Connecting the SINUMERIK control system with MindSphere

The activation of SINUMERIK Integrate, the setting up of the URL/proxy and the restart creates the "boot_job" folder in the /var/tmp/ directory. If the directory is not set up, create it manually.

There are two ways to copy the "onboard.key" to the SINUMERIK control:

  • Via the user interface of the operating software

  • With the aid of WinSCP

Requirement

The onboard key has been generated

The "boot_job" folder is created on the control at one of the following paths:

  • Linux (SINUMERIK 840/828): /var/tmp/boot_job

  • Win7 PCU 50: C:\temp\boot_job

  • WinXP PCU 50: F:\tmp\boot_job

Procedure

  1. Start the operating software on the control in service mode.

  2. Insert the USB flash drive with the "onboard.key" file into the PCU.
    The USB flash drive is shown in the directory tree.

  3. Copy the "onboard.key" file, for example, to the following directory: C:\temp\boot_job.

  4. After connection, the "onboard.key" file is deleted and the "cert.key" file is created.

    In the Manage MyMachine Dashboard, the SINUMERIK control (machine) is shown online.
