• To inform the machine manufacturer / end user of the various ways of expanding the standard help system. • The instructions explain how the HMI user interface provided by Siemens / the machine manufacturer, can be modified easily by the machine manufacturer / end user to meet their specific requirements.
• Directly noted cycle calls • Siemens cycle calls • User cycle calls. For Siemens cycles, the required configuration files are included in the scope of supply. For screen forms generated with the Expand user interface function for the purpose of supporting user cycles, the information in the screen form descriptive files can be used for this process.

Hotkeys 1 – 8 are assigned to the keys of the Ops (refer to 5.1.1 OP hotkeys). Hotkeys 9 –49 are reserved for Siemens. PLC-specific keys from 50 - 254 are also available. These keys are not actual hotkeys, but are used for selecting screen forms via the PLC (virtual keys).
In the PLC interface area DB19. Byte10 is provided for key selection. Here, the PLC can select one key between 50 and 254 directly. (Keys 1 to 49 are reserved for Siemens, keys 50-254 are specific PLC keys.) Note In M:N mode, the area for the 2nd HMI interface is DB19.Byte60;...

Signal cables and load cables must be routed at the greatest possible distance from one another. • Only cables supplied by SIEMENS may be used as signal cables to and from the NCU and PLC. • Signal cables must not be laid in the close vicinity of strong magnetic fields (e.g., motors and transformers).
Starting Up HMI Embedded (IM2) 4 Functions/Parameterization 4.1 Access protection using password and keylock switch Access levels for enabling data areas are implemented in the SINUMERIK 840D sl. These are subdivided into: • 4 password levels for Siemens, machine manufacturer and end user.

PLC alarm texts and messages, are to be inserted. With Sinumerik 840D sl, all alarm text files are stored in the CompactFlash card's file system. The file system is subdivided into the directories (subtrees) "siemens", "addon", "oem", and "user".
Page 355
There are two ways to create or edit alarm text files. 1. You can copy the default files on the CompactFlash card from the "siemens" area, edit them as required and store them in your own "oem" or "user" areas.
Page 362
To store the data to the CompactFlash card you need the license enable for the additional 256 MB HMI user memory. NC/ PLC The entire data backup with the SINUMERIK 840D sl is divided into 1. Data backup for NCK 2. Data backup for PLC 3.
