Problembehandlung
4.4.1
Unerwartetes Beenden von SinuTrain
In bestimmten Situationen erzwingt das Betriebssystem das Beenden aller laufenden
Programme, z. B.:
● Beim Abmelden des aktuellen Benutzers.
● Beim Neustart des Computers nach Updates.
Falls in diesem Moment SinuTrain läuft und eine Maschine gestartet wurde, werden
die Daten der gestarteten Maschine nur teilweise gesichert und SinuTrain beendet.
Gesicherte Daten
ACHTUNG
Datenverlust
Da SinuTrain schnellstmöglich vom Betriebssystem beendet werden muss, werden
nur die NCK-Daten der gestarteten Maschine gesichert. Änderungen an den HMI-
Daten werden nicht gespeichert.
Um alle Daten zu sichern, fahren Sie regelmäßig die Maschine herunter.
Sicherungsdaten:
Keine Sicherungsdaten:
· NCK-Daten
· Sämtliche neu hinzugekommene
Anwenderdaten im HMI-Verzeichnis
· Geänderte HMI-Einstellungen z. B.
die HMI-Sprache
Wiederherstellung der Daten
Die NCK-Daten der betroffenen Maschine werden automatisch wiederhergestellt,
sobald sich der betroffene Benutzer erneut anmeldet, SinuTrain aufruft und die
Maschine startet.
Die gewünschten HMI-Einstellungen müssen manuell geändert werden.
4.4.2
Trace erstellen
Sollten beim Arbeiten mit SinuTrain Probleme auftreten, haben Sie die Möglichkeit,
einen Trace zu erstellen.
Aktivieren Sie dazu das Tool "SinuTrain for SINUMERIK Operate Trace". Das Tool
protokolliert dann die nächste SinuTrain-Sitzung in eine Textdatei. Dabei werden alle
Ereignisse, Abläufe und Meldungen aufgezeichnet, die für eine Fehlersuche relevant
sind. Diese Textdatei senden Sie zur Analyse an die Hotline.
Training und Programmierung
40
A5E43899500, 01/2018
SinuTrain for SINUMERIK Operate
Hinweis
Das Aktivieren und Deaktivieren des Tools ist nur möglich, wenn SinuTrain vorher
beendet wurde.
Die Einstellungen für die Traces können nur geändert werden, wenn das Tool
deaktiviert ist.
Ablage der Daten
Nach dem Start von SinuTrain for SINUMERIK Operate Trace können Sie das
Ablageverzeichnis für die Trace-Dateien frei wählen.
Mit jedem neuen Start von SinuTrain wird dort ein Unterverzeichnis mit Datums- und
Zeitangabe im Namen angelegt, in das die aktuelle Trace-Datei gespeichert wird.
Zur Klärung eines Problems kann es hilfreich sein, mehrere Trace-Dateien
gleichzeitig zu analysieren. Deshalb wird eine Trace-Historie erstellt. Die Anzahl der
gespeicherten Protokolle ist bis maximal 20 Dateien wählbar.
Hinweis
Änderungen an den Einstellungen zur Ablage der Trace-Dateien werden erst beim
nächsten Start von SinuTrain wirksam.
Das bedeutet, wenn eine bereits existierende Trace-Historie reduziert wird, bleibt die
Anzahl der Traces solange bestehen bis SinuTrain for SINUMERIK Operate Trace
aktiviert und SinuTrain gestartet wurde.
Vorgehensweise
1. Stellen Sie sicher, dass SinuTrain beendet wurde.
2. Navigieren Sie zum Installationsverzeichnis von SinuTrain (Standardpfad:
"C:\Programme (x86)\SIEMENS\SinuTrain") und öffnen Sie den Ordner
"SinuTrain Workbench".
3. Doppelklicken Sie auf die Datei "sinutraintrace.exe".
Das Tool "SinuTrain for SINUMERIK Operate Trace" wird geöffnet.
In "Ablagepfad" wird der Pfad zu dem Ordner angezeigt, in dem die Trace-Datei
abgelegt wird.

