Preface

Introduction
Target group
This manual is intended for machine manufacturers and service technicians.
Benefits
The Create MyConfig engineering software is used by the machine manufacturer to create
and run a project for automated commissioning/production of machines with
SINUMERIK 840D sl respectively SINUMERIK 828D controllers. Even upgrades of those
controllers at the end customer can be configured and executed automatically.
Thanks to the modular concept, Create MyConfig enables the automatic series production and
the upgrade of different machines of a series with one package.
In contrast to the conventional procedure, individual operations on the machine can be
performed faster and with greater ease and reliability.
● The production time for machines with SINUMERIK 840D sl respectively SINUMERIK 828D
is significantly reduced.
● The upgrade time for end customers is also reduced.
● A high level of reproducibility is achieved through automatic data loading.
● The quality in production and service is improved significantly.
● Lower demands are placed on the expert knowledge of the commissioning engineer.
● A modular data management for modular machines is supported at the machine
manufacturer.
● The modular machines are adapted to flexible SINAMICS topologies.
● The commissioning process is documented in a log file.
The engineering software Create MyConfig comprises the four components Diff, Expert, Topo,
and Shield.
● Diff is a piece of comparison software that supports you in the provision of modular data.
● Expert is a piece of configuration software that supports you when creating a project.
Deployment of a project produces an executable package.
