TE01: Installation and activation of loadable compile cycles

13.1 Loading compile cycles

Technology and special functions provided by third parties in the form of compile cycles
Compile cycle files (*.ELF) that have been generated for CNC software versions up to SW 4.4
must be adapted and recompiled with the generation environment for CNC software versions
as of SW 4.5. Details on the adaptation of the user-specific technology and special functions
can be found in the the Open Architecture (OA) documentation.
Compile cycles
Compile cycles are functional expansions of the NCK system software that can be created by
the machine manufacturer and/or by Siemens and then imported in the control later.
As part of the open NCK system architecture, compile cycles have comprehensive access to
data and functions of the NCK system level via defined software interfaces. In this way, compile
cycles significantly extend the functionality of the NCK.
Including a compile cycle in the NCK system software is performed by loading the compile
cycle into the file system of the NCK. The compile cycle can be loaded at any time.
Siemens compile cycles
Siemens compile cycles are the technological functions supplied by Siemens.
When you order one of these technological functions, you get only the corresponding software
license number. To obtain the compile cycle in the form of a loadable file (".ELF" extension for
"executable and linking format") please contact your regional Siemens sales partner.
Note
Compile cycles created by Siemens are options that require explicit activation and licensing.

Loading a compile cycle with SINUMERIK Operate

Requirement
● The compile cycle to be transferred to the control must be saved on a storage medium
which can be directly connected to the control, such as a USB-FlashDrive.
● Access authorization of protection level 1 "Machine manufacturer" (default password
"SUNRISE") must be available.
● If there are no cursor keys on the operator panel, a mouse or keyboard must be connected
in order to perform the operator actions.
