Manual update
The following procedure is used to perform a manual update (without a
setup.ini file in the setup directory) or an installation of a service pack:
HEIDENHAIN recommends using the PC program TNCremoNT from
HEIDENHAIN to make a backup for the control.
Connect the appropriate network drive or USB memory medium containing
the files necessary for the update (setup.zip, setup.elf). If the network
drive is not displayed, please proceed as follows:
• Enter the code number 95148 and confirm your entry with the ENT key.
• While in the Machine-parameter programming mode, press the PGM MGT
key.
• Press the NETWORK soft key.
• Select the PC to be connected with the arrow keys and press the CONNECT
DRIVE soft key.
• To exit the list of network drives, press the END soft key.
• To exit the program manager, press the END soft key.
• Press the END key to exit the Machine-parameter programming mode.
In the Programming and Editing mode, press the MOD key.
Enter the code number SETUP and confirm your entry with the ENT key.
In the upper part of the window, select the folder containing the setup files
for the new NC software, and confirm with the ENT key. The file to be called
for the installation (setup.elf) is displayed in the lower part of the window.
To switch to the lower part of the window, press the FILES soft key. (Press
the PATH soft key to return to the top part of the window.) In the lower part
of the window, select the *.elf file of the new NC software with the cursor
keys and press ENT. Following that, the NC software exchange will start.
Use the cursor keys to select the language desired for the update guidance,
and confirm your entry with the ENT key.
Choose the desired action for the event that there is not enough memory
available on the TNC or PLC partition for the binary to ASCII conversion:
- Cancel if not enough space: The update procedure is canceled if there
is not enough space available, and a message to this effect appears. In this
case you must save the files (*.h, *.i, and tables) externally, if they are
needed, and then remove them manually in order to make space for the
conversion.
- Delete largest files first: The largest files (*.h, *.i, and tables) are
deleted until there is enough space for the conversion.
- Delete oldest files first: The oldest files (*.h, *.i, and tables on the
PLC and TNC partitions) are deleted until there is enough space for the
conversion.
