Hello siemens enthousiasts. New day new struggles. I`m working on a 840d SL 4.5 with i believe pcu50 The trouble i am having is getting the extopen command to work. In the past i have created a network connection between Windows Pc and the milling machine. Sharing folders is not a problem, i can copy, paste and see the files on both systems. i`ve read : - https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/attachments/109477198/109477198-Application_Integration_of_SINUMERIK_840D_sl_in_company_network_en.pdf multiple times. aswell as a bunch of other manuals. All the other manuals refer to a extdev.ini file This file is not present on my machine. The folder structure cf-card or user does not exist at all. Nevertheless the other manual got me hooked up with a solid network connection. Which functions fine with copy and paste. this pic. shows an example on drive 2.This is the exact way i have created my share/connection on drive 4. but my extopen doesn`t work. it always returns a value of 2.(or 16 when i made a typo) (2 == External device is not configured) (16 == Invalid external path has been programmed) --------------------------------------------- DEF STRING[100] PATH="/DEV/EXT/4" DEF INT ERROR_OPEN EXTOPEN(ERROR_OPEN, PATH, "SYN", "SHARED", "APP") IF ERROR_OPEN > 0 MSG("Error for FILE OPEN ="<<ERROR_OPEN) M0 ENDIF STOPRE ----------------------------------------------- which is odd to me because copy and paste goes fine. the connection is there. I`m sure i am missing something but i cant seem to find it. Thanx for reading, hoping for help. Cheers.

Hi, You must configure "[ExternalDevices]" section in "extdev.ini". Refer attached template. Good Luck!!! Rgds, Chetan Attachmentextdev.ini.txt (201 Downloads) |

Chetan_Verma,Thanks for your answer, As i mentioned in my post, the file does not exist on my machine. Neither does the folder structure. so i have no clue where to paste this extdev.ini file. Also curious why non of this in mentioned in: - Integration of SINUMERIK 840D sl in company network https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/nl/en/view/109477198 cheers. |
