Settings Meaning
Example 1: There is a PCU monitor (irrespective of whether there is a PCU panel and
TCU panels):
[In active TCU mode:
The following additional condition applies: PCU is activated (with dynamic
resolution switching enabled)]:
The resolution is set to the max. resolution of the PCU monitor, reduced to
the next lowest SINUMERIK resolution. The SINUMERIK resolutions are
640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024, 800x480, 1280x800, 1366x768
and 1920x1080.
Example: In the case of a PCU monitor with a max. resolution of 2048x1152,
the SINUMERIK resolution setting is 1920x1080.
If there is a PCU panel, the display there is panned if the max. resolution of
the PCU panel is lower than the max. resolution of the PCU monitor.
Example 2: There is no PCU monitor, however there is a PCU panel (irrespective of
whether there are any TCU panels):
[In active TCU mode:
The following additional condition applies: PCU is activated (with dynamic
resolution switching enabled)]:
The resolution is not specially set; i.e. the resolution last used in the system
is active, e.g. the resolution which had been set manually in the Control Panel.
(Different to AUTO_MON_2 !)
Example 3: There is no PCU monitor and no PCU panel (headless operation):
A) In active TCU mode:
a) Dynamic resolution switching is enabled (resolution adaptation entry in
TCU.ini) and at least one TCU is already logged on:
The resolution is set to the resolution of the TCU which is currently active.
b) Dynamic resolution switching is enabled (resolution adaptation entry in
tcu.ini) and no TCU has logged on yet or dynamic resolution switching is
disabled:
The resolution is set to the max. resolution of the current PCU panel, i.e.
which logged on during the previous session.
Default setting: Default TCU resolution in accordance with the registry.
Notice: The first TCU panel to log on is activated. The focus handler then
automatically sets the resolution to this TCU panel's resolution (in the case
of dynamic resolution switching).
B) In inactive TCU mode:
The resolution is not specially set - i.e. the resolution used during the previous
session in the system is active, e.g. the resolution set manually in Control
Panel.
AUTO_MON_2 Like AUTO_MON_1, except:
Example 2: There is no PCU monitor, however there is a PCU panel (irre‐
spective of whether there are any TCU panels):
[In active TCU mode:
The following additional condition applies: PCU is activated (with dynamic
resolution switching enabled)]:
The resolution is set to the max. resolution of the PCU panel
(max. 1920x1080).
640x480 During run-up, the SINUMERIK resolution is set to 640x480.
