power automation PA 8000 LW Series, Installation Instructions Manual, Page: 26 / 132

The CNC installation folder has been changed. Formerly, everything
had been installed in c:\program files\power automation .
In Windows 7 (W7) it is installed under c:\pacnc . This is also true for
the files, which are written from the CNC software on d:\ partition .
So there is also a folder called d:\pacnc for the files, which are written
from the CNC during runtime. Everything below c:\pacnc and
d:\pacnc is the same as before below
c:\program files\power automation and
d:\program files\power automation . For compatibility reasons, the
folders remain c:\program files\powerautomation and
d:\program files\power automation for Windows XP systems.
The PA standard HMI is fully compatible. Also every User-HMI, which
is based on HTML will run without problems. User-HMIs, based on
own code (scripts, C, Java or ActiveX) must be tested by the customer
itself.
The usage of compile cycles is the same as before.
Old CNC/HMI Backups cannot be used in the current version of 3.5.x ,
because of the changed installation path. There will be a future ver-
sion, which will allow to restore old backups to the new installation
paths.
The material warranty seals affixed to the control unit at various posi-
tions ensure that the control unit's casing is not opened by unauthor-
ized persons.
– Never open the control unit, or you will lose your material warranty.

cations are required (see
