2.3 Configuration file "basesys.ini"
Storage path
For a Linux basic system, a template of the file is provided on the system CompactFlash card
under the following path:
card/siemens/system/etc/template-basesys.ini
Copy this template with the name basesys.ini into one of the following directories:
oem/system/etc/basesys.ini
user/system/etc/basesys.ini
Use
Settings are made in the basesys.ini file that specify the behavior of the system in the network.
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
Suitable editors for Linux
In most Linux system files, lines may only be ended with LF, and not with CRLF as in
Windows. Please take note of this when selecting an editor. The HMI application editor
under "Commissioning” is suitable.
In the Linux operating system, the UNIX editor vi is available.
Please take note that the Linux operating system is case-sensitive.
Reference
To make settings in the basesys.ini file, dialogs are provided in the "Commissioning" operating
area in SINUMERIK Operate in order to display or modify the values of the individual variables:
