Creating and Downloading of Service Files

7.1

Introduction

Service files can be created as of NC software version 340 49x-04.
The following data (and other information) is saved in the service file:
Service files can only partially be evaluated by the service engineer himself. They serve
primarily to provide the machine manufacturer or a HEIDENHAIN service agency with extensive
information on an error occurred on a machine.
After consultation the respective ZIP file can thus be downloaded from the control and sent to
the OEM or HEIDENHAIN.

Files selected by HEIDENHAIN and the machine manufacturer are thus stored in a ZIP file.
The selected files can be located on the TNC as well as on the PLC partition.
The compressed service files are stored unter TNC:\service\Service<xxxxxxxx>.zip.
The name of the file is generated automatically, whereby <xxxxxxxx >is the system time
shown as an unambiguous character string in hexadecimal code.
The most up-to-date ZIP file is identified in the program manager in the date and time columns.
