January 2012 4.2 The "Machine Parameters" Mode of Operation 351
4.2.8 Update rules
Introduction You can use update rules to insert, delete, rename and move OEM machine
parameters. You can also change parameter types and the sizes of list fields.
The update rules define rules that are required for automatically updating the
machine parameters during a software update. To get to the update rules,
press the MORE FUNCTIONS soft key in the main menu of the Machine Parameter
mode of operation, and then the UPDATE RULES soft key.
If you want to transfer a new PLC program to the control, for example as part
of an NC-software update via USB stick, then often it is also necessary to
change or expand the OEM machine parameters. You can use the update
rules to have these changes performed automatically.
These update rules are also a tool for keeping track of the versions. You can
assign version numbers when changing machine parameters. During a
software update, the control automatically detects an increase in the version
number, and the update rules are applied.
The update rules can only be used to change or create new OEM machine
parameters. You can also change input values for parameters accessible via
the MP code number 95148.
During the first restart of the control after the update, the service technician
who updated the NC software must check and confirm the changes made by
the update rules to the configuration.
If the user attempts to leave the configuration editor without saving the
changes, a dialog window appears prompting the user to save them. The
configuration editor cannot be exited until the data are saved.
The first restart of the control after the update cannot be continued without
saving the configuration changes made by the update rules.
