLC archive with the SINUMERIK Toolbox and load it to the NCU (e.g.
with SINUMERIK Operate) in order to simplify the actual commissioning.
You can create the following SINUMERIK archives:
