Settings in the "config.ini" file
Boot server
The active boot server (DHCP server) is detected and displayed in the System Network Center
(SNC). The boot server accesses this configuration file accordingly. Changes to the config.ini
file do not become effective until the relevant TCU or PCU is next booted.
Note
If too much time (> 15 min.) elapses between commands when the user is making entries (e.g.
TCU name) as part of the initial TCU log-on process, the time-out error will be suppressed. No
error message will appear and the FTP connection will be reopened.
The config.ini file is created in the following directories:
NCU:
/user/common/tcu/<TCU name>/common/tcu/
PCU (Windows XP):
F:\user_base\common\tcu\<TCU name>\common\tcu\
PCU (Windows 7):
C:\ProgramData\Siemens\MotionControl\user\common
\tcu\<TCU name>\common\tcu\
