1.1 PCU: Basic software Windows NT 4.0


1.1.1 General
This section describes how to install or update additional software and back up
data on PCUs on which the "Basic PCU Software with Windows NT 4.0" is pre-
installed.
"PCU" is the abbreviation for the PC (hardware) on which the HMI (Human
Machine Interface) software (HMI SW 6.0 and later) is installed.
HW SINUMERIK 840D/810D
PCU 50: PENTIUM II 333MHz, with min. 64 MB D-RAM, 24VDC,
without system software
for Open Architecture (Windows NT 4.0 pre-installed)
Order number: 6FC5210-0DF01-0AA0, available from 02.00

Note
Instructions on how to replace the PCU or OP012 or OP015 can be found
in:
/BH/ Operator Components Manual.

1.1.2 Basic PCU software


The basic software installed on the PCU at the factory comprises the following
SW components

• MS Windows NT 4.0, English version


• Internet Explorer 5.0, English version
• MS-DOS, SW 6.21 and later
• MPI driver, SW 5 and later
• Norton Ghost, SW 6 and later
• Norton Ghost Walker, SW 6 and later

Note
A guide to using the basic software can be found in file C:\Siemensd.rtf.

File C:\BaseVers.txt lists the versions of the system components of the


Service menu (and of Win NT) contained in the basic software.

Basic principle • The Service menu is implemented in DOS.


• The OEM customer starts the installation/updating of software via the
Service menu. The process is completed by Win NT (after a reboot).
• Data are backed up (Backup/Restore) via the Service menu.

1.1.3 Hard disk partitioning


The hard disk is partitioned as required to install the HMI system software on the
PCU under WinNT4.0. The partitioning is selected such that

• it divides the hard disk into 4 partitions (3 primary partitions and 1 extended
partition) (hard disks smaller than 4.8 GB are not supported),
• DOS (Service menu) can be booted in addition to WinNT4.0 (HMI system
software) (dual booting),
• the HMI system software (pre-installed on delivery or installed later as
additional SW by the OEM customer) operates on one NTFS partition and
• the HMI system software, the WinNT system software and DOS with the
Service menu all run on different partitions to ensure data integrity.
The following diagram shows how the partitions are utilized when the HMI system
software is installed (the partition names are typed in italics).

Fig. 8-1 Utilizatin of hard disk partitions for installation of HMI system software

Partition C contains DOS 6.2 with the tools and scripts which implement
the Service menu (e.g. Ghost tools).
Partition D is used to store Ghost images, i.e. of predefined images
e.g. configured in delivery state) and of local backup images.
The WinNT system software is stored on the adjacent partition so that
it is readily transferable, e.g. as an update or for driver installation.
Partition D also contains the installation directory into which software
to be installed is first copied from a remote PG/PC before the actual
installation operation is started.
Partition E is reserved for the WinNT system software.
Partition F is the application partition for the execution of applications such as the
HMI system software (including data management and temporary
data) and HMI-OEM applications, STEP7 or customer-specific
applications (e.g. Protool).

Note
The size of the partitions shown in Fig. 8-1 depends on the size of the
hard disk.

The following free space is guaranteed:


On partition D: 500 MB for storing local backup images.
On partition F: 1 GB for copying applications (HMI-OEM applications, STEP7,
customer applications, data e.g part programs...)

1.1.4 Boot Manager


When the PCU is running up, you can choose between the SINUMERK System
and Service menu in the Boot Manager menu.
• SINUMERIK : SINUMERIK System
Select this option to go to the start level of the HMI system software or (for
servicing) to the desktop of Windows NT.
• [concealed menu item]: Service menu
The Service menu in Windows NT is used to transfer software to be installed
(where no network is available) and to back up data.

1.1.5 Installation
Windows NT 4.0 is pre-installed on the PCU.
Windows NT 4.0 and the Service menu described below are the two main
elements of the "Basic Software Windows NT 4.0" package:
• SINUMERIK Desktop (Windows NT):
The Windows area is intended for servicing operations, i.e. it provides
Windows functionality for start-up of the control system.
In this area you can
- install the HMI system software via a network,
- install additional software (e.g. extra languages) and
- edit INI files/HW configuration (e.g. install drivers).

• [concealed menu item]: Service menu (DOS)


The menu options enable you to transfer installation software from an
external source to D:\INSTALL. The software is actually installed by
Windows NT when the PCU is next booted provided it contains an exe-file,
e.g. "setup.exe".
In this menu you can
- transfer/expand the HMI system software,
- backup/restore the data on the hard disk and
- install the HMI system software via a network.

Caution:
Please check that there is sufficient free memory space on partition D of
the hard disk before installing new software.

2. SP6a:
Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 6a
3. DRIVERS\SYSTEM.INI
Keyboard table (may need to be copied to E:\WINNT.40)
4. SP6a\DDEFIX
The installation path to be entered for "Install New Fix" is:
D:\UPDATES\WINNT\SP6a\DDEFIX\hotfix.inf
You must execute the 4 steps above in the order given to obtain an up-to-date
basic system after the installation of external applications.

1.5 Special features with SW 6.0 of HMI Advanced


In SW version 6.0 and later, a new directory "HMI_ADV" is set up for area
applications.
The new directory structure (in ascending order of priority) is:

• HMI_ADV
• MMC2
• ADD_ON
• OEM
• USER
Software HMI_ADV contains
• the area applications with INI files,
• DLLs and
• HMI-specific data.
MMC2 contains:
• the servers and COM objects,
• the master control and
• the associated INI and NSK files with MMC.INI from HMI base.

ADD_ON, OEM and USER are used as in earlier versions.
