  6. Insert "onboard.key".

  7. Restart SINUMERIK Operate.

NOTE

File "onboard.key"

The file "onboard.key" contains safety-related information for the one-time connection setup of a SINUMERIK controller with MindSphere and must therefore be stored safely - both on the terminal, on which the file is stored temporarily, and on the target controller. Only when the connection between the SINUMERIK control system and MindSphere has been completely set up is this connection setup key no longer relevant.

This file is then automatically deleted on the SINUMERIK control system.

Secure the terminals used for this accordingly, for example, using virus protection programs, firewalls, OS updates, etc.
