Executing the package on the NCU from the USB media

The package generated by Expert for Linux with the file extension "usz" should be transferred
into the root directory of a USB medium (USB FlashDrive, hard disk) – and this medium should
be inserted into a direct USB interface (X125 or X135) of the NCU 7x0. The package is
automatically started when the NCU boots.
If there are several packages in the start folder, they will be provided on the Package selection
dialog page.
If you select a package other than the default package for execution, clicking the Next button
ends the default package and starts the newly selected package.
The result of this procedure is that the VNC server of the NCU is restarted. In this context,
there is a loss of connection to all VNC viewers.
The VNC viewer running on the TCU is then automatically ended and restarted.
An external VNC viewer running under Windows on your PC/PG or the PCU might possibly
have to be restarted if no automatic connection attempts were set for this.
4.11.3.3

Executing the package on NCU from the CompactFlash card

Linux packages can be executed from the CompactFlash card of the NCU that contains the
CNC software under certain circumstances.
Preconditions
The following requirements apply:
● The CompactFlash card must contain a bootable CNC system.
● Fresh installation or upgrading is not permissible.
● The Linux package <name> can be stored under any path <path> on the CompactFlash
card. We recommend storage according to the responsibility below "/card/oem" or "/card/
user".
Procedure
1. Create an "sci.ini" file with the entry: "Start=<path>/<name>".
Example: Start=/card/user/Test.usz
2. Save this file in the "/<responsible>/system/etc" folder of the CompactFlash card.
<Responsible> can be "siemens", "addon", "oem" or "user".
3. Click on main switch "Off/On".
4. Follow the instructions of the package dialogs.
Note
The "sci.ini" file is deleted from the package as soon as it has been started. This will ensure
that a package is not unintentionally executed several times.
