138 HEIDENHAIN Technical Manual MANUALplus 620
Software updates and service packs are installed in the same manner.
The NC software has been prepared in such a manner that when an update
is performed or a service pack loaded, the PLC program, the machine
configuration or data on the PLC partition can be updated as well, according
to the OEM’s specific requirements. The OEM uses the HEIDENHAIN PC
software PLCdesignNT to add all necessary files to the setup.zip archive.
These files are copied to the appropriate locations on the control during an
update.
Procedure for
exchanging the NC
software
To install an NC software update, proceed as follows:
If the machine is running, shut down the control by pressing the OFF soft
key.
Switch off the machine.
If the new NC software is stored on a USB memory stick or a USB hard disk,
connect the storage medium to a free USB socket.
Switch the machine back on again.
When the screen turns blue while the control is starting up, press the DEL
key on the operating panel repeatedly. You must not hold down the DEL
key. The control interrupts the boot process and a login message of the
HEIDENHAIN operating system will be displayed:
Enter 049866931 or 1 for "User name." If a USB keyboard is connected to
the control, you can also enter update as an alternative.
Press the ENT key or the RETURN key on the external USB keyboard.
For detailed information on how to add OEM specific files to the setup
packet, refer to the online help for PLCdesignNT under “Generate Machine
Setup.” The support necessary for this from PLCdesignNT will be available
starting from version 2.5.
