2.2.2 Storage location of HMI boot screen
Default setting
The Siemens boot screens are stored under the path below on the appropriate PCU, e.g., for
the SINUMERIK 840D sl controller:
F:\hmi_adv\ib\DATA\10700\0\<Resolution>\10700_0.bmp
A directory tree can also be created for manufacturer-specific boot screens. The
manufacturer's screens can then be saved in accordance with the schematic below:
Directory tree of manufacturer-specific boot screens:
F:\oem\ib\DATA\<NckType>\<Resolution>\<Name>.bmp
<NckType>
stands for:
0 840D
10700 840D sl
15000 840Di sl
<Resolution>
: 640, 800, 1024 or 1280 dpi
If you want the same screen to be used each time (NCU-independent screen), it can be
saved in the "default" directory in the required resolutions. If you want to be able to use
different screens for different NCUs, they should be saved in the
<NckType>\<Resolution>
subdirectories using the appropriate resolution.
Screen name and resolution
<Name>.bmp:
The name can be selected freely; only one file is permitted per directory.
The screens must be created with a graphics tool in the resolution indicated by the
subdirectory name and stored in the corresponding directory. The HMI software selects the
screen, depending on the NCK type and the resolution of the available operator panel.
2.2.3 Displaying a customized boot screen
Directories
Set up a directory containing several boot screens (for different resolutions). This directory
should be segmented into subdirectories 640, 800, 1024 and 1280, which each contain a
boot screen of the appropriate resolution.
A directory containing boot screens can also be set up, likewise divided into subdirectories
640, 800, 1024 and 1280. The boot screen stored there for a particular resolution is
displayed if no boot screen (including one with a lower resolution) is found in the booting-
screen directory described above.
If no boot screen (including one with a lower resolution) is found, a general boot screen is
displayed, which is part of the PCU-Basesoftware.
