SIOS link

By clicking on the MLFB number you can directly open the Siemens Industry Online Support (SIOS) page. This way you can find related user manuals, handbooks or engineering manuals for the hardware components.

Acknowledgment feature

The SINUMERIK Service Assistance application provides an acknowledgment feature for detecting the changes which may harm the machine or enlightening some crucial changes on machine side. With this feature, system can detect the following hardware changes:

  • which hardware components have been replaced with new ones

  • which hardware components have been removed or are missing

When an identSNAPSHOT file is uploaded to an asset for the first time, there is no warning about it. But when another identSNAPSHOT file is uploaded to the asset and if there are any changes between current and previous file, you will be warned with an unacknowledged sign on the component name and corresponding items' status section. Additionally, the differences between the current value and last acknowledged value of the components' items are shown.
