as well as to user-specific technology functions.
The following technology functions are not available in the form of compile cycles:
• Analog axis
• Speed/torque coupling
Supply format
Up to and including SW 6.3, the technology functions were supplied in the form of compile
cycles on the technology PC card. Several functions were normally stored on each PC card
but only one function was used. With SW 6.4, the technology functions are supplied
individually as loadable compile cycles.
Tips for use
The following chapters describe how to load and activate the compile cycles and set the
necessary NCK machine data.
Please follow the detailed instructions if you have not already used compile cycles.
Follow the instructions in the "Boundary Conditions" section if you have made an archive
from an operational control using compile cycles from a technology PC card and want to
replace these compile cycles with more recent versions in the form of loadable compile
cycles.
Conditions
One of the following programs is required for the installation:
• SinuCom NC
• SinuCopy FFS
• HMI Advanced
Furthermore, a programming device/PC with MPI connection to the NCU must also be
available.
Note
The following instructions must be followed for system startup:
• /IAD/ Startup Manual
• /HMI/ Startup Manual HMI Advanced
• Current standard upgrade instructions

The compile cycle is now available as a hardware solution.
The compile cycle is a generally-available function from SW 6.4 and higher.
