Two-stage procedure
In the first stage, all channel groups that are to be used in the system are defined in file
NETNAMES.INI, irrespective of the actual operating stations.
A channel group is specified as follows:
[CH_GRP_1]
/*
/*
/*
/*
Name of the channel group; the notation
must follow this scheme.
The groups are consecutively numbered
in the last digit.
Text = Process1
/*
/*
Softkey text for the channel group for
display in the channel menu (horizontal
softkey)
Member1.Target = NCU730PN-IP3.#1
/*
/*
/*
/*
/*
/*
/*
/*
Switchover target 1 of channel group
computer name (host name) or
permanent IP address of the computer
on which the HMI to be selected runs
(NCU or PCU) ".#channelnumber" can
be optionally used to specify the NC
channel to be assumed on switchover.
Member1.Text = NCU730_K1
/*
/*
/*
Softkey text for display in the channel
menu (vertical softkey) Texts containing
a blank must be quoted in " ".
Member2.Target =
/* analog
Member2.Text =
/* analog
The file NETNAMES.INI must be distributed to all systems (NCU, PCU) on which an HMI
runs, i.e. for HMI sl on NCU, this file must be placed in directory
/oem/sinumerik/hmi/cfg or /user/sinumerik/hmi/cfg, for HMI Advanced it must be placed in
directory F:\OEM or F:\USER\.
The second step is to define the characteristics of each individual operating station by
specifying the channel groups relevant to that station in the station's own CONFIG.INI file in
section [T2M2N].
The CONFIG.INI files are located on the NCU in the directories:
/user/common/tcu/<TCU-NAME>/common/tcu/config.ini
On the PCU 50.3, they are to be found at:
F:\user_base\common\tcu\<TCU-NAME>\common/tcu/config.ini
For <TCU-NAME>, the TCU name of the operating station, as assigned on the system
during initial booting of a TCU, must be used.
