Note
Distinguishing between TIA Portal project archives and SINUMERIK archives
SINUMERIK archives (*.zap14) have nothing in common with TIA Portal project archives
(*.arc):
• SINUMERIK archives contain precompiled commissioning data that you can import
directly to the NCU.
• TIA Portal project archives are compressed files, each of which contains a complete
project, including the complete folder structure of the project.
See: TIA Portal online help, search term "TIA Portal project archive".
