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.

Licensing

4.1

SINUMERIK License Key

Basic information on license keys

If a license is required for a product, then with the purchase of the license the purchaser receives

a CoL as proof for the rights to use this product and a corresponding license key as to the

"technical representative" of this license. In conjunction with software products, the license key

usually must be available on the hardware on which the software product is executed.

Note

Trial license

A trial license supports "short-term use" of the software in a non-productive context, e.g. use for

testing and evaluation purposes; it can be transitioned into another license.

SINUMERIK license keys

Depending on the software product, there are license keys with different technical properties.

The essential properties of a SINUMERIK license key are:

• Hardware serial number

Via the hardware serial number contained in the SINUMERIK License Key, there is a direct

relationship between the License Key and the hardware on which it may be used. That means

a License Key that was generated for the hardware serial number of a certain CompactFlash

card is also only valid on this CompactFlash card and rejected as invalid on another

CompactFlash card.

• Total number of assigned licenses

A SINUMERIK license key not only refers to a single license, instead it is the "technical

representative" of all licenses that are assigned to the hardware at the time of its generation.

Content of the CompactFlash card

The CompactFlash card contains the system and user software, the retentive system and user

data, along with the data relevant for the license management of SINUMERIK software products

of a control system:

• Hardware serial number

• License information including the license key

The CompactFlash card thus represents the identity of a SINUMERIK controller. For this reason,

assigning licenses to a controller always occurs using the hardware serial number.

This has the advantage that the CompactFlash card can be inserted into a replacement NCU in

the event of failure and all data is retained.

Licensing

4.1 SINUMERIK License Key

CompactFlash card as a spare part

If the CompactFlash card of a SINUMERIK controller is replaced, for example, because of

defective hardware, the license key loses its validity and the system is no longer operational.

In case of defective hardware of the CompactFlash card, contact the "Technical Support". They

will then send you a new license key without delay. The following data is required:

• Hardware serial number of the defective CompactFlash card

• Hardware serial number of the new CompactFlash card

Note

Only CompactFlash cards can be used that were released as spare part, as only these are

known to the license database.

Determining the hardware serial number

The hardware serial number is a permanent part of the CompactFlash card. It is used to identify

a control system uniquely. The hardware serial number can be determined by:

• Certificate of License (CoL)

• SINUMERIK user interface

• Label on the CompactFlash card

Note

Hardware serial number and CoL

The hardware serial number is located only on a CoL of the system software or if the license

was ordered bundled, in other words the system software came together with options.

4.2 Web License Manager

4.2

Web License Manager

Overview

The use of the installed system software and the options activated on a SINUMERIK control

system require that the licenses purchased for this purpose are assigned to the hardware. In the

course of this assignment, a license key is generated from the license numbers of the system

software, the options, as well as the hardware serial number. Here, a license database

administered by Siemens is accessed via the Internet. Finally, the license information including

the license key is transferred to the hardware.

The license database can be accessed using the Web License Manager.

Web License Manager

By using the Web License Manager, you can assign licenses to the hardware in a standard Web

browser. To conclude the assignment, the license key must be entered at the controller via the

user interface.

License database access

The license database contains all relevant license information required for the license

management of SINUMERIK software products. The central management of the license

information in the license database ensures that the existing license information regarding a

piece of hardware is always up to date.

Direct access

The direct access in the Web License Manager is made with:

• License number

• Delivery note number

The direct access enables the direct assignment of licenses for which the license numbers are

available, e.g. in the form of a CoL.

Direct access with barcode scanner

The direct access in the Web License Manager is made with:

• Hardware serial number

• Product selection

The direct access enables the assignment of licenses with a barcode scanner for which the

license numbers are available as a barcode, for example in the form of a CoL.

Customer login

The customer login in the Web License Manager is made with:

• User name

• Password

The customer login enables the assignment of all the licenses available to the machine

manufacturer that are delivered at the time of the login and have not yet been assigned to any

machine. Here, the license numbers of licenses that can still be assigned need not be directly at

hand, instead these are displayed from within the license database.

"Identification" Web page is excluded from the automatic update.

