File Upload
Function "File Upload" allows files to be sent from the SINUMERIK control to MindSphere.
You can send multiple files from various directories in the same trigger. In a cyclical trigger, you can upload trace files
along with the customer-specific files.
There are two variants of the "File upload" function:
-
Change-dependent file upload
The upload is carried out after a file is changed on the SINUMERIK control. The change date of the files is checked cyclically, i.e. hourly, on the SINUMERIK control. -
Cyclic file upload
The upload is carried out in a defined time cycle. The cycle duration is specified in the user interface.
The cyclic file upload does not check files for changes.

NOTICE
There is a risk that an attacker, within the network between SINUMERIK Integrate and MindSphere, gains access to the file system of the server or service clients. The attacker can then read or manipulate various system components (e.g. database content). As a consequence, the attacker can manipulate tool data, NC programs, machine archives or the system structure itself, for example. This type of attack cannot be prevented by MindSphere.
-
It is therefore imperative that the person responsible for the machine network takes the appropriate industrial security measures for the production/machine network.
Siemens AG does not accept any liability in this regard.
