NOTICE
Screen savers that modify the screen resolution when activated must not be used in

Terminating the NCK
The NCK is integrated in Windows XP as a "SINUMERIK-NC" service. This service must be
started and stopped manually in the service dialog box.
Windows Start menu: Start > Programs > Administrative Tools > Services > "SINUMERIK-
NC"
Note
The NCK must be stopped before testing/switching the screen resolution and/or color depth
on the PCU and started again explicitly after testing/switching using the Windows XP service
"SINUMERIK-NC". Otherwise a malfunction may occur in the real-time response.
1.1.6
System integrity
To offer high quality and wide functionality of the entire system, SINUMERIK 840Disl comes
completely configured and ready to operate.
For this purpose, the system components used are subject to a certification procedure with
Siemens as the system manufacturer. The certification process establishes and documents
the real-time features of the entire configuration.
If PC components (hardware or software) are modified or expanded by a third party,
compliance with product features cannot be guaranteed. The OEM or user involved must
assume sole responsibility for such components.
The effect of the changes to the system software can be read on the user interface of the
"840Di Startup" or "HMI Advanced" commissioning tool (see Subsection "Menu:
Diagnostics" (Page 486)) are read. It graphically displays whether the installed hardware or
software violates the real-time conditions.
