Preface
Introduction
Target group
This manual is intended for machine manufacturers and service technicians.
Benefits
The Create MyConfig engineering software is used by the machine manufacturer to create
and run a project for automated commissioning/production of machines with
SINUMERIK 840D sl respectively SINUMERIK 828D controllers. Even upgrades of those
controllers at the end customer can be configured and executed automatically.
Thanks to the modular concept, Create MyConfig enables the 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.
The 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, 11/2016, A5E36537479B-AD 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 cannot be 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 the Create MyConfig engineering software and the
NcuShareService application on your PC:
● Installation using the installation wizard
Installing the Create MyConfig setup as usual by running the setup file and by manually
working through the setup dialogs.
● Installation via command line
From version 4.6, 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 chapter describes 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.
Comment lines can start with the "#" character:
Parameter description
Parameters and their possible values are listed in the following table:
Parameter Description Example
SetupMode The "Batch" value must be allocated to the parameter to pre‐
vent setup dialogs from being displayed.
SetupMode=Batch
DestinationDrive
(optional)
The target drive where the software should be installed is
specified in this parameter.
The system drive is used if a value is not entered.
This parameter is ignored if CMC components are already
installed.
DestinationDrive=C

from a previous installation.
If the optional parameter is omitted, the prior settings from a
previous installation will be retained.
DeleteSettings=1
NcuShareService
(optional)
The NcuShareService is installed with this parameter.
If the parameter is 1, the NcuShareService is installed and, if
the parameter is 0, NcuShareService is not installed.
NcuShareService=1

2.2.3 Modifying installed program parts
The individual installed program parts (Diff, Topo, Expert, Samples) can be easily added or
removed afterwards.
There are three versions:
Version 1
1. If you have installed Windows XP , in the start menu, select:
"Start > Settings > Control Panel > Software".
If you have installed Windows 7, select
"Programs and functions."
2. Then select Create Create MyConfig 4.7 + SP2 and click "Change."
3. Select the program parts that you wish to add or remove.
Version 2
1. Start the "setup.exe" again on the CD.
You then go to the same dialogs, and you can proceed as in version 1. The precondition is
that the same setup.exe is used as was used to install the version.
Version 3
1. Use the "OPFILE.txt" control file described above to add or delete program parts
subsequently.
If you specify another configuration for Features, that is the configuration that will be
installed.
– If you have already installed "Topo," and you also wish to install "Diff," the "Features"
parameter looks like this:
Features=Topo,Diff
– If, instead of the installed Topo, you only want Diff to be installed, the "Features"
parameter looks like this:
Features=Diff
