Copying and adapting the configuration file

You can define PCU Installer operation in the associated configuration file. To do this, you
must first copy the configuration file to a user directory.
Alternatively, you can copy a template in which the PCU Installer has already been activated
(Page 109).
For example, you can configure the following in the configuration file:
● Which directories have been checked how many times for new setup packages.
● That installations are not started automatically while certain software is active.
A list of all setting options can be found under Reference to the PCUInst.ini configuration file
(Page 112).
Requirement
● The Service Desktop is active
● The PCU Installer has not been configured yet and there is no adapted PCUInst.ini
configuration file
Procedure
To copy and adapt the configuration file of the PCU Installer, proceed as follows:
1. Switch to the template directory: C:\ProgramData\Siemens\MotionControl
\siemens\System\etc\
The settings can be viewed in the template PCUInst.ini.
2. Save a copy of the template PCUInst.ini to one of the user directories:
– C:\ProgramData\Siemens\MotionControl\user\System\etc\
– C:\ProgramData\Siemens\MotionControl\oem\System\etc\
– C:\ProgramData\Siemens\MotionControl\addon\System\etc\
Note
Storage of the configuration file in the setup directory
Alternatively, a configuration file can also be located directly with an installation setup.
In other words, if, for example, E:\Setup is a setup directory, this (or one of the direct
subdirectories) can be the location of a configuration file. Settings made in this configuration
file have a higher weighting than the settings in configuration files in the above-mentioned
directories.