Telegram lengths and I/O addresses

The telegram lengths and I/O addresses for communication between the PLC and the drive (can

be viewed via the object properties of the integrated SINAMICS) have already been pre-assigned

correctly and do not need to be configured.

5.2.7

Inserting an NX to the hardware configuration

Introduction

The NX must be wired to the NCU via the DRIVE-CLiQ. A DRIVE-CLiQ socket is permanently

preassigned for each address. The following table shows the wiring:

5.3.1

Requirements when configuring PROFINET

PROFINET IO IRT (Isochronous Real Time)

I/O modules and drives can use the isochronous PROFINET IO IRT. In addition to IRT, an RT

communication is also possible by default.

PROFINET IO IRT can be used by the PLC as PLC I/O and also by the NC. Drives are typically, but

not exclusively, configured as isochronous devices for use by the NC. The PROFINET IO IRT

devices operated isochronously by the PLC are typically I/O stations.

The concurrent operation of IRT "high performance" and CBA on the same PROFINET bus

interface is not supported. This means either NC drives via PROFINET IO with IRT or system

coupling via PROFINET CBA can be operated on an NCU.

The combination of isochronous PROFINET NC peripherals (drives, inputs/outputs) and NCU-

LINK is not supported.

5.3 Extending the SIMATIC S7 project (PROFINET)

Settings for isochronous operation

NC-controlled drives connected via PROFINET must be operated isochronously with the same

cycle clocks (Tdp, Ti and To) as the drives, which are connected via the integrated PROFIBUS. The

cycle clock settings are made in STEP 7 (HW Config). For a SINUMERIK, times Ti and To must

match in the complete system.

8. Drag the drive objects and drop them into the SINAMICS Control Unit.

The following sequence must be observed:

1. Number of SERVO DO for the axes

2. SINAMICS Control Unit

3. Infeed (optional)

To do this, the following telegrams are recommended:

- SIEMENS telegram 136, PZD-15/19 for a servo DO for an NC-controlled axis.

- SIEMENS telegram 390, PZD-2/2 for the Control Unit:

Telegram 390 is required for the time synchronization between the drive and the control

system. The time stamps of the drive alarms can then be compared to those of the control

system.

- SIEMENS telegram 370, PZD-1/1 for the infeed (ALM), if available.

5.3 Extending the SIMATIC S7 project (PROFINET)

Note

Topology-based device initialization

If a topology was defined in HW Config of the S7 project for the complete PROFINET IO system,

then it is no longer necessary to assign the device name ("initialization") by STEP 7. As a result

of the defined topology, the PLC-CPU automatically identifies and "initializes" the devices, the so-

called topology-based device initialization.

Displaying the device name in SINUMERIK Operate

The assigned name is output in the "PROFINET diagnostics" window as device name in

SINUMERIK Operate.

PROFINET naming conventions

Device names are assigned to the PROFINET IO devices during the commissioning phase.

In order to communicate with PROFINET devices, they must be initialized (assigned a name).

This name is the device name within the hardware configuration. This name must comply with

the PROFINET naming conventions. The rules of the naming conventions are checked by the

hardware configuration and, if required, corrected. Invalid characters are replaced by "X". The

following supplementary conditions must be maintained:

• Maximum length of 127 characters (letters "a" to "z", numbers "0" to "9", hyphen or period).

• A name component within the device name, e.g. a string between two periods, must not

exceed 63 characters.

• No special characters such as umlauts, parentheses, underscores, slashes, blanks, etc. are

permitted.

• The hyphen is the only special character permitted.

• Upper-case letters must not be used in device names.

• The device name must not begin or end with the "-" or "." character.

• The device name must not begin with numbers.

• The device name must not take the form n.n.n.n (n = 0...999).

• The device name must not start with the character string "port-xyz-" (x,y,z = 0...9).

Specifying device names for SINAMICS CU

Alternative procedure:

To permit the SINAMICS CU to be recognized by the SINUMERIK NCU and the communication via

X150 to be established, a device name must be assigned in the PLC configuring of the SINAMICS

Control Unit.

1. Establish an online connection to the target system via X150 with the PG/PC.

2. Select the SINAMICS Control Unit in HW Config.

3. Select the "Target system" → "Ethernet >" → "Assign device name" menu.
