Prerequisite

Note

The "Operation without SINUMERIK OP" option is required when using more than 1 external

VNC Viewer.

Operator control without SINUMERIK OP

If the "Operation without SINUMERIK OP" option is set, then a list of viewers that can be

assigned in tcu.ini is handled by the system just like internal viewers (=TCU); this means that

these viewers have full user authorization and participate in the user rights management.

Towards the outside, they behave just the same as the viewer on the SINUMERIK operator

panels.

Restrictions

Restrictions for such external operator control units are:

● Neither MCP and direct keys nor an EKS system can be assigned. This also means that

these devices cannot be activated to be an operator control unit in the system.

● Direct control keys cannot be triggered, i.e. the softkeys to the direct keys can be triggered

in the operating software. However, the keys do not appear in the direct key image to the

PLC.

● There is no configuration file config.ini, as for a TCU, i.e. the settings to be made to a TCU

are not possible for such an operator control unit (power-up behavior, displacement, t:m:n);

however, the displacement mechanism to the external operator control units is effective.

● An external operator control unit is never signaled as active operator station in the PLC.

Configuring the external operator control units in the tcu.ini file in section:

Displacement mechanism for TCUs

Supplementary conditions

The following supplementary conditions apply when operating the TCU:

General information and networking

Manual, 03/2016, 6FC5397-1AP40-5BA3

Networking

5.2 Commissioning TCU

2 active TCU connected in parallel to NCU 710.3 PN

4 active TCU connected in parallel to NCU 720.3 PN, NCU 730.3 PN

4 active TCU connected in parallel to PCU

To operate a machine with more operating stations then the maximum number the

displacement mechanism ensures that only the permitted number of TCUs are active in

shadowing grouping. The remaining TCUs are switched to a passive mode, which means they

no longer represent a load relative to the resources. Thus the number of TCUs that can be

connected to one HMI application is practically no longer limited, the limitation is the number

of concurrently active TCUs.

Configuration

There are two new entries in the config.ini file for a TCU for the displacement mechanism:

● SUSPENDLOCK: controls whether the TCU can be displaced via the displacement

mechanism.

SUSPENDLOCK = 0 means that a displacement disable is not set (preset), i.e. the TCU

may be displaced by any other TCU.

SUSPENDLOCK=1 means that this TCU can never be displaced.

● SUSPENDPRIORITY: This entry specifies a priority for the displacement mechanism to the

TCU. In a displacement process the TCUs among the active TCUs with the lowest priority

that do not have a displacement disable will displaced. The priority is specified as numeric

value in the range 1 - 10.

The preset is 1 (lowest priority).

Note

If you set a displacement disable for a TCU then specification of a displacement priority is

unnecessary because it never is used due to the displacement disable.

Displacement rules

The TCU can assume the following states:

● The TCU is active and has user authorization: This can be identified as the TCU shows the

screen of the operating software and the screen is bright.

● The TCU is active, however, in the monitoring mode (i.e. it presently has no user

authorization): This can be identified as the TCU shows the screen of the operating

software, however, it is darkened in comparison to the TCU with user authorization.

● The TCU is passive: The TCU shows the selection menu of the possible connections

instead of a screen of the operating software, and the softkey for selection of the last active

connection of the TCU is shown in color.

When a TCU boots, the TCU always attempts to establish the first connection specified in its

config file. The TCUs from a shadowing group establish their specified connection one after

the other as long as the maximum number of permissible active operator units is not exceeded.

If a TCU encounters the situation that this number is already reached in its power up, then it

attempts to obtain a connection via the displacement mechanism. If it can displace a formerly

active operator unit then it takes on the active status itself, otherwise it transitions to passive

status immediately after booting.

5.2.10

Disable switchover between TCU via PLC

Overview

The TCU switchover disable offers the option of dynamically disabling switchover from one

TCU to the next when the system is running via the PLC. For the duration of the disable, a

user authorization request to change user authorizations between TCUs will be ignored by the

system and rejected.

The rejected user authorization request causes a message to be output in the dialog line of

the HMI, in the form of a feedback message for the requester. The message disappears after

five seconds.

HMI ↔ PLC data interface

The “switchover disable” function is always active and does not have to be switched on

explicitly. The function is controlled by a data bit in the PLC. The HMI transfers the active OP

to the PLC, thus forming the basis of the control function in the PLC.

The control bits and control information for this function are stored in the m:n data interface of

the PLC. In terms of m:n, this function can be operated separately for the currently overridden

HMIs in both m:n online interfaces (DB19.DBW120 ff for HMI1 and DB19.DBW130 ff for HMI2).

