WARNING
Electric shock and danger to life due to other energy sources
Touching live components can result in death or severe injury.
• Only work on electrical devices when you are qualified for this job.
• Always observe the country-specific safety rules.
Generally, the following steps apply when establishing safety:
1. Prepare for disconnection. Notify all those who will be affected by the procedure.
2. Isolate the drive system from the power supply and take measures to prevent it being
switched back on again.
3. Wait until the discharge time specified on the warning labels has elapsed.
4. Check that there is no voltage between any of the power connections, and between any of
the power connections and the protective conductor connection.
5. Check whether the existing auxiliary supply circuits are de-energized.
6. Ensure that the motors cannot move.
7. Identify all other dangerous energy sources, e.g. compressed air, hydraulic systems, or
water. Switch the energy sources to a safe state.
8. Check that the correct drive system is completely locked.
After you have completed the work, restore the operational readiness in the inverse sequence.
WARNING
Electric shock due to connection to an unsuitable power supply
When equipment is connected to an unsuitable power supply, exposed components may carry
a hazardous voltage. Contact with hazardous voltage can result in severe injury or death.
• Only use power supplies that provide SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) or PELV- (Protective
Extra Low Voltage) output voltages for all connections and terminals of the electronics
modules.
WARNING
Electric shock due to equipment damage
Improper handling may cause damage to equipment. For damaged devices, hazardous
voltages can be present at the enclosure or at exposed components; if touched, this can result
in death or severe injury.
• Ensure compliance with the limit values specified in the technical data during transport,
storage and operation.
• Do not use any damaged devices.
WARNING
Electric shock due to unconnected cable shields
Hazardous touch voltages can occur through capacitive cross-coupling due to unconnected
cable shields.
• As a minimum, connect cable shields and the cores of cables that are not used at one end
at the grounded housing potential.
WARNING
Electric shock if there is no ground connection
For missing or incorrectly implemented protective conductor connection for devices with
protection class I, high voltages can be present at open, exposed parts, which when touched,
can result in death or severe injury.
• Ground the device in compliance with the applicable regulations.
NOTICE
Damage to equipment due to unsuitable tightening tools.
Unsuitable tightening tools or fastening methods can damage the screws of the equipment.
• Only use screw inserts that exactly match the screw head.
• Tighten the screws with the torque specified in the technical documentation.
• Use a torque wrench or a mechanical precision nut runner with a dynamic torque sensor and
speed limitation system.
• Adjust the tools used regularly.
WARNING
Spread of fire from built-in devices
Built-in devices can cause a fire and a pressure wave in the event of a fault. Fire and smoke can
escape from the control cabinet and cause serious personal injury and property damage.
• Install built-in appliances in a robust metal control cabinet that is suitable for protecting
people from fire and smoke.
• Only operate built-in devices with the control cabinet doors closed.
• Ensure that smoke can only escape via controlled and monitored paths.
CAUTION
Symptomatic respiratory and skin reaction to chemicals
A newly purchased product might contain traces of substances that are identified as sensitizers.
Sensitizers are substances which can cause sensitization in the lungs and skin after exposure
to them.
Once sensitized, individuals can have severe reactions to further exposure, even in small
amounts. In the most extreme cases, individuals might develop asthma or dermatitis
respectively.
• If the product has a strong smell, keep it in a well-ventilated area for 14 days.
WARNING
Unexpected machine movement caused by radio devices or mobile phones
Using radio devices, cellphones, or mobile WLAN devices 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, cellphones or WLAN devices.
• 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.
WARNING
Unexpected movement of machines caused by inactive safety functions
Inactive or non-adapted safety functions can trigger unexpected machine movements that
may result in serious injury or death.
• Observe the information in the appropriate product documentation before commissioning.
• Carry out a safety inspection for functions relevant to safety on the entire system, including
all safety-related components.
• Ensure that the safety functions used in your drives and automation tasks are adjusted and
activated through appropriate parameterizing.
• Perform a function test.
• Only put your plant into live operation once you have guaranteed that the functions
relevant to safety are running correctly.
Note
Important Safety instructions for Safety Integrated
If you want to use Safety Integrated functions, you must observe the Safety instructions in the
Safety Integrated documentation.
WARNING
Malfunctions of the machine as a result of incorrect or changed parameter settings
As a result of incorrect or changed parameterization, machines can malfunction, which in turn
can lead to injuries or death.
