Basic start-up of the PLC
After installing the system software (SW 2.1 and lower)/completing the installa-
tion procedure (SW 2.2 and higher), a the system is automatically rebooted. The
PCU will then power up and the default menu of the boot manager is displayed:

To start the SINUMERIK desktop (Windows NT), press the input key to confirm
or wait the preset time until the boot process is started automatically.
After the SINUMERIK desktop (Windows NT) has appeared, only the supplied
PLC series machine start-up must be loaded into the PLC for basic start-up.
To do so, proceed as follows:
1. Start the “SinuCom NC” start-up tool from the Windows NT taskbar:
Start > Programs > SinuCom NC > SinuCom NC
2. Use SinuCom NC to load the supplied series machine start-up file
PLC_BSP.ARC into the PLC.
Menu command: File > SeriesStart-up archive > ReadIn
Dialog: Read-in archive
–
Optional field: Data management
–
Button: “NEXT”
–
Select the file PLC_BSP.ARC from the Archive folder.
–
Button: “FINISH”.
Basic start-up has then been completed. NC and PLC run in cyclic mode.
If a machine control panel is connected, the LEDs of the machine control panel
should now no longer flash and no more alarms should be present on the NC.
