Overview

All the information in the service Machine Transparency is generated from a single xml file of the controller, called identSNAPSHOT. This file is imported into the app SINUMERIK Service Assistance after creating the identSNAPSHOT file manually on the controller.

Creating and uploading the identSNAPSHOT file is described in this chapter. Furthermore limitations on file upload are listed.

NOTE

The identSNAPSHOT file needs to be created manually with the instructions below every time there is a change (software or/and hardware) on the machine.