• Protect the parameterization against unauthorized access.
• Handle possible malfunctions by taking suitable measures, e.g. emergency stop or
emergency off.
NOTICE
Equipment damage due to electric fields or electrostatic discharge
Electric fields or electrostatic discharge can cause malfunctions through damaged individual
components, integrated circuits, modules or devices.
• Only pack, store, transport and send electronic components, modules or devices in their
original packaging or in other suitable materials, e.g conductive foam rubber of aluminum
foil.
• Only touch components, modules and devices when you are grounded by one of the
following methods:
– Wearing an ESD wrist strap
– Wearing ESD shoes or ESD grounding straps in ESD areas with conductive flooring
• Only place electronic components, modules or devices on conductive surfaces (table with

Objective
A restore point writes a compressed copy of the CNC software and software extensions installed
on the SSD memory to the SD Card so that for device replacement only the SD Card has to be
inserted into the spare part NCU or PPU.
To restore the SSD memory after replacing a part (Page 37), you need one of the following
installation files (*.tgz):
• Restore point: /install/siemens/snapshot-siemens_<xxx>.tgz
or:
• Original CNC software: /install/siemens/current.tgz
Note
Creating a restore point
When creating a restore point, an existing "current.tgz" is overwritten, i.e. the CNC software
supplied with the SD Card is replaced by the software currently installed on the NCU/PPU.
Procedure
To create a restore point on an SD Card:
1. Run-up of the control system with SINUMERIK service system.
2. In the main menu, select the menu command "Backup NCU Software and Data".

chapter).
• Switch off the control and disconnect the SINUMERIK service system.
• Set the rotary switch to position 0 for normal run-up and switch on the control.
Procedure
To expand the memory of the Linux partition on a brand-new SD Card:
1. Run-up of the control system with SINUMERIK service system.
2. In the main menu, select the menu command "Diagnosis".
3. Select the menu command "Check storage integrity" to start a fault check and to activate the
journal:
With a brand-new SD Card, the Linux partition is adapted during this process. After checking
with "Check storage integrity", this partition will be expanded to about 8 GB.
Precondition
The SD Card has a backup snapshot-siemens_<xxx>.tgz with restore point (Page 30).
Procedure
To restore the SSD memory data:
1. Run-up of the control system with SINUMERIK service system.
2. In the main menu, select the menu command "Restore NCU Software and Data".
3. Select the menu command "Restore from system restore point on SD card".
Service shell
Note
Calling a service command
The service commands are only available in the "Service Shell" on the SINUMERIK service system.
The service command "sc" is a tool used for performing service tasks in the Service Shell. An
onboard keyboard is available for making entries:
To get a list of all of the actions with a brief description, enter "sc help". After an action,
further parameters or options can follow.
The access level (privilege) that the execution requires is noted for each individual action.
Default users
The following users are already set up:
NOTICE
Change password
To increase system security, you should change the passwords in the Linux system for users
"manufact", "service" and "user" analogous to the passwords for the NC access levels: Security
information (Page 21)
Example:
An action marked with the "user" authorization can also always be executed by members
of the groups "service" and "manufact". Actions with the authorization "none" can be called
by any users. If a user does not have the required privileges, the following error message is
output:
Action "ACTION" needs at least GROUP privilege level.
Syntax
"sc" in the command line is essentially not case-sensitive. The following entries are therefore
interpreted as identical:
sc help show
SC help SHOW
sc HeLp sHoW
Examples:
• Names completely in upper case represent objects to be used depending on the situation.
Example: sc help ACTION
In this case, ACTION is to be replaced by the action for which you want a description. If written
in lower case, however, the entry should be entered as specified.
• Square brackets indicate optional entries.
Example: sc help [ACTION]
In this case the specification of an action is optional, which means that you can enter an
action, but do not have to. Square brackets may also be nested:
... [USERNAME[/DOMAIN]] ...
In this case, USERNAME and DOMAIN are both optional, but you can only enter a DOMAIN if
you have also entered the USERNAME.
• Alternatives are separated with "|".
Example: sc start all|system|SUBSYSTEM
This means that any of the following commands applies:
sc start all
sc start system
sc start SUBSYSTEM
In the latter case, SUBSYSTEM in upper case can be replaced by an actual subsystem name.
