_________________________________________________________________________________________
SINUMERIK Operate 2.6 SP1 HF3 (02.06.01.03.008) for PCU 50.3
_________________________________________________________________________________________
A PCU 50.3 with already installed PCU base software WinXP from V8.6 SP1 is required in order to install this
software.
The Commissioning Instructions for SINUMERIK Operate 2.6 SP1, PCU base software 8.6 SP1, the Equipment
Manual for the operator components and the SINUMERIK Operate 2.6 SP1 apply Operating Instructions.
Further, the secondary conditions published for the CNC software 2.6 SP1 HF3 must be carefully observed.
The start-up tool comprises all texts in German, English, French, Italian, Spanish and “Chinese simplified“. In
general, the help for setting and machine data is only provided in German and English.
SINUMERIK Operate 2.6 SP1 has only been released for operating a 840D sl NCU7x0 with CNC Software 2.6
SP1 HF3 resp. for a SIMATIC-CPU 317 / 319 in combination with HMI Pro sl..
For this, the PCU 50.3 must be integrated in the plant / system network. By default, the SINUMERIK Operate is
connected to the NCU address 192.168.214.1. The NCU address can be set in the "NCU connection" screen
under Commissioning / HMI.
This unit cannot be switched over online to another NCU (1:n).
Important note for laboratory operation: When connecting the PCU 50.3 to the X130 of the NCU, the simulation
cannot be executed.
The HMI-Advanced software 7.6 (or later) is still required for commissioning drives.
This is the reason that SINUMERIK Operate 2.6 SP1 and HMI-Advanced 7.6 SP1 can be installed in parallel on
a PCU 50.3. However, only one of the two HMIs can be started. The last installed HMI is automatically started
when the PCU 50.3 boots. If required, this can be changed in the ServiceCenter Users on the WinXP desktop.
The SINUMERIK Operate for PCU 50.3 does not include any technological cycles 2.6 or measuring and ISO
cycles 2.6. These are available on the CF card of the NCU and automatically installed during the NCU startup –
see also the relevant information provided in the Upgrade Instructions for the CNC Software 2.6 SP1.
It is not permissible that cycles 7.x are installed!
User texts must always be downloaded into the system in the UTF-8 format.
SINUMERIK Operate for PCU 50.3 does not have a general access to the CF card of the NCU. This means that
option "256 MB user memory on CF card of the NCU" cannot be used.
The "Local drive" in SINUMERIK Operate for PCU 50.3 is located on the hard disk under
F:\hmisl\user\sinumerik\data and is always available without option.
The integration of STEP7 5.4 for SINUMERIK PCU 50.3 is also possible for SINUMERIK Operate. However, it is
not automatically integrated in the area menu using the desk top function "Step7 authorization" which is the case
for HMI-Advanced. Instead, this must be manually done. To do this, after installing Step7 from the directory
F:\hmisl\siemens\sinumerik\hmi\template\step7 – the file oemframe.ini must be copied into the directory
F:\hmisl\compat\add_on - and the files systemconfiguration.ini and slamconfig.ini must be copied into the
directory F:\hmisl\addon\sinumerik\hmi\cfg. The HMI should then be restarted.
In the file "systemconfiguration.ini", the installation path is provided for Step7 with F:\STEP7. If the installation
path deviates from this, this must be adapted in the "systemconfiguration.ini".
The ePS client software V2.6 is included in the SINUMERIK Operate for PCU 50.3. It can be activated using the
display MD 9108 ENABLE_EPS_SERVICES.