If a system is not running an m:n, only the first m:n online interface is used for this function.

Switchover disable is controlled by a TCU_SHIFT_LOCK bit, managed by the user, on each

HMI in the PLC. The bit address for the first HMI is DB19.DBB126.6 and DB19.DBB136.6 for

the second HMI.

The PLC m:n online interface is expanded so that byte DB19.DBB118 is still added to the first

interface and byte DB19.DBB119 to the second. These bytes acquire the index of the active

TCU (of the active OP) for the appropriate HMI. The byte is called TCU_INDEX. The

appropriate HMI uses the TCU index configured for the active TCU to describe the TCU_INDEX

byte.

The TCU_SHIFT_LOCK bit is monitored by the appropriate HMI. A value = 1 triggers the

switchover disable; switchover is enabled if the value returns to 0. The TCU_SHIFT_LOCK bit

can be set, for example, to the PLC by the user pressing a key or it can be managed by the

PLC user program according to its own logic. The TCU_SHIFT_LOCK bit is managed in the

PLC exclusively by the user; the HMI only accesses this bit in read-only mode.

The HMI assigns the configured index of the TCU or PCU whose OP currently possesses user

authorization in the shadow grouping. If no OP is active, a value of 0 is entered in TCU_INDEX.

If no TCU index is configured for the active TCU (active OP), the value 255 = undefined is

presented as the TCU index. This means that the values 0 and 255 may not be configured as

the TCU index.

General information and networking

Manual, 03/2016, 6FC5397-1AP40-5BA3

Networking

5.2 Commissioning TCU

Configuration

The TCU index and machine control panel address (MCP address) are configured on the PCU.

The TCU index is set in the "OP Properties" dialog of the "System Network Center" program.

Operating principle

If the TCU_SHIFT_LOCK bit is set for switchover disable, a user authorization request is not

carried out independently of the mode set on the HMI for allocation of user authorizations (veto

mode), i.e., a change of user authorization is rejected.

This message appears on all OPs for approximately 5 seconds:

"No switchover: Switchover disable set in current PLC."

While this message is displayed, operations on the OP with the user authorization can still be

carried out unaffected.

Note

The switchover disable only relates to changing the user authorization on the OPs in a

shadowing grouping on a PCU.

Active switching from one OP to another PCU is not prevented.

Special features

The following special cases should be noted:

● Even if switchover disable is set, the TCU_INDEX field value may change in the PLC. This

is the case if:

- The OP in possession of the user authorization is actively switched to another PCU.

Depending on whether another TCU takes on the user authorization or whether no TCU

is currently active, either the index of the TCU or the PCU itself (if its directly connected

OP becomes active) is entered, in exactly the same way as when there is a user

authorization switchover.

This can also be the value 255, if no TCU index is available for the OP. 0 is entered if

an OP is no longer available in the shadow grouping.

- An m:n switchover is in progress. The HMI program of the incoming PCU deactivates

the HMI program which is active on it. An OP from the shadow grouping of the new

(incoming) PCU must receive the user authorization. The TCU index of this OP is

entered in the TCU_INDEX field.

- A PCU is disconnected from a NCK/PLC in the context of m:n. No HMI program and,

therefore, no OP with user authorization is then available on the exited NCK/PLC. This

is signaled independently of a switchover disable by entering the value 0 into the

TCU_INDEX field.

● If a TCU is actively switched over to another PCU, it can be deactivated there, i.e. it does

not obtain the user authorization, if a switchover disable is set for the destination PCU.

General information and networking

Manual, 03/2016, 6FC5397-1AP40-5BA3

Networking

5.2 Commissioning TCU

● With an m:n PCU switchover - the PCU is switched to another NCK and, therefore, to

another PLC - the PCU takes on the switchover disable settings of that PLC.

● The m:n interlock options on the PLC side have priority over the TCU switchover disable,

so that a set TCU switchover disable cannot prevent an m:n switchover. If necessary, the

m:n interference options should be synchronized here with those for the TCU in the PLC.

It may, for example, be practical to set or remove the m:n displacement disable

simultaneously with the TCU switchover disable.

Obtaining user authorization

On a TCU that has no user authorization, the first key that is pressed serves exclusively to

request the user authorization, i.e. this key is not evaluated by the operating software.

The settings for the right to veto are stored in file tcu.ini and are only effective if the operating

software is installed on the PCU. At the OP of the TCU, the operating software can be operated

in exactly the same way as an OP directly connected to the PCU.

Note

These operator input sequence steps must only be carried out by qualified personnel!

