First time installation
To install the SINUMERIK Connector application on an IED please use the usual Industrial Edge Management procedure for IED App installation. After you have made the application available on your IEM, you can install the application to your IED.
Update of an existing version
SINUMERIK Connector follows the common Industrial Edge rules for applications. Therefore, it can be updated using common Industrial Edge Management Application update mechanisms. Anyway, we recommend to save the existing configuration using the Common Configurator’s backup functionality before updating the application, even if the current configuration shall be reused for the updated version.
Backup & Restore
The SINUMERIK Connector is fully supported by the Industrial Edge backup & restore functionality.