7.1.1 Help
Description
Description
The partitions of an SD Card are restored with the sdcard.img image using command "sc clear
sdcard".
Note
SD Card image
Use the SD Card image and a data backup to restore the SD Card after partition damage. The
SD Card image is available on PridaNet.
sc clear sdcard
7.1.3 Disable
Description
The "sc disable" command switches the specified subsystems off. These subsystems are then
not loaded again at the next cold restart. You can also switch several subsystems off with a
single "disable" command. "hmi", "nck" or any other subsystem names can be used for the
subsystems.
"sc disable IPAlias" deactivates the second alias IP address on the X120 network interface.
This is only supported for X120. The IP address itself has the usual notation with four
numbers separated by decimal points. If not specified, the subnet mask is determined from
the class (A/B/C) of the IP address or specified explicitly. The CIDR notation (number of bits of
the network section) is also possible.
Note
The "sc disable" command acts on the parameters in the basesys.ini file located in the user/
system/etc/basesys.ini directory.
7.1.4 Enable
Description
Note
The "sc enable" command acts on the parameters in the basesys.ini file located in the user/
system/etc/basesys.ini directory.
7.1.5 Distribute
Description
distribute tcudata
Note
This command can be performed on any machine in the system network, not only on the active
server. A message is always sent to the active server.
7.1.6 Vncpwd
Description
The following actions are executed using command "sc vncpwd":
• sc vncpwd set to assign a password.
• sc vncpwd reset to delete a password.
Note
Password in the network
In the network (factory network or company network), in order to access any server (NCU) in the
network from a TCU (client) via a VNC connection, all servers should use the same password.
Storage path
For a Linux system, a file template is available under the following path:

user/system/etc/basesys.ini
Use
Settings are made in the basesys.ini file that specify the behavior of the system in the network.
The file contains the descriptions for all of the settings.
To edit the basesys.ini file:
• Comments are introduced by ';' or '#' at the beginning of the line, and span the width of the
line. Empty lines are also handled as comments.
• The sections that start with a "[NAME]" line are ignored by the basic system itself, but are
sometimes used by the HMI.
• Variable definitions are written in the form "NAME=VALUE". Blanks are permitted around the
'=' character. The value may also be enclosed in double quotation marks, but this is optional.
Note
SINUMERIK Operate
To make settings in the file basesys.ini, dialogs are available in the SINUMERIK Operate in the
"Commissioning" operating area for adapting the individual parameters.
Procedure:
1. On the FAT partition of the SINUMERIK service system, store the file basesys.ini in the
following directory: /data/system/etc/
2. In the basesys.ini file the default IP addresses are adjusted in the following section:
[ExternalInterface]
ExternalIP=210.210.210.210
ExternalNetMask=255.255.255.0
InternalIP=192.168.214.1
InternalNetMask=255.255.255.0
Gateway=210.210.210.1
Nameservers=210.210.210.1 210.210.210.2
Hostname=somename
Domain=example.com
InternalIP_Alias=192.168.216.1
InternalNetMask_Alias=255.255.255.0
DHCPClientID=@MAC
InternalDynRangeStart=192.168.214.10
InternalDynRangeEnd=192.168.214.239
Result: After restarting with the SINUMERIK service system, only the entries from the
[ExternalInterface] section are transferred. The changes in the IP address range are effective
once for this boot process.
Service programs
The following service programs support you during commissioning and service tasks:
• WinSCP is a graphic, open-source SFTP and FTP client for Microsoft Windows, which also
supports the old SCP protocol. It offers protected data and file transfer between different
computers, effectively providing the user with a protected "tunnel".
Download: WinSCP (https://winscp.net)
• PuTTY is free software for establishing connections via Secure Shell, Telnet, remote login or
serial interfaces. PuTTY serves as a client and establishes the connection to a server. During
connection setup, the identity of the user is checked using one of the authentication
methods provided.
Download: PuTTY (https://www.putty.org)
• Win32 Disk Imager for Microsoft Windows systems writes images to a mobile storage
medium (USB storage medium or SD Card). The compact open-source software allows Linux
images to be written to a storage medium so that they can be booted from there. Admin
rights on the computer are necessary for installing software.
Download: Win 32 Disk Imager (https://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/)
TFTP Trivial File Transfer Protocol: very simple data transmission protocol
UDP User Datagram Protocol: NTP is mostly processed via UDP.
