Siemens SINUMERIK 840Di Function Manual page 927

General
The OB source programs, including standard parameterization, interface symbols and DB
templates for handheld unit and M decoding functions are enclosed in the SIMATIC project
or SIMATIC library of the basic program.
STEP 7 must be installed before the basic program.
STEP7 V1.x
The basic program is stored as a compressed file with the name GP840D.EXE (or
GP810D.EXE and GPFMNC.EXE) in the main directory on the diskette. The basic program
(GP840D.exe) must be copied to the main directory (root) of a drive (e.g., c:\) and then
called. The project structure required for the basic program is generated automatically. The
catalog name of the basic program is GP840Dxy.S7A. In this case, xy stands for the basic
program version.
Note
When STEP 7 V1 is used, the GP840Dxy.S7A catalog must be copied to the root directory.
Any existing catalog with the same name GP840Dxy.S7A must be deleted beforehand.
STEP7 V2.x, 3.x
The basic program is stored as a compressed file with the name "GP840D.EXE" in directory
S7V2.840 or S7V2.810 or S7V2 on the basic program diskette. The basic program
(GP840D.exe) must be copied to subcatalog "S7LIBS" of STEP7 V2 (step7_v2) or
subsequent versions thereof and then called. The library structure required for the basic
program is generated automatically. The catalog name of the basic program is GP840Dxy. In
this case, xy stands for the basic program version. The file "MET.EXE" must be copied to the
basic catalog of STEP 7 and called from there via the DOS window with "MET.EXE –O".
Note
The name GP840D specified above refers to the basic program of the SINUMERIK 840D.
The basic program is named GP810D on the SINUMERIK 810D and GPFMNC on the FM-
NC. With effect from SW 4.2, the basic program for 810D and 840D is combined. It is now
called GP8x0D.