4. Ändern Sie gegebenenfalls den Ausgabepfad.
Klicken Sie auf die Schaltfläche "..." und navigieren Sie zu dem gewünschten
Ablageort, klicken Sie auf die Schaltfläche "Neuen Ordner erstellen", vergeben
Sie einen Namen und klicken Sie auf die Schaltfläche "OK".
5. Legen Sie die maximale Anzahl der gespeicherten Textdateien fest.
6. Klicken Sie auf die Schaltfläche "Aktivieren".
7. Starten Sie SinuTrain und reproduzieren Sie die Schritte, die zu dem Problem
führten.
8. Wechseln Sie zum Trace-Tool und klicken auf die Schaltfläche "Trace-Ordner"
öffnen.
9. Kopieren Sie die im Ordner abgelegte Datei "sitrace.txt" und senden Sie diese
per Mail an den Technical Support (Seite 3) zur Analyse.
10. Wenn Sie das Trace-Tool deaktivieren wollen, müssen Sie SinuTrain vorher
wieder beenden.
Hinweis
Informationen zu Systemdaten
Sie haben die Möglichkeit sich mit Hilfe der Schaltfläche "Systemdaten anzeigen"
Informationen zum Betriebssystem, zu den Prozessoren und zur aktuellen
Speicherbelegung anzeigen zu lassen. Über die Schaltfläche "Systemdaten in die
Zwischenablage kopieren" speichern Sie diese Daten zur Weiterleitung an die
Hotline in die Zwischenablage.

Legal basics
This software (SinuTrain™) is used to generate and simulate NC programs on a PC
based on the DIN 66025 programming language as well as the ShopMill and
ShopTurn products and language commands of the Sinumerik™ 840D sl type. The
programs generated with the software must only be used on machine tools for
production if the software (SinuTrain/JobShop), on which the generated program
should run, has been adapted to Sinumerik.
This adaptation must be professionally performed by authorized personnel, e.g. by
Siemens, by machine tool OEMs or by dealers; when carrying out any adaptation
work, the specifications of Siemens and the machine tool OEM must always be
carefully observed. Otherwise, the machine tool could malfunction.
Otherwise, for customers in Germany, the "Allgemeinen Bedingungen zur
Überlassung von Software für Automatisierungs- und Antriebstechnik an
Lizenznehmer mit Sitz in Deutschland" applies for the software and for customers
outside Germany "General License Conditions for Software Products for Automation
and Drives for Customers with a Seat or Registered Office outside of Germany".

Overview
The SinuTrain for SINUMERIK Operate training software (called SinuTrain in the
following) simulates a SINUMERIK 840D sl with the SINUMERIK Operate user
interface on your PC.
Note
License
You require a license to start a machine using the full functional scope.
True to original representation and behavior
As a result of the true to original representation of the operating panel front, machine
control panel and user interface, SinuTrain facilitates real operation.
● SinuTrain includes a machine control panel with specific functions of a real
control panel (e.g. CYCLE START, operating mode etc.).
● SinuTrain includes an operator panel, with which all of the specific functions of a
real operator panel can be used (hotkey etc.).
● The user interface corresponds to the original interface of SINUMERIK Operate.
● The simulation behaves in precisely the same way as a real control.
Saving and printing NC programs
SinuTrain offers the option of saving the NC programs that you have created (G code
and machining step programs).
You also have the option of printing out a program which is open in the user interface
of SINUMERIK Operate.

Problem handling
4.4.1
Unexpected shutdown of SinuTrain
In certain situations, the operating system forces all of the programs running to be
shut down, e.g.:
● When the current user is logging off.
● For a computer warm start after an update.
If SinuTrain is running and a machine was started at this point in time, then the data
associated with the started machine are only partially backed up, and SinuTrain is
exited.
Backed up data
NOTICE
Data loss
As SinuTrain must be exited as quickly as possible by the operating system, only
the NCK data of the started machine are backed up. Changes to the HMI data are
not saved.
To backup all data, you must regularly run down the machine.
Data that is backed up:
Data that is not backed up:
· NCK data
· All newly added user data in the HMI
directory
· Changed HMI settings, e.g. the HMI
language
Restoring data
The NCK data of the machine involved is automatically restored as soon as the user
involved logs on again, calls SinuTrain and starts the machine.
The required HMI settings must be manually changed.

Creating a trace
Should problems occur while working with SinuTrain, you have the capability of
creating a trace.
To do so, activate the tool "SinuTrain for SINUMERIK Operate Trace". The tool then
logs the next SinuTrain session in a text file. All events, sequences and
messages/signals that are relevant for troubleshooting are recorded. Send this text
file to the hotline for analysis.
Note
You can only activate and deactivate the tool if SinuTrain has first been closed.
The trace settings can only be changed if the tool is deactivated.
Archiving data
After starting SinuTrain for SINUMERIK Operate Trace you can freely select the
archiving directory for the trace files.
Each time that SinuTrain is started, a sub-folder with the date and time specified in its
name is created there, in which the actual trace file is saved.
It can be helpful to analyze several trace files simultaneously when it comes to
clarifying a problem. For this reason a trace history is created. The number of saved
protocols can be selected, up to a maximum of 20 files.
Note
Changes to the settings to archive trace files only become effective when SinuTrain
is started the next time.
This means that if an already existing trace history is reduced, the number of traces
is kept until SinuTrain for SINUMERIK Operate Trace is activated and SinuTrain has
been started.
