Preface
Introduction
Target group
This manual is intended for machine manufacturers and service technicians.
Benefits
Engineering software Create MyConfig supports the machine manufacturer to create and run
a project for automated production and commissioning of machines with SINUMERIK 840D sl
or SINUMERIK 828D controls. These controls can also be upgraded for end users, and
automatically executed.
As a result of the modular concept, Create MyConfig enables automatic series production and
the upgrade of different machines of a series with one package.
In contrast to the conventional procedure, individual operations on the machine can be
performed faster and with greater ease and reliability.
● The production time for machines with SINUMERIK 840D sl respectively SINUMERIK 828D
is significantly reduced.
● The upgrade time for end customers is also reduced.
● A high level of reproducibility is achieved through automatic data loading.
● The quality in production and service is improved significantly.
● Lower demands are placed on the expert knowledge of the commissioning engineer.
● A modular data management for modular machines is supported at the machine
manufacturer.
● The modular machines are adapted to flexible SINAMICS topologies.
● The commissioning process is documented in a log file.
Engineering software Create MyConfig comprises the four components - Diff, Expert, Topo
and Shield:.
●Diff is a piece of comparison software that supports you in the provision of modular data.
●Expert is a piece of configuration software that supports you when creating a project.
Deployment of a project produces an executable package.

Operating Manual, 12/2017, A5E36537479B-AE 3

●Topo is a piece of topology software that supports you in displaying and/or creating a
comparison and/or target topology for the automated commissioning of the SINAMICS drive
system.
With Topo, the axis-drive assignment can also be displayed or configured.
●Shield is the execution software, which is not individually installed. When forwarding the
project via Expert, an executable package containing the software component Shield,
scripts, instructions and data is created. After launching the package, it is processed by
Shield according to the configuration.

Installation 2
2.1 Overview
You have two options for installing engineering software "Create MyConfig" and the
"NcuShareService" application on your PC:
● Installation using the installation wizard
The CMC package is installed using the general setup.
The general setup involves the installation of Create MyConfig - and the installation of
Application License Managers (ALM). Installation is also possible without general setup.
You can find the "setup.exe" file at the following path:
"<CD-Setup-Pfad>\Setup\CMC\setup\x64".
If you wish to install a 32-bit version, then use path:
"<CD-Setup-Pfad>\Setup\CMC\setup\x86".
● Installation via command line
It can also be automatically installed without any user interaction.
An "OPFILE.txt" control file can be transferred as argument when starting the setup.
The setup process can be preconfigured in this control file. This means that it is no longer
necessary to manually work through the setup dialogs. The following sections describe the
option for installation via the command line.
2.2 Installation via command line
2.2.1 Structure of the "OPFILE.txt" control file
The file contains the section data [SETUPREQUESTS]as the first entry.
A parameter value is then allocated per line.
You can start comment lines with character "#".
Parameter description
Parameters and their possible values are listed in the following table:
Parameter Description Example
SetupMode Assign this parameter value "Batch" to prevent setup dia‐
logs from being displayed.
SetupMode=Batch

2.2.3 Modifying installed program parts
The program components Diff, Topo, Expert and Samples can be subsequently individually
added - or removed if they had been installed.
There are three versions:
Version 1
1. In the Windows Control panel, select "Programs and functions".
2. Select "Create MyConfig", and then click on "Change".
3. Select the program parts that you wish to add or remove.
Version 2
● Start the ""setup.exe"" file again on the DVD.
– You then go to the same dialogs - and you can proceed as for version 1.
– The precondition is that the same "setup.exe" is used as was used to install the version.
Version 3
● Use control file "OPFILE.txt (Page 15)" to subsequently add or delete program components.
If, for features, you specify another configuration, then precisely this is installed.
– If you have already installed "Topo," and you also wish to install "Diff," the "Features"
parameter looks like this:
Features=Topo,Diff
– If only want to install Diff instead of the installed Topo, then the "Features" parameter
looks like this:
Features=Diff
These three versions can be combined. For example, this means you can first use version 1,
for a subsequent change, version 3, and later, for a new change, version 2.
