Upgrade with Create MyConfig

Introduction
Note
For details on upgrading the CNC software versions, read the "siemensd.rtf" (German) or
"siemense.rtf" (English) file on the product CD of Create MyConfig.
When the software is upgraded, all user data is kept on the CompactFlash card and in the
control areas NC, PLC, and drives. The NC and drive data is automatically transferred into the
new CNC software version. Archives neither have to be created nor imported again.
The "NCK commissioning switch" and "PLC mode selector switch" remain during the upgrade
in position "0".
In conjunction with an upgrade, using the same package, the automatic generation of a backup
can be configured, which is then stored on the USB FlashDrive. It is not necessary to first
generate an archive.
Note
After the CNC software has been upgraded, adaptations may be required. Using the Create
MyConfig Expert, these adaptations can also be configured and therefore automatically
executed.
For information about the necessary adaptations, please refer to the upgrade instructions of the
respective CNC software versions.
