1.1 About Optimize MyProgramming /NX-Cam Editor

Overview
"Optimize MyProgramming /NX-Cam Editor" closes the gap between production planning (CAM)
and production (control).
The product allows CAM functions to be accessed from the control (including 3D preview), and
transfers the changes from the machine back to the CAM system.
• Optimize MyProgramming /NX-Cam Editor - seamless CAM-CNC process - single license for 1
unit (machine tool)
• You require the "Connect MyMachines" option to connect SINUMERIK control systems to the
Mcenter server.

WARNING
Danger to life if the safety instructions and residual risks are not observed
If the safety instructions and residual risks in the associated hardware documentation are not
observed, accidents involving severe injuries or death can occur.
• Observe the safety instructions given in the hardware documentation.
• Consider the residual risks for the risk evaluation.

WARNING
Malfunctions of the machine as a result of incorrect or changed parameter settings
As a result of incorrect or changed parameterization, machines can malfunction, which in turn
can lead to injuries or death.
• Protect the parameterization against unauthorized access.
• Handle possible malfunctions by taking suitable measures, e.g. emergency stop or
emergency off.

2.2 Warranty and liability for application examples
Application examples are not binding and do not claim to be complete regarding configuration,
equipment or any eventuality which may arise. Application examples do not represent specific
customer solutions, but are only intended to provide support for typical tasks.
As the user you yourself are responsible for ensuring that the products described are operated
correctly. Application examples do not relieve you of your responsibility for safe handling when
using, installing, operating and maintaining the equipment.

2.3 Security information
Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial security functions that support the
secure operation of plants, systems, machines and networks.
In order to protect plants, systems, machines and networks against cyber threats, it is necessary
to implement – and continuously maintain – a holistic, state-of-the-art industrial security
concept. Siemens’ products and solutions constitute one element of such a concept.
Customers are responsible for preventing unauthorized access to their plants, systems,
machines and networks. Such systems, machines and components should only be connected to

2.3 Security information

an enterprise network or the internet if and to the extent such a connection is necessary and only
when appropriate security measures (e.g. firewalls and/or network segmentation) are in place.
For additional information on industrial security measures that may be implemented, please
visit
https://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity (https://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity).
Siemens’ products and solutions undergo continuous development to make them more secure.
Siemens strongly recommends that product updates are applied as soon as they are available
and that the latest product versions are used. Use of product versions that are no longer
supported, and failure to apply the latest updates may increase customer’s exposure to cyber
threats.

WARNING
Unsafe operating states resulting from software manipulation
Software manipulations, e.g. viruses, Trojans, or worms, can cause unsafe operating states in
your system that may lead to death, serious injury, and property damage.
• Keep the software up to date.
• Incorporate the automation and drive components into a holistic, state-of-the-art industrial
security concept for the installation or machine.
• Make sure that you include all installed products into the holistic industrial security concept.
• Protect files stored on exchangeable storage media from malicious software by with suitable
protection measures, e.g. virus scanners.

Shows further information.

*) All fields with an asterisk are mandatory. If you enter a value that does not comply with the rules, a red
warning symbol and a corresponding red highlighted error message below the input field are displayed.

Definition of node types
Enterprise: The Enterprise is a collection of one or more plants, connected within the given
installation. An alternative interpretation is about the owner of the installation. There can only
be one single enterprise node.
Example: Siemens AG
Site: The site is a structural, logical or geographical arrangement that is determined by the
enterprise. The delimitation of a plant is usually based on organizational and entrepreneurial
criteria as opposed to technical criteria.
Example: Factory at a given address
Area: The area complex is a structural, geographical, or logical arrangement that is determined
by the site. The areas may represent different stages, steps, or processes in the production
lifecycle of the product.
Example: Preprocessing Area
Production line: The production line contains all sub-areas, technical facilities and individual
machines that are required to manufacture one or more batches. A batch does not always have
to use all facilities within the production line, but it will usually perform the same operation on
the products in the production. Additionally production planning is usually done on line level
based on the capacity of the underlaying working cells.
Example: Manufacturing of Servomotors
Working cell: A cell consists of technical equipment and machines. The parts that make up the
working cell, can be part of the subsystem or can be used temporarily to perform certain tasks.
A cell can perform one or more major processing activities. It combines all the necessary process
engineering and I&C equipment needed to carry out these activities as an independent facility

group. Often most of the machines within a cell are able to process the very same manufacturing
process.
Example: Drilling holes in shafts
Storage zone: The storage zone is a designated location within the area, which holds the
materials that are required for the production, or the already manufactured products.
Storage unit: A physical unit which is located in the storage zone. This can usually be a desk or
shelves to store the required parts or produced products.
Example: Tool cabinets
