Channel menu

5.1 Configuring a channel menu
The channel menu is used to switchover the NC channel displayed in the
SINUMERIK Operate or more precisely at the operator station. If a channel menu has been
configured, when the channel switchover key is pressed, the channel menu for the channel
switchover is displayed to make the appropriate operator action. If there is no channel menu,
then the channel switchover key results in the HMI display advancing to the next NC
channel.
Configuring
The configuration is made in the "netnames.ini" file for the operating software, as well as in
the particular "config.ini" files for the individual operator stations.
To configure the data for the operator stations (entries in the "config.ini" files), instead of
directly editing in the "config.ini" file, we recommend that you use the "System Network
Center (SNC)" program.
The "netnames.ini" file must be generated using an editor.
Storage
The "netnames.ini" file is stored for SINUMERIK Operate in the following directory:
/oem/sinumerik/hmi/cfg or /user/sinumerik/hmi/cfg
The "config.ini" file is located in the relevant directory:
● On the NCU:
● On the PCU:
For <
at the system when a TCU powered-up for the first time. If you work with the "System
Network Center (SNC)" tool, then these file paths are of no significance.
