2.3 Data classes in the operating software
Representing the data classes in the operating software
The arrangement in data classes is essentially already given by the directory structure of the
CompactFlash card:
Directory Data class
system
siemens
SYSTEM
addon MANUFACTURER
oem MANUFACTURER, INDIVIDUAL
individual MANUFACTURER, INDIVIDUAL
user USER
The directories "System" and "Siemens" have no significance for archiving, since they are set
up with the installation of the SINUMERIK software and are not changed by installation,
configuration or in later use. An update or upgrade of the system will typically be carried out
in these directories. The archiving of these directories is for this reason only necessary as a
rollback backup in the background.
Further subdividing of these directories into SINUMERIK NCK / PLC / HMI and SINAMICS
covers the data areas described above and is echoed in all named directories (data classes).

Structure of the CompactFlash card
The file system comprises
the uppermost level of the directories "addon", "individual", "oem",
"siemens" and "user": These directories have essentially an identical structure.
The section of the directory structure relevant for the configuration is shown below:
siemens directory
/siemens/sinumerik
/hmi
/appl Applications (operating areas)
/base Basic system components
/cfg All configuration files
/data Version data
/hlp Online help files
/hlps Online help files, zipped and version files
/ico Icon files
