Prerequisites
The prerequisite for the series machine start-up is a PC with V24 interface for data transfer
from/to the control system, or a CF card.
In the PC, the RCStool must be used.
Sequence with PC
1. Creating a start-up archive (NC/PLC) in the PC (data transfer from the control system to
the PC):
– Establish a V24 cable connection between the PC (COM port) and the SINUMERIK
802D (RS232).
– Use the RCS tool to make the following settings in the RS232 Config menu in the
binary format (the settings not printed in bold correspond to the default setting when
starting WINPCIN):
COM port Number of the PC COM to SINUMERIK 802D
Baud rate 19,200 (default)
Parity none
Data bit 8
Stop bit 1
Software (XON/XOFF) OFF
Hardware (RTS/CTS) ON
Timeout 0s
STOP with EOF no tick
– Call the Receive Data menu in the PC, enter
a file name (any archive name) and start the data transfer.
The PC switches to “Receive” and is awaiting data from the control system.
– The control system requires the password for protection level 2.
– Configure the interface as above (default settings) using the System > Start-up
files > RS232 > Settings menu.
– Go back with Back and 802D Data and select the “Start-up archive (NC/PLC)” line;
use Copy to paste the contents to the clipboard.
– Back again in RS232,, select the “Binary mode transmission” direction key and then
Send. The series machine start-up is output to the serial interface.
2. Reading in the series start-up file from the PC into the SINUMERIK 802D
– Make the relevant settings for the V24 interface on the PC and on the 802D as speci-
fied under 1.
– In the System > Start-up files > RS232 “Binary mode transmission” menu, select
Receive. The control system will now wait for data.
– Use RCS802 on your PC to open the series machine start-up file from the Send Data
menu, starting the data transfer.
– Once reading-in has started, confirm the start of the series machine start-up in the
control system.
– A warm start of the NC/PLC is performed several times during the series machine
start-up. At the end of the series machine start-up, the whole control system will re-
boot (warm start). After an error-free series machine start-up, the control system will
be in a fully configured operating condition.
