1 Sinumerik A007 Sinumerik Operate Electronic Logbook Module Description: The electronic logbook function of the 840D sl controller is used to enter data such as manufacturer (OEM), dealer and user information, 1st and 2nd commissioning dates as well as records of service visits. This data is then saved to a log file. The log file has to be uploaded into the EUNA database via the upload website. The function is not only necessary for warranty issues but also for service personnel (Records of new and previous service visits) and also for quality control measures. Module Objective: Upon completion of this module the course participant will be able to do the following: Import/Enter Logbook data Make logbook entries Save and load the log file using the Online Registration website.

4 A007 Electronic Logbook Logbook Information In the past, the validity of warranty claims was difficult to manage and was the cause of delayed service response times. System/hardware faults were logged in paper logbooks which were then usually left on the machine and often became damaged or lost. By using EUNA and the Electronic Logbook system, the warranty will automatically start, a record of the machine details and breakdowns will also be available on the controller. The time and date of each entry is recorded; it is important that the time and date settings of the controller are correct. Incorrect time and date settings can lead to early expiry of the warranty. identsnapshot When the information has been entered it needs to be saved, this is via a soft-key on the Logbook screen. This procedure will create a log file. This is known as the identsnapshot function and is a snapshot of the system including version data, cycle data, hardware components etc Each time a logbook entry is made, the log file should saved and uploaded to the EUNA database via the Online Registration Website. The name of the file is made from a combination of the machine name and system CF card serial number. It is necessary to make entries at certain stages during the life of the machine: - Manufacturer information at OEM - Dealer information at delivery and installation of machine - End user information at delivery and installation of machine - 1st Commissioning - End of start-up at Manufacturer - 2nd Commissioning Machine installed - End of start-up at end user - All service visits Importing/Entering the Logbook Data The OEM and Dealer information can be imported to the controller in three ways: Import the XML file via the Import soft-key. (Preferred method) Copy/paste the XML file in the System data area. Type the information directly on the controller. (When the files are not available) The preferred method is to obtain the correct xml files from your Siemens contact partner. These are pre-populated files containing the relevant OEM/machine information etc. Using this method guarantees the consistency between the data stored in EUNA and the data stored on the machine. The following files can be imported: File oem.xml oemsubs.xml dealer.xml user.xml ma_types.xml The files are imported using the Import soft-key. If the files are not available they can be created directly on the controller or offline on a computer. Machine Identity File (identity.xml) Function Manufacturer information Manufacturer subsidiary information Dealer information End user information List of available machine types When the information has been imported the identity.xml file is automatically created which contains all the information from the imported xml files. If data is already present in the logbook area and needs to be overwritten, then the identity.xml should first be deleted from the system. The machine name/number is stored in General Machine Data This is individual to the machine and needs to be entered here. A007 Page 4 840D sl SINUMERIK Operate

5 Electronic Logbook A007 Concept for Electronic Logbook Data Import and Upload: Offline preparation identsnapshot-controller (identity.xml, MD17400) File upload OEM Data oem.xml/oemsubs.xml: Load via Import soft-key. OEM Data (identity.xml) *Customer number* *Country* *Manufacturers name* *Town* Dealer Data dealer.xml: Load via Import soft-key. Dealer Data (identity.xml) *Customer number* *Country* *Dealers name* *Town* Export & upload Online Registration Configuration data: components, machine identity, licences, version information, logbook entries etc. User Data user.xml: Load via Import soft-key. User Data (identity.xml) Not usually available until point of sale. Logbook entries 1st Commissioning 2nd Commissioning Service visits If the controller has existing machine identity data, it is necessary to delete the identity.xml file. The location of the file varies between systems operating with a PCU50 or NCU. The location of the identity.xml file: PCU50: System hard disk\f:\hmi\hmisl\user\sinumerik\hmi\data\version\identity.xml NCU: System CF card\user\sinumerik\hmi\data\version\identity.xml 840D sl SINUMERIK Operate Page 5 A007

6 A007 Electronic Logbook Data Import function The Electronic Logbook is located in the Diagnostics area of the controller: Ensure that the files to be imported are available on the controller, network PC or USB memory device. Select the location of the file to be imported, e.g. USB. Default Manufacturer screen with no data entered: Select the file to be imported, e.g. oem.xml A machine name/number is compulsory. The information will now appear on the screen. In this example the Manufacturer file (oem.xml) was loaded. To see data for Dealer or End User select the relevant soft-key. Enter the machine name and/or number, e.g. VMC123. The value entered here is transferred to General MD A007 Page 6 840D sl SINUMERIK Operate

