Automated
updating of
machine
parameters
If new machine parameters are introduced as a part of a software update,
HEIDENHAIN creates "update rules" for the changes to the machine
configuration. These update rules are executed during the first restart after the
update and automatically make the changes to the configuration. During the
first booting after the update, the control therefore request you to check and
save the update rules and the changes made automatically to the machine
configuration.
You also have the possibility of using the OEM update rules to define changes
(e.g. inserting new PLC machine parameters or changing existing parameter
values) to the machine configuration and to perform the changes automatically
after the update.
Update rules are files of the *.cfg type, which contain instructions for
automated changes to the machine configuration.
For a description of how to create update rules, see „Update rules" on
page 351.
