7.1.1 SINEC NM
SINEC NM (SINEC Network Mangement) is a software package which is used on a central
configuring station (see figure "Central configuring"). The central configuring station is a PG
685T which is connected to the SINEC H1 network.
SINEC NM supplies all network-related functions required for the configuration, optimization
and monitoring of the systems integrated in SINEC and operated on SINEC H1 networks.
On the SINUMERIK bus interface module only the Ethernet address is set locally whereas the
central station is responsible for the other configuration parameters of the interface module.
The relations between the network nodes are defined and the configuring data of the network
nodes are generated from the central configuring station. The configuring data of the entire
network is stored centrally in a global data base.
In addition to the global data base local data bases are generated in the central configuring
station and distributed. Local data bases contain the relevant configuring data for a network
node. They are structured as internally required by the node.
When generating local data bases, communication files are used as a link between SINEC
configuration and system-specific configuration, e.g. SINUMERIK-specific configuration (input
list 1, output list 1, format list).
Distribution of the local data bases is via the SINEC H1 bus or, alternatively, via the TTY
interface.