7 Electronic Logbook A007 Machine type The machine type can be manually typed at the same time as the name/number is entered. Alternatively a list of machine types can be viewed if the ma_types.xml has been imported. Example of an ma_types.xml file that has been edited to include three machine types. Once the choice of machine type is made it cannot be undone unless the identity.xml file is deleted. When the file is imported, the machine types will appear in the drop down list. Copy and Paste Option Locate the destination folder (Machine identity). It is also possible to copy the files from USB/networked PC via the system data area using the copy and paste functions. Cursor to the source containing the file e.g. USB device. The controller now needs to be powered off/on. 840D sl SINUMERIK Operate Page 7 A007

8 A007 Electronic Logbook Subsidiary files The default screen displays the manufacturer data. Subsidiary files are used to define the details of manufacturer regional offices. Example: A machine manufacturer has its head office in Germany, and also has regional offices in other countries, e.g. United Kingdom. In this case, oem.xml would contain the details of the head office; oemsubs.xml would contain the details of the regional office. When an oemsubs.xml file is imported to the controller, the Manufacturer soft-key is used to toggle between the OEM and OEM subsidiary data. Example: Import the oem.xml and oemsubs.xml files as described previously. Select the Manufacturer soft-key to view the oem subsidiary data No data will be displayed until an Address selection has been made. This is the name of the branch, i.e. the subsidiary. To return to the manufacturer details, select the Reg. office of manufact. soft-key. This the original manufacturer soft-key with different text. The text of the soft-key changes depending on the current selected screen. Select the branch/subsidiary name; in this case ABC SUB Templates for xml Files Templates for the various xml files are available in the HMI data\templates\examples\machine identity folder. The subsidiary details will be displayed. A007 Page 8 840D sl SINUMERIK Operate

9 Electronic Logbook A007 The templates can be used if the files cannot be obtained from the Siemens partner. They should be copied and edited to leave the original templates intact. Example template for dealer.xml. The file contains various xml commands but no dealer data. Manually Entering Machine Identity Data If the data has to be manually entered due to lack of an xml file, the data can be typed directly into the controller. Example: A dealer.xml file with dealer information. The file can be imported using the method described earlier. Select which data is to be entered; Manufacturer, Dealer, End user. Or Or A summary of the information can be seen. Example: Manually entered End user data. 840D sl SINUMERIK Operate Page 9 A007

10 A007 Electronic Logbook 1st Commissioning-Start-up Complete When the machine has been commissioned at the manufacturer the Start-up Complete soft-key is selected. This automatically logs the current time and date. 2nd Commissioning-Machine Installed When the machine has been installed at the end-user (2nd commissioning) the Machine Installed soft-key is pressed This automatically logs the current time and date. To confirm that 1st Commissioning is complete. The information will appear on the main logbook page. To confirm that 2nd Commissioning is complete. The information is now added to the main logbook page. The name and company/department of the engineer should be entered followed by a detailed description of the fault and work carried out. Recording a Service Visit Whenever an engineer visits the machine to carry out maintenance etc, a record of the visit and information about the work carried out should be entered into the Logbook. To do this select the New Entry soft key. A007 Page D sl SINUMERIK Operate

11 Electronic Logbook A007 The details of the service visit are now shown on the Logbook page. The save procedure should be carried out after each data entry in the logbook. To save the data to a file first locate and select the Save soft-key. The file should be saved to the default Version data folder as a standard procedure to ensure that a copy is locally available. The file is to be uploaded to the online registration website via an external PC, therefore it should also be saved to an external USB/CF device. Saving the Logbook data The following procedure shows how to save the newly entered data to a file. The file contains all information about the system (Controller, drives, software and hardware etc) as well as the information entered on the logbook pages. The file is given a default name using details from the machine information page. This can be changed. A comment can also be added. Two files are created by default, Version data and Configuration data. The Version data (.TXT) file is a text file and contains details regarding the versions of the controller, drives etc. The Configuration data (XML) file is an xml file and contains more information about the whole system including the logbook entries. It is this file which needs to be uploaded to the database via the internet. In this example, the files are saved in the version folder. PCU50: System hard disk\f:\hmi\hmisl\user\sinumerik\ hmi\data\version NCU: System CF card\user\sinumerik\hmi\ data\version The information will now be saved. 840D sl SINUMERIK Operate Page 11 A007

12 A007 Electronic Logbook The file can be opened for viewing in the System data area: The information that was entered via the Logbook screen is now stored in the xml file. Service visits are found at the end of the file: Uploading to the Online Registration Website Use the copy/paste function to transfer the xml file to a USB stick in preparation for uploading to the Online Registration Website. New Log Files A new log file needs to be created when anything new is added to the logbook. The file must then be uploaded to the EUNA database. The Online Registration website address is: The file is closed with the following soft-key selection. A language selection is available and an address is required. Notification s will be sent to this address if the Enable status notification option is selected.. To continue use the Next key. A007 Page D sl SINUMERIK Operate