Permissible network topologies

Ethernet connection

A SINUMERIK 840 D sl can only be operated as a network within which the individual

components communicate with one another via Ethernet connections. This network must be

set up.

The individual components are factory-set so that the most frequently occurring standard

configurations can be operated without changing the settings related to the network.

Division into system network and company network

On the SINUMERIK solution line, the components are generally split into a company network

on the one hand and a system network on the other.

The connection to the company network provides access to the network drives, for example.

On the system network, process data communication and image transmission runs from the

components with operator software to the display units - the respective TCU.

This split is performed physically by means of the prescribed use of the Ethernet interfaces on

the components:

● A TCU is connected exclusively to the system network.

● An NCU is always connected to the system network via X120.

● Ethernet interface Eth 2 of the PCU is preconfigured for connection to the system network;

while Ethernet interface Eth 1 is used for connection to the company network.

● An NCU is connected to the company network via X130.

Meaning of the connections:

○

Eth 1 as a DHCP client

●

Eth 2 as a DHCP server

The TCU is connected to the NCU (directly) using a crossed Ethernet cable. On X130, the

NCU is connected to a switch to the company network with a straight cable.

As in configuration 1, there is a direct Ethernet connection between a TCU and X120 of the

NCU. NCU and TCU are suitably preconfigured with IP addresses. The IP addresses used

here are not significant for further operation.

IP configuration: DHCP server on the company network

On X130, the NCU is set to the address reference via DHCP. If the company network has a

DHCP server that provides the NCU with an IP address (IP configuration), the NCU is

integrated into the company network.

Depending on the infrastructure available or the level of network administration of the company

network, the following network parameters must be set for the NCU on X130:

● Computer name on the company network

● Address of a DNS server

● Address of a gateway (default router)

The IP address of the NCU to this connection is also assigned via network administration.

If the company network offers a low level of administration (in the worst case scenario the

network has only one DHCP server that assigns the addresses from a predefined address

range) the NCU receives an IP address that is initially unknown.

The NCU and PCU are connected via a crossed Ethernet cable.

On X120, the NCU occupies the fixed IP address 192.168.214.1 in its capacity as a DHCP

server (not used in this configuration). For this Eth 2 configuration, the PCU is assigned a fixed

IP address in the range 192.168.214.241 - 192.168.214.249 with a subnet mask

255.255.255.0 .

The observations made for configuration 3 also apply here in relation to the connection to the

company network. The connection to a switch on the company network is made via a non-

crossed Ethernet cable.

In this configuration, a switch is also required for the system network. All components are

connected using straight Ethernet cables.

In terms of address allocation and the settings that need to be made, this configuration is

identical to that of configuration 4. However, in this case, the DHCP server of the NCU actually

supplies the TCU with an IP address and serves as a boot server for the TCU.

The observations made for configuration 3 also apply here in relation to the connection to the

company network. The connection to a switch on the company network is made via a straight

Ethernet cable.

To connect one TCU to both HMI systems you must create an additional connection to the

NCU for the TCU, as described in the following chapter:

For service purposes a programming device is connected to the NCU at X127 as a standard

DHCP client (automatically obtain an IP address). An NCU is a standard DHCP server on

X127. On X127, the NCU occupies the fixed IP address 192.168.215.1 with the subnet mask

255.255.255.224.

At X127, IP addresses from 192.168.215.2 onwards are assigned via DHCP; e.g. to connect

a programming device. This is the reason that a fixed IP address must not be set at the

programming device.

Example: Configuring a VNC connection to a PC

Requirements

In order to use a TCU to get visual access to a computer from a SINUMERIK system via VNC,

the following requirements apply:

● The boot server (active DHCP server) in the system network must be an NCU.

● This NCU must be integrated via X130 or X120 into the network to which the computer to

be monitored is connected.

General information and networking

Manual, 03/2016, 6FC5397-1AP40-5BA3

Networking

5.3 Network configuration

● The computer to be monitored must be configured in the config.ini configuration file of the

TCU according to the general configuration for a TCU in a separate host section as a

switchover target for this TCU.

Where necessary, a password has to be specified in the configuration, if the VNC server

requires one on the target system (see below).

● To ensure that the TCU recognizes the new switchover target, the TCU requires a restart

and reboot.

● The screen resolution of the computer to be monitored must be adjusted to the conditions

of the TCU, since otherwise the TCU scales the image received to its possible range of

representation, which would adversely affect the representation on the TCU.

