NOTICE

Loss of additional languages during software upgrade

All the system languages are overwritten during software upgrades. If there are more

languages in the system than in the upgrade archive, these additional languages are lost when

the archive is read in. It is not possible to back up the languages before software upgrade.

Note

Reading in a start-up archive with drive configurations will overwrite the drives in the logdrive.ini

file. The system creates a backup copy with the name logdrive_ini.sav or logdrive.oldstyle.

Before the archive is read in, the new drive configurations are activated.

Note

To prevent the NCU from shutting down unintentionally, you must disable all energy saving

profiles before you read in a start-up archive.

15.2 Settings of the system network

Setting

Description

Timeout when waiting for master

Specifies a maximum waiting time (in seconds) for

the response of the master server (see DHCP server

synchronization mode). After this time elapses, the

server itself becomes the active server.

This additional pause makes it possible for the in-

tended DHCP master to become the active DHCP

server without displacement even if it is shortly

switched on thereafter, or takes longer to boot than

other controls.

Default: 120 seconds

Host name

Assigns the DHCP server a fixed host name. In this

way, the server can also be addressed via the host

name and not only via the IP address.

Because the host name is also used as DNS name, it

must satisfy the corresponding requirements of the

RFC:

• ASCII letters (a-z, A-Z), digits (0-9) and '-'

• maximum 63 characters

DNS domain

This is used to specify the Top Level Domain (TLD)

name used in the system network. The DNS server

of the NCU assigns names to the devices in the sys-

tem network in this zone. Name requests for all

other zones are forwarded to an external name

server in the company network.

The "local" default setting recommended by the

RFC1035 is used for local networks, to avoid con-

flicts with globally defined domain names. As a

rule, this default setting is sufficient.

PN station name

A separate machine name can be defined here for

PROFINET purposes. This is used at the ERTEC in-

terface (when available), transferred to the ERTEC

system program and also used by DCP at this net-

work interface.

Station name

This string is used for the SINUMERIK-specific OID

mcSinumerikMIB.mcSinumerikMiscStation. The

value is the name of a station to which the device

belongs. Devices with the same station name can

therefore be identified as belonging together. This

is for information purposes only.

Location

This string is used for the standard OID SNMPv2-

MIB::sysLocation. If required, a location can be

specified here which can be called by an SNMP cli-

ent. This is for information purposes only.

Contact person

This string is used for the standard OID SNMPv2-

MIB::sysContact. If required, a contact address can

be specified here which can be called by an SNMP

client. This is for information purposes only.

Settings of the factory network

The network interface, active protocols and firewall exceptions of the company network are

configured in the "Settings of the company network" window.

Setting

Description

Gateway

If this value is not empty, the host specified there is

used as the default gateway, which means that all

IP packets that cannot be directly assigned are sent

there for routing.

DNS server

If DNS name servers are specified here (maximum

three), then they must be used to resolve symbolic

host names, i.e. at most of the points where an IP

address is expected, a computer name can also be

used instead.

The name server setting is also sent to its DHCP

clients (TCU, PG) via the DHCP server of the NCU, so

that they can also work with symbolic names.

Time server

Here you can specify up to three NTP servers (UDP/

123) that can be used by the NTPD on the NCU for

time synchronization.

T:M:N configuration

By T:M:N configuration we mean a grouping of t operating stations (TCUs with MCP), m HMI

systems and n NCK systems, in which the operating stations can be freely switched to the various

HMI systems in order to operate. In a two-stage process, the switchover targets for each

operating station are individually configured in a channel menu.

From the point of view of the HMI, T:M:N operation is active if a channel menu is configured.

Available switchover targets are defined directly via the address of the HMI and optionally via an

NC channel, which must be assumed on switchover from the HMI. These switchover targets can

be combined into so-called channel groups. Channel groups are displayed on horizontal softkeys

in the channel menu, the switchover targets themselves (HMI, NC channel) are displayed on the

vertical softkeys assigned to a channel group.

The values in green should be set corresponding to the overall system.

Then restart the NCU.

Error cause 3.2

The NCU has an IP address that does not match the network or has an invalid IP address.

