Installing A Service Pack - HEIDENHAIN iTNC 530 HSCI Technical Manual

2.7.7 Installing a service pack

July 2013
When needed, HEIDENHAIN prepares service packs for certain NC software
versions. A service pack is loaded in addition to an already completely installed
NC software.
When the control is started, a note regarding the installed service pack is
shown. This can be replaced by a special logo (see "Powering up and shutting
down the control" on page 1260).
The latest service pack always includes all changes from earlier service packs.
HEIDENHAIN recommends installing all released service packs.

Danger
When needed, HEIDENHAIN prepares service packs for the various

versions of the NC software. Installation of a service pack in addition to
the already installed NC software implements important error fixes.
Please check whether there are service packs for the respective NC

software available in the download area for your control. Please also note
the Update Information releases, which contain important notes on the
service packs in addition to the information contained in the Technical
Manual.
Please ensure that the NC software always contains the latest service

pack before you ship the machine. Perform all tests required of the
machine or the NC software again after having installed a service pack.
Attention
If a service pack has already been installed, it will not be possible to install
a service pack with a lower index. This will be checked during the
installation of a service pack for the software and a message will be
displayed if an error is found.
Note
A service pack may only be loaded onto completely installed NC software
(files in binary format), and may only be done by trained personnel.