Configuration

The config.ini file is located in the following directory:

NCU:

/user/common/tcu/<TCU name>/common/tcu

PCU (Windows XP):

F:\user_base\common\tcu\<TCU name>\common\tcu

PCU (Windows 7):

C:\ProgramData\Siemens\MotionControl\user\common

\tcu\<TCU name>\common\tcu

The config.ini file must be stored on the boot server (active DHCP).

The configuration is suitable for the following application: Machine with concurrent operating

option to two operator panels , a full-featured operating panel with PCU and an operator panel

reduced to tool management.

Parallel operation of HMI-Advanced or SINUMERIK Operate on the PCU 50.3 and

SINUMERIK Operate as component of the CNC software on the SINUMERIK 840D sl NCU:

Any OP connected to PCU 50.3 and any OP connected to the NCU can be simultaneously

operated: in the example, OP 08T.

Proceed as follows

To configure the application example, proceed as follows:

1. PCU 50.3 with HMI Advanced

Deactivate the DHCP server on the PCU: For this select the option "Boot support runtime

and configuration only (TFTP/FTP)" on the "TCU support" tab of the "System Network

Center" program.

2. SINUMERIK 840D sl from CNC software, version 2.4 and higher

The systemconfiguration.ini configuration file is included on the SINUMERIK 840D

sl product DVD.

3. OP 08T operator panel

Once the installation of the OP 08T operator panel with SINUMERIK Operate has been

completed, copy the systemconfiguration.ini file from the /Siemens/

sinumerik/hmi/appl/systemconfig/tm/ directory to the /oem/sinumerik/hmi/

cfg/ directory. After this, a system restart is necessary.

Note

Subsequent changes

Once the file has been copied, no further settings (e.g. changing language) can be

implemented on the SINUMERIK Operate. If you want or need to implement changes later,

the systemconfiguration.ini file can be renamed (e.g., as systemconfiguration.save). After

this, a system restart is necessary. Following the restart, the full functional scope of

SINUMERIK Operate is available once again.

While the TCU is booting, progress is displayed after the BIOS has booted and before the

operating system is loaded. In addition to messages, the current booting status is also indicated

by a progress bar. While the IP address is being determined via DHCP and the TFTP is being

downloaded (boot image), a progress bar indicates that booting of the TCU is not yet complete,

or that a fault has occurred.

The structure of these messages is shown below:

Operator panel front: OP 08T

1.1

Description

The compact SINUMERIK OP 08T operator panel front enables a spatially distributed

configuration of the operator panel front and control.

The OP 08T operator panel front has a membrane keyboard with 79 keys (layout similar to

SINUMERIK CNC full keyboard KB 310C) as well as 2x8 horizontal and 2x8 vertical soft keys.

The distance to the operator panel fronts is determined by the maximum distance of two

network nodes / access points.

The OP 08T operator panel front is connected to the PCU / NCU via the Ethernet as thin client

in its own subnet (via DHCP server to PCU / NCU).

The mixed operation with an operator panel front is possible directly at the PCU.

The operator panel front is secured from the rear using special clamps supplied with the panel.

Preparing slide-in labels

Inserting symbols

1. Open the files "Template_OP08T_13.doc" and "Symbols_OP08T_13.doc" in MS Word.

2. Select a key symbol from the file "Symbols_OP08T_13.doc" by left-clicking.

3. Copy the desired key symbol to the clipboard via "Edit" → "Copy" or "Ctrl + C"

4. Return to the template file "Template_OP08T_13.doc"

5. Position the cursor before the insertion point in the desired table cell (in Fig.:

"Template_OP08T_13.doc the insertion point is displayed by "+").

6. Insert the key symbol via "Edit" → "Paste" or "Ctrl + V".

7. Repeat steps 2. to 6. until you have inserted all the key symbols.

Inserting characters/text

1. Open the "Template_OP08T_13.doc" files in the MS Word text processing program.

2. Set the "Arial" font to format characters.

(This font is comparable to the "Univers S57" font, used by Siemens for the key labeling.)

3. Position the cursor in the desired table cell and enter characters/text.

1.7.3

Printing the slide-in labels

1. Place the blank film in the printing direction in the slot of your laser printer (see figure Image

1-6 Blank film OP 08T (Page 20)).

2. Select "film" as the printable medium if your printer allows this setting.

3. Start the printing process using MS Word.

Note

For labeling the slide-in labels, HP Color Laser Jet film C2936A is used.

Make a test print on paper before you print on the film.

Allow the film to cool after printing so that the ink can dry.

4. Cut the slide-in labels out of the film along the edges (see Image 1-7

Template_OP08T_13.doc (blank template for film) (Page 21))..

5. Round off the corners of the slide-in labels approx. 3 mm to facilitate insertion.