The NCU participates in DHCP operation and the NCU is an active DHCP/DNS server (either as a

result of the DHCP SyncMode ON_MASTER or as a result of the Sync priority - just the same as

the other server candidates and random selection). The NCU is set with an incorrect IP address

and an incorrect IP range for the IP addresses that can be dynamically allocated. The NCU

possibly changed from DHCP standby to active server as the computer with DHCP MASTER has

failed/has been switched-off.

Remedy 3.2

The same as for remedy 3.1

Error cause 3.3

The NCU has an IP address that does not match the network or has an invalid IP address.

The NCU participates in DHCP operation and operates with the incorrect IP address. After the

NCU booted, an additional component that is already operational (NCU or PCU) with active

DHCP server was connected to the network. An additional active DHCP server was switched into

the system network while operational; this active DNCP server has an incorrect address range.

This is a configuration error.

Remedy 4.2

The same as for remedy 4.1

Error cause 4.3

The NCU has a valid IP address in the system network, however, not the required IP address.

The NCU participates in DHCP operation and was not able to obtain the corresponding required

IP with the target address saved in the MMC.INI; this is the reason that it was dynamically

allocated an address. A reason for this could be that the required IP was configured twice in the

system network, or the required IP is not in the reserved range, but is located in the dynamic

address range. This is a configuration error.

Remedy 4.3

The same as for remedy 4.1

Error cause 4.4

The NCU has a valid IP address in the system network, however, not the required IP address.

The NCU participates in DHCP operation as DHCP client and has a required IP that has been set

but which does not match the system network. For instance, this situation occurs if a network

address was used in the system network other than the default network address, but it was

forgotten to change over the required IP of the NCU to this address range. The NCU is allocated

an IP address that matches the system network from the dynamically allocated range, but

which is different from its 'old' required IP that was not changed over. Up to and including SW

2.4.1, in this situation, the NCU cannot be addressed in the system network. The reason for this

is that it has internally established its firewall regarding the required IP that was entered for it,

which does not match the system network - which is why it does not respond at X120.

Possible error causes and remedies

There is no physical connection.

Possible error causes include:

• A switch is not closed/has failed; this can also be the switch of an MCP

• An incorrect cable was used (crossover/not crossover)

• A cable being used as data link is defective

Remedy 5.1

15.6.2.4

TCU cannot establish a network connection to the HMI

Error

Possible error causes and remedies

When booting, TCU signals 'ERROR: Network connection not established'.

Cause of the error

There is no physical connection.

Notice: The display only refers to the situation where the direct connection of the TCU to the next

connection nodes has not been established, i.e.

• The Ethernet cable is not directly inserted at the TCU,

• The Ethernet cable is not inserted at the direct connection partner or the partner is not avail-

able (e.g. MCP),

• The Ethernet cable at the TCU is defective.

Remedy

Establish the physical network connection (check the plug-in connections, replace the cable,

check the connection partner).

Once the connection has been established, the TCU continues to boot.

When the TCU boots, it signals 'connection established - no DHCPServer available'.

Cause of the error

The physical network connection does not exist after the next connection node to the system

network. There is no physical connection from the TCU to the computer with the active DHCP

server. The cables are either defective, have not been inserted or switches have not been closed.

Switches can also be located on the MCP or distribution box.

Remedy

Establish the physical network connection (check the plug-in connections, replace the cable,

check the connection partner).

Once the connection has been established, the TCU continues to boot.

When the TCU boots, it signals 'connection established - no DHCPServer available'. There is a physical network connection to

the system network.

Error

Possible error causes and remedies

No active DHCP server is found in the system network.

Possible error causes include:

• Only a single computer has been configured in the system network with active DHCP server -

and this computer is not available. The system network is not operated with synchronizing

DHCP servers.

• No computer has been configured in the system network with active DHCP server. DHCP

operation is disabled on all potential computers (NCU, PCU). This is a configuration error.

• In the system network, there is no NCU or PCU computer available that has DHCP operation

activated on it and could be a server.

Remedy

In the system network, configure a computer that is available as DHCP server.

After it has booted, the TCU displays 'Waiting for HMI'. (The TCU cannot establish its connection to the HMI.)

Error cause 1

The connection to the HMI has not been established - neither the connection configured in

config.ini nor the default connection. An incorrect address for the HMI connection after booting

has been set in the config.ini file.

