5.5 Bitmaps and icons
5.5.1 Storage of bitmaps and icons
Bitmaps and icons are stored in the folders below, depending on their resolution
and the operator panel being used:
Storage folder Formats Resolution OP (operator panel)
ico640 *.ico, *.png, *.bmp 640 x 480 OP10
ico800 *.ico, *.png, *.bmp 800 x 600 OP12
ico1024 *.ico, *.png, *.bmp 1024 x 768 OP15
The images are stored on the CompactFlash card under various paths, divided into
write-protected (standard) and user-specific areas.
Standard (write-protected)
The write-protected standard icons are stored in folders (icoxxx) using the following
path:
"/siemens/sinumerik/hmi/ico/icoxxx/"
xxx stands for the relevant resolution, "640", "800", "1024" (see table above).
User
The user-specific icons are stored in folders (icoxxx) in the following three
subdirectories:
• Standard expansion
(AddOn projects), /addon/sinumerik/hmi/ico/icoxxx
• Manufacturer, /oem/sinumerik/hmi/ico/icoxxx
• User /user/sinumerik/hmi/ico/icoxxx
In-house configurations
Files with the configured screen definition "Expanding the user interface" (wizard
"com files" including icons) are located in folders:
/oem/sinumerik/hmi/proj
/user/sinumerik/hmi/proj
See submanual: IAM, BE1: Expanding the user interface
5.5.2 User status display
Machine states controlled by the PLC can be displayed in the program status bar
via user icons.
The user-icon display has to be activated via display MD 9052
SHOW_CHANNEL_SPANNING_STATE.
The program path of the currently selected program is then displayed in the bar
underneath, together with the program name.
16 display positions are defined in the program status bar.