Expanded functionality in SINUMERIK Operate 2.6 SP1 HF1 with respect to 2.6 SP1
•Display of user icons in the large header of the machine area
User icons can be displayed in the second header line in the machine operator area. In this case, the
program name is displayed in the righthand field of the third header line. Active hold conditions hide the
display of the program name. The user icon display is controlled using PLC bits. 32 bits are available for
this purpose. The user icons can be displayed at 16 positions in the header. The icons should be
provided in the form of PNG files and should be saved in the file system depending on the particular
resolution (/user/hmi/ico/ico640, etc.).
User icons are configured in section [UserIcons] of file slmahdconfig.ini.
The following should be output
- the basis address of the PLC double-word with the bits to control the icon display
- and for each bit used, the file name of the user icon and the position at which the user icon should be
displayed.
Example:
[UserIcons]
USER_ICON_BASE=DB19.DBB80 ; set the start byte of the plc double word that displays the icons
; (DB19.DBD80)
UI_0 = icon1.png,4 ; show icon1.png on position 4 if bit 0 (DB19.DBX83.0) is set
UI_1 = icon2.png,6 ; show icon2.png on position 6 if bit 1 (DB19.DBX83.1) is set

Notes on the simulation:
For multi-channel ShopTurn programs, the function "Spindle speed from another channel" results in a
synchronization error of the channels in simulation. As countermeasure, the spindle speed must be programmed
in each channel.
In order to avoid problems for the half-section display in the turning simulation, it is recommended that the
following file is created
/oem/sinumerik/hmi/cfg/slsimconfigsettings.xml with the following contents:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<CONFIGURATION>
<DisplayOptionsMask>
<!-- ** enable Racaster for Halfcut ** -->
<HalfCutRayCasterEnable type="int" value="0"/>

Installation
SINUMERIK Operate 2.6 SP1 HF3 involves a full version.
Important: If the version < 2.6 SP1 of SINUMERIK Operate for PCU 50.3 has already been installed, then it must
first be uninstalled under Control Panel / Add or Remove Programs. In addition, manually delete the directory
F:\hmisl\snck.
SINUMERIK Operate for PCU 50.3 is installed by calling the self-extracting file
Setup_Operate_02.06.01.03.008.exe from the WinXP desktop of the PCU 50.3. To do this, establish either a
network connection to a PC using the DVD supplied or copy the software from the DVD supplied to a USB data
medium that can then be directly connected to the PCU 50.3. Alternatively, the software can also be copied into
the d:\install directory of the PCU 50.3 and renamed into setup.exe. This means that it is automatically installed
the next time that the PCU 50.3 boots.
The installation directory is permanently specified as f:\hmisl.
The installation version is requested during the installation:
•Operation on a SINUMERIK-NCU (default)
•Operation on a SIMATIC-CPU 317 / 319
====================================================================
Compatibility
====================================================================
•SINUMERIK Operate SW 2. 6 SP1 HF3 can be combined with 840D sl NCU 7xx with SW 2.6 SP1 HF3
•The help system is based on the documentation for the NCU SW 2.6 SP1.
•The NC alarm texts are based on the NCU SW 2.6 SP1
•STEP7 for SINUMERIK PCU 50.3 from V5.4 SP4 can be integrated in SINUMERIK Operate 2.6 SP1 where
it can run.
•OEM applications which are based on the SINUMERIK Operate Programming Package 2.6 must be
generated anew with the Programming Package 2.6 SP1.
•The available additional languages for SINUMERIK Operate 2.6 can be used. If required, new texts
included in SW 2.6 SP1 are then displayed in English instead of the local language selected.
This behavior does not constitute a system error.
====================================================================
Notes

System:
•If, in conjunction with STEP7 on PCU 50, no communication is established between the HMI and the NCU,

please check the settings made under Control Panel / Set PG/PC Interface. In addition to S7ONLINE, an
Access Point
SINUMERIK_CP (SINUMERIK 7xx) -> TCP/IP -> VIA Rhine III Fast Eth. ..<Board 2>
must be included. If necessary, configure this Access Point as indicated.
•Editor: The key combination Shift+Insert must be used to edit cycle calls directly in the DIN code. At present,
this is not provided on all SINUMERIK OPs. Remedy: Use an external PC keyboard.
•With the installation version "Operation on SIMATIC-CPU 317 / 319", the internal editor is not functional. Use
an external editor (e.g. notepad, wordpad).
•To operate the simulation NC-MD $MC_FRAME_ACS_SET must be set to 1.
