4.9 Machine files
There are 2 databases in Version 603 of the software, MA-Daten.mdb and MA-Achsen.mdb.
Machine-related configuration, measurement and parameter data is stored in *.XML and *.MA files.
The MA-Daten.mdb database contains all standard data except the standard data for the axes. This data is
stored in the MA-Achsen.mdb database.
Note:
All machine data and the database (see machine data database feature) must be of revision
level 70 (version 70.603.01). Current machine data must
not

be replaced by revision levels o
f
an earlier version, either completely or partially, e.g. revision level 60 (version 60.601.03).

4.10 Installing the machine controller
This section describes how to install the machine controller (irrespective of the computer type used as the
machine controller). Since the machine controller computer does not have its own CD/DVD drive, BIOS
updates, automatic BIOS settings and installation of the Windows XP Embedded operating system can
only be carried out from CD/DVD using an external DVD drive connected to the MC computer.
4.10.1 Installation sequence
Preparations for installing the machine
controller
Update BIOS on MC - optional
depending on computer type (only required
when upgrading from Version 601.0x of the
software or when installing the operating
system from scratch)
Install SIPLACE software (station software
including additional programs)
Make BIOS settings on the MC - optional,
depends on computer type (only required
when installing the operating system from
scratch)
Install Windows XP Embedded
on the MC - optional
(only required for initial installation or in the
event of operating system errors)

4.10.2 Preparations for installing the machine controller
→ Disconnect the USB keyboard from the station computer and connect it to the machine controller
computer.
→ Switch the video multiplexer from the station computer to the machine controller.
→ Use the USB cable to connect the external DVD drive to the machine controller computer.
→ Create the setup CD for the relevant computer type (see
Table 4-2 and section 4.3.1).
4.10.3 Updating the BIOS (optional) on a machine controller computer with CPU076 or
CPU086
When upgrading a SIPLACE X2 or X3 machine from software version 601.0x to version 603.01, it is
necessary to update the BIOS firmware on a machine controller computer fitted with CPU076 or CPU086.
This is necessary in addition to the upgrade package (see section
2.2). The BIOS firmware must also be
updated before the operating system is installed on the machine controller computer for the first time.
Creating a floppy for updating the BIOS on an MC computer with CPU076:
→ Insert the DVD for Version 603.01 of the software into the DVD drive of a computer fitted with a DVD
drive and a floppy drive.
→ Insert a formatted floppy (3.5", 1.44MB) into the floppy drive.
→ In the Windows Explorer, open the "BIOS-Images" folder on the DVD.
→ Double-click the self-extracting EXE file "CPU076_BIOS_Update.exe" and follow the instructions on
screen.
→ Once the floppy has been written, remove the floppy and the DVD from the drives.
: Updating the BIOS on an MC computer with CPU076
Note:
Before you start work, ensure that the floppy drive is set as the first boot device in the BIOS
to allow the computer to be booted from floppy.
→ Insert the floppy you have created in the floppy drive of the machine controller and boot from the
floppy by switching the machine on. The BIOS is now updated automatically.
→ After the operation has been completed, remove the floppy from the drive and carry out a warm start
of the MC computer by pressing <Ctrl><Alt><Del>.
