SINUMERIK 840D sl
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"/>
</DisplayOptionsMask>
</CONFIGURATION>
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

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.
