Introduction
Overview for NCU
The MCIS DNC software is supplied on a CD-ROM.
● Copy the contents of the \SolutionLine directory on the CD-ROM to a directory on the
system CompactFlash card for SINUMERIK Operate, e.g. System CF-Card/user.
Overview for PCU
● If the controller does not have a CD-ROM drive, copy the contents of the CD-ROM via a
PG to a separate directory on the hard disk of the PCU.
Start the installation from the PCU.
Once the installation has completed, delete the directory again to release storage space
on the hard disk.
- OR ● If the controller is integrated in a network, start the installation from there.
● In all cases, read the supplied "siemens.txt" readme file!
Installation (PCU)
● Install any required additional components first.
● Make a backup of the system.
● Start the controller in service mode.
Note
Start the controller again in service mode if, after installing Microsoft® database access
components, a system reset is performed. Setup does not set the service mode.
Start setup using the parameter "/continue". Setup is continued at the point at which
installation was interrupted.
Note
If a setup dialog that recommends a restart is displayed after installation has been
completed, this restart must be performed.
Acknowledge this dialog.
The setup automatically performs the restart.
