Software Upgrade With Mmc 100.2; Requirements; Backing Up Nc Data With Mmc 100.2; Software Upgrade With Mmc 103 / Pcu 50 - Siemens Sinumerik 810D Start-Up And Upgrade Manual

2.2

Software upgrade with MMC 100.2

2.2.1

Requirements

RS232 C (V.24) connection between MMC and PG or PC.
2.2.2

Backing up NC data with MMC 100.2

Select start-up data from the "Data Out" menu in the "Services" operating area. Back up NCK data in
archive format on the PG/PC separately from the PLC data via RS-232-C on PG/PC (individually).
Note:
Compensation data are not backed up with the series start-up file. The compensation data can be backed
up separately to an external PC in the "Services" area via "SK Data Out -SK Data" and selecting sections
"Interpolative compensation", "Circle error compensation", and "Leadscrew error compensation".
(Once the NCU has been upgraded, these data can be loaded back into the NCK ("Services" area
"Softkey Data In" --- MD CEC_ENABLE and ENC_COMP_ENABLE of the axes in question have the value
"0").
2.3

Software upgrade with MMC 103 / PCU 50

2.3.1

Data back-up with MMC 103 or PCU 50

NCK
Before the NCK is upgraded, a back-up must be made to permit recovery of the machine's current
database. This is done by creating a series start-up file.
To create the series start-up file set the manufacturer password and unload a tool in the spindle or buffer.
You can now specify the archive content of the file to be created in menu Services/Series start-up/ Create
start-up archive/ (selection: NC with compensations). (or include any loadable compile cycles)
After the archive name has been defined, data back-up can be started with the Archive softkey.
Now all necessary data (compensation, tools, definitions, loaded programs, machine data, etc. ) are
stored in the Archive path.
PLC
In addition to the NCK back-up, a PLC back-up must be created. This back-up must be performed with the
PLC in Stop state. Set S4 on the NCU module to position 2. This will switch the PLC to the Stop state. The
PLC series start-up file is created in the same way as the NCK back-up, i.e. by selecting the data (select
PLC) and then pressing the Archive softkey.
If you want to upgrade the basic PLC program you will need STEP 7. For this, you will have to install the
new toolbox via SETUP. You also need the customer project of this system. The required blocks are
transferred from the new toolbox library to the customer project (or a copy). OBs FC12 and DB 4 must not
be transferred (these are blocks for creating new user programs) because they have been modified by the
machine manufacturer. Finally, transfer the blocks to the PLC. A new PLC series start-up file must be
created.
2.3.2

Replacing software within a software series

Replacing the software
Switch off the control and replace the PC card. The card stays in the control (irrespective of the Sinumerik
810D/840D type).
Set switch S3 to position 1, set S4 to position 3 and switch on the control. When it has powered up, the
state "7-Segment display shows digit 6 / PLC LED PS flashes / PF red" is established.
The NC standard machine data have now been loaded. NC and PLC are cleared.
The PLC is started up by switching S4 from position 3 to position 0
=> S4 in position 3 => S4 in position 0. Now the PLC must switch to Run mode.
Set S3 to position 0.
You can check the software version in menu Diagnosis/Service Displays/Version.
Loading the back-ups
Once the manufacturer password has been set, the NCK back-up can be loaded in menu Services/ Series
start-up/Load start-up archive/ after selecting the back-up file.