Remedy

Correct the configuration using the "System Network Center" program. The TCU automatically

reboots.

Error cause 2

The connection to the HMI has not been established - neither the connection configured in

config.ini nor the default connection. The computer, to which the TCU should connect after

booting according to the configuration in config.ini, cannot be reached because the computer is

not switched on/is not available.

Remedy

Switch off the computer (NCU or PCU) and switch on again.

Error cause 3

The connection to the HMI has not been established - neither the connection configured in

config.ini nor the default connection. The HMI on the computer, to which the TCU should connect

after booting according to the configuration in config.ini, cannot be reached because the HMI is

deactivated.

Remedy

Activate the HMI on the NCU using the service command sc enable HMI.

Error cause 4

The connection to the HMI has not been established - neither the connection configured in

config.ini nor the default connection. The HMI on the computer, to which the TCU should connect

after booting according to the configuration in config.ini, cannot be reached because the HMI has

either not start or has crashed due to a software error.

Remedy

The TCU cannot establish a network connection to the assigned PCU

Error

Possible error causes and remedies

The PCU does not have the IP address specified in the configuration, but an address from the IP range of the system network that

can be dynamically allocated. In this error case, the TCU cannot reach its configured PCU for display.

Error cause 1

IP address assigned twice

The PCU has a default IP address which is also configured for another NCU/PCU. This means that

an IP address has been assigned twice and therefore there is a system configuration error.

The PCU is not an active DHCP server (otherwise, it would have the required IP), however, it is

operated in the synchronizing DHCP mode. As the address requested from the PCU has already

been assigned, the PCU is allocated an address from the dynamic address range via DHCP.

Remedy

A decision has to be made which computer should keep the IP address that has been assigned

twice. If it is the PCU, then

• on the PCU, under network settings, this address should be again set as fixed IP address in the

system network,

• at the NCU/PCU which runs in the DHCP synchronization mode ON_MASTER, a 'Clear DHCP'

should be executed (for an NCU sc command sc clear dhcp -X120, for a PCU using the "System

Network Center" program).

• at the computer, which uses the IP address assigned twice as second computer, the IP address

should be re-configured. Notice: If this is a PCU, then it should be linked to this new address

using the "System Network Center" program (this is the first screen in the program).

If the PCU is to change its address, then on the PCU

• under network settings, the new address should be set as fixed IP address in the system

network,

• linked to this new address using the "System Network Center" program (first screen in the

program)

• at the NCU/PCU, which runs in the DHCP synchronization mode ON_MASTER, a 'Clear DHCP'

should be executed (for an NCU using the sc command, for a PCU, using the "System Network

Center" program).

Restart the system.

Error cause 2

This was preceded by replacing the PCU hardware.

As a result of the hardware replacement, in spite of the same settings of the new PCU, the

requested (set) IP address is still internally reserved for the previous hardware as this is an inherent

feature of the system. The PCU is either active or non-active DHCP server, however, is operated in

the synchronizing DHCP mode. As the address requested from the PCU is still reserved, the PCU is

allocated an address from the dynamic address range via DHCP.

Remedy

Perform the following steps:

• Under network settings, on the PCU, set the required address again as fixed IP address in the

system network.

• At the NCU/PCU, which runs in the DHCP synchronization mode ON_MASTER or is active DHCP

server, execute a 'Clear DHCP' (for an NCU using the sc command sc clear dhcp -X120, for a

PCU, using the "System Network Center" program).

• Restart the system.

Axis diagnostics

Application

The following information is displayed in the "Service Overview" window:

• Check of the setpoint branch (e.g. programmed position setpoint, speed setpoint, spindle

speed setpoint)

• Check of the actual value branch (e.g. actual position value, measuring system 1 or 2, actual

speed value)

• Optimization of the position control loop of the axis (e.g. following error, control deviation,

servo gain factor)

• Check of the entire control loop of the axis (e.g. through position setpoint/actual-value

comparison and speed setpoint/actual-value comparison)

• Check of hardware errors (e.g. by checking the encoder: If the axis is moved mechanically,

the actual position value must change)

• Setting and checking the axis monitoring functions.
