2.7.5 NC software exchange on the iTNC 530

The NC software must be exchanged only by trained personnel.

For exchanging the NC software, HEIDENHAIN provides compressed

files (*.zip) with the NC software. The packed files are transferred to the

hard disk of the control and unpacked. The packed files remain on the

hard disk of the control.

The following files are necessary for an update, and must be located in the

same directory:

- setup.elf (setup.exe, as an alternative to setup.omf)

- setup.ini (this is to be created by the OEM, and is only necessary if the

update is to occur according to a specific sequence)

Please note that this currently means that the version of the software to be

installed is not displayed in advance.

You can download the two files required for the update (setup.zip,

setup.elf) from the HEIDENHAIN HESIS-Web including Filebase and unzip

them in your update directory.

Software updates and service packs are loaded in the same manner.

Automated updating is possible. If your directories are structured

appropriately and you use a setup.ini control file, this method makes it

possible to update the control automatically when it is booted (see

"Automated update (setup.ini)" on page 153).

Copying of the update files (setup.elf and setup.zip) to the system partition

occurs automatically as part of the update program in directories with the

following naming convention:

• iTNC 530 HSCI

- Software update: SYS:\zip\<ID no.>_<ver>

- Service pack: SYS:\zip\<ID no.>_<ver>_SP<n>

No manual changes may be made to these directories, since they might be

required for restoring earlier software versions.
