Fundamental safety instructions

1.1 General safety instructions

WARNING

Spread of fire from built-in devices

In the event of fire outbreak, the enclosures of built-in devices cannot prevent the escape of

fire and smoke. This can result in serious personal injury or property damage.

• Install built-in units in a suitable metal cabinet in such a way that personnel are protected

against fire and smoke, or take other appropriate measures to protect personnel.

• Ensure that smoke can only escape via controlled and monitored paths.

WARNING

Unexpected movement of machines caused by radio devices or mobile phones

Using radio devices or mobile telephones in the immediate vicinity of the components can

result in equipment malfunction. Malfunctions may impair the functional safety of machines

and can therefore put people in danger or lead to property damage.

• Therefore, if you move closer than 20 cm to the components, be sure to switch off radio

devices or mobile telephones.

• Use the "SIEMENS Industry Online Support app" only on equipment that has already been

switched off.

WARNING

Fire due to inadequate ventilation clearances

Inadequate ventilation clearances can cause overheating of components with subsequent fire

and smoke. This can cause severe injury or even death. This can also result in increased

downtime and reduced service lives for devices/systems.

• Ensure compliance with the specified minimum clearance as ventilation clearance for the

respective component.

NOTICE

Overheating due to inadmissible mounting position

The device may overheat and therefore be damaged if mounted in an inadmissible position.

• Only operate the device in admissible mounting positions.

3.1

Data structure of SINUMERIK Operate

For SINUMERIK Operate, all files are saved on the CompactFlash card (NCU) or to the hard disk

(PCU/IPC) or DVD (PC).

The file system is at the uppermost level:

• On the NCU in the "/System CF-Card/" directory

• On the PCU/IPC in the directory "C:\Program Files (x86)\Siemens\MotionControl"

• On the PC, the drive can be freely selected, e.g. "C:\Programs\siemens\sinumerik

The directory structure comprises the following directories:

• addon

• compat (PC/PCU/IPC only)

• oem

• siemens

• user

These directories have essentially an identical structure.

Note

The files in the “siemens” directory represent the original status and cannot be modified!

Files, whose contents can be supplemented or modified, are available as templates (specimen

files) in the following directories:

Access levels

4.19.1

Definition of access levels

Access to programs, data and functions is protected in a user-oriented hierarchical system of

seven access levels. These are divided into

• Three password levels for manufacturer, service and users

• Four keyswitch positions for users

There are access levels 1 to 7 (see table below); where

•

1 is the highest and

•

7 is the lowest level.

Password security

Note

Assigning secure passwords

Observe the following rules when assigning new passwords:

• When assigning new passwords, never choose passwords that can be easily guessed, e.g.

simple words, sequences of consecutive keys on the keyboard, etc.

• Passwords must always contain a combination of upper-case and lower-case letters as well

as numbers and special characters. Passwords must comprise at least eight characters. PINS

must comprise an arbitrary sequence of digits.

• Wherever possible and where it is supported by the IT systems and the software, a password

must always have a character sequence as complex as possible.

You can use a password management program to assist you when dealing with passwords. With

its help, you can save passwords and PINs in encrypted form, manage them and generate secure

passwords.

Note

Changing passwords between SINUMERIK Operate and NC

The access levels for SINUMERIK Operate and NC have been merged. Changing a password for

SINUMERIK Operate simultaneously changes the relevant NC password and vice versa. It is

important to note the following behavior:

• When a general NC reset is performed, no passwords are reset to the default passwords.

• Following a software upgrade, the SINUMERIK Operate passwords apply to the NC.

• Once changed, a password can no longer be reset - not even by SIEMENS service. The

possibility of resetting passwords violates requirements relating to IT security.

Therefore, make sure that you store the changed password in a safe place.

Losing a password means that the SINUMERIK system has to be completely reinstalled using

a backup file (restore).

Additional information on how to install a backup is provided in the

Commissioning Manual NCU Operating System.

Once selected, the identifier and position of the softkey are transferred to the "Softkey" column.

Result

When the changes have been accepted, a configuration file with the name "slsoftkeyaccess.xml"

is created and saved in the file system under the following path: ../user/sinumerik/hmi/cfg. Files

can also be saved on the /oem path; these files are evaluated when the system boots. The

following priority applies: oem < user.

Note

Editing the file "slsoftkeyaccess.xml"

In order to avoid errors in the xml syntax and for the softkey identifier the "slsoftkeyaccess.xml"

file may only be edited via the operating software as described above, and not directly in the file

system under "System data". It is possible that the complete file or individual entries for softkeys

can no longer be interpreted.
