Upgrading the main 
memory
Only necessary if the HDR features an NC software as of 34049x-04 and the main memory of 
the MC is less than 256 MB. 
With less working memory, the boot procedure is not completed! 
8 Clarify the NC software version of the HDR and the main memory of the MC.
8 Upgrade the main memory of the MC. Use the enclosed mounting instructions.
Adapting the 
MPNAME.MP
Only necessary if you want to transfer the backup files by means of Ethernet interface 
 and the NC software version of the control is lower than 340420-08!
If the file MPNAME.MP is now displayed on the screen:
8 Press END to restart the control.
Setting date and 
time on the control
8 Check the date and time of the control and reset it, if necessary. --> See “Setting the System 
Time” on page 12 – 159.
Setting up the data 
interface
8 Make the settings for Ethernet transmission on the control.  
--> See “Via Ethernet” on page 13 – 172.

Information” on page 26 – 443.
If you need another software version, it must be loaded now. --> Contact the machine 
manufacturer!
Restoring the data As you could probably not store data from the defective HDR, you must now go back to available 
archives (PLC-data, TNC-data) to restore data on the new HDR; if required, the machine 
manufacturer can also provide you with PLC or machine data.
8 Establish a connection between your laptop and the control. 
--> See “Connection Setup” on page 13 – 172.
If entries for additional control-loop indexes are now required in the machine parameter list 
(error message MP: not defined) or there seem to be too many control-loop indexes (error 
message MP: incorrect number), then ...
 Delete the MPNAME.MP. --> 
An adapted MPNAME.MP is generated automatically.
 Press END. -->  
The control boots and generates the Power interrupt message.
As of NC software version 340420-08, the code number NET 123 for setting up the Ethernet
