The Client area is divided into two sections:
1. Display of the Bitmap SYSTEM with the Version number or different Bitmaps
2. Display of the applications
For the plant operation
For the System operation (by activating the box ,,Expanded‘‘)
Depending on the licenced System Version special non-enabled applications are displayed
in gray.
1.2 Working with the application
The handling with the application 'Basic menu' includes the following activities.
Selection 'Basic Menu'
The selection of the application 'Basic Menu' is executed automatically after the Systemstart.
Only 1 instance of the application can exist. Each activation of the application 'Basic Menu'
from other applications causes that the first instance of the application is activated.
Selection of different applications
The selection of the applications from basic menu can be executed in three different ways:
Double click on the text of the selected application
Clicking on the application and pressing the input key
Clicking on the application and selecting the menu item 'Program' 'Execute'
1.3 Configuration
1.3.1 Register of the Application
The structure of the 'Basic Menu' is defined in the file windcs Texte.?menuv460.ini . ("?"
stands for the language number, e.g "Texte.0" = German Text).
By the division in 3 register-user functions and by selecting the Checkbox "Expanded"there
are five additional register-system functions which cause the following input possibilities:
Input Meaning
[Global] Global adjustment
Small=1,2,3 Register user page
Extended=4,5,6,7,8 Register System functions
Bitmap=logo.bmp Image in the basic menu
ExtendedName=Extended Name of the Checkbox

1.3.2 Selection of the application with password check
There is the possibility to have a password check done before calling an application. This is
also configured in the file menuv460.ini e. g. here the message archive should be called with
a password level 255.
App3=Meldearchiv; passwchk 255 meldarch.exe List applications
1.3.3 Application call via Menu bar 'Program'

2 Language changeover
2.1 Overview
The System can be operated multilingual – independent of the windows language settings.
By selecting the language in the ‘Main-Menu’ or in the ‘PCU-Server’ application and a
following Restart of Braumat/Sistar the corresponding language-Dll's (subfolder
…windcsDLL.<language number>*.dll ) are loaded and when accessing plant textfiles by
system applications the corresponding subfolder (…windcsTEXTE.<languagenumber>*.* )
will be selected.
2.2 Concept
The languages ‘German’, ‘English’ and ‘Spanish’ are installed in basic delivery state. On
request any other languages can be created and delivered (there are only Single-Byte
character sets possible). The language-DLLs and textfiles should be stored in the
corresponding subfolders.
In the system folder …windcs... there are the following subfolders for the Dynamic Link
libraries:
…DLL.0 Index 0 = German
…DLL.1 Index 1 = English
…DLL.2 Index 2 = Spanish
…DLL.10 Index 10 = English S88
…DLL.x Index x = any further languages
There is exactly 1 Dynamic Link library for each system application in these subfolders. In
this DLL there are the language-dependent ressources (Text, Dialogs, Menus, Icons, ... ) of
the corresponding applications included. These DLLs have the file name of the
corresponding application extended with ‘_’.
Example: System applications 'Plant overview'
…windcsSYSseqctrl.exe
…windcs DLL.0seqctrl_.DLL German Ressources
…windcs DLL.1seqctrl_.DLL English Ressources
…windcsDLL.2seqctrl_.DLL Spanish Ressources
…windcsDLL.10seqctrl_.DLL English - S88 Ressources
…windcsDLL.xseqctrl_.DLL any further foreign-lingual Ressources
14. Language changeover
BRAUMAT/SISTAR Classic 5.3
Administration
2-2 A5E00239375-06
Furthermore there is the file COMLIB32.DLL in the DLL-folders. This file includes language-
dependent ressources which are used by all system applications and by the system library
WINDCS32.DLL. The file WINDCS32.DLL is in the folder …windcsSYS and exists only one
time. It includes only language-independent ressources.
2.3 Configuration
The information which language is active is stored in the file …windcsSYSSYS.INI. This
file is loaded in the data segment of the WINDCS32.DLL by starting the first Braumat/Sistar-
application.
The languages must be announced to the System. The entry in the SYS.INI file looks like
the following:
[Languages]
Numbers=0,1,<any further language numbers>
0=German
1=English
2=Spanish
10=English S88
:
<new Number>=<Language>
After restarting the System the user can select a new language via the Language Setting in
the Main Menu.
The language key is located in the following section:
[PC]
Language=<current language number>
2.4 Engineering-language
Note:
The engineering languages should be defined with the ‘SiteCfg’ Tool in the menu
areaplant settings. Further information is given in the manual ‘02_Inst-Config.pdf’, in
subsections ‘Modifying factory settings’ as well as ‘PC definitions’.
Default Setting:
[PC]
LanguageEngineering=-1
Default adjustment = no changeover of the engineering language. The plant texts are
located in ‘…windcsPCU.nnntexte...’
15. Language changeover

Dynamic Engineering- Language setting
In this case, the engineering language is switched over with the system language according
to the following assignments in file AREA.ini. The plant texts are located in
‘…windcsPCU.nnntexte.x...’.
[PC]
LanguageEngineering=x (x> -1); Default Engineering-language, if
the following assignments are missing
LanguageEngineering0=0; Engineering–language if system language
German is selected
LanguageEngineering1=1; Engineering–language if system language
English is selected
LanguageEngineering2=1; Engineering–language if system language
Spanish is selected

3 Access authorization,
Password
3.1 General
The System offers the possibility to have all operations and inputs to subject a staggered
password protection. The protection is guaranteed by assignments of level (2 to 255) for
defined users. The adjustment of level and announcement of the user is executed in the
application 'user administration'. After the query of the username and password before the
execution of a protected function, the corresponding user–level are compared with the filed
function–level. Only after a successful comparison the requested operation or input is
possible.
With the System delivery only the username 'su' with password 'su' Level 1...255 is
defaulted for the execution of all functions.
Level and username can be changed in any way by the application 'user administration', if
the level 200 (= Systemuser) is available.
The System requests automatically the input of the password, if the currently valid level isn't
sufficient for the requested operation.
The input of the password is divided into the input of the username as well as the password.
The typed characters for the password are shown by the sign [*] and are , therefore, not
visible.
The following User–staggering is useful. It is possible to enter several user under each
usergroup. The combination of the actions can also be adapted accordingly:
User–Group Short-Name
(Example.)
Level Actions (Example)
SUPERUSER Su 1-255 Execution of all functions
permitted
OPERATORUSER Bed 1-100 Only selection of the user –
functions possible (left side in the
menu). No configuration, no
System functions.
PROGRAMUSER Prog 1-200 Selection of the user – and
configuration. No functions
possible.
SPECIALUSER Spez <very special Level
or Levelsection>
Only authorized for one or
several very special function (s).
18. Access authorization, Password
BRAUMAT/SISTAR Classic 5.3
Administration
3-2 A5E00239375-06
In the basic delivery of the System there is only the Superuser (Name: 'su', Password: 'su').
All levels are set to 1 that means no password-query is necessary. The level are filed in the
File SYS.INI under:
[Levels]
<Level–Data name > = <1-255>
3.2 User-Query
The System requests automatically to enter the username (and eventually the password), if
the currently valid level is insufficient for the requested operation. The characters of the
password are overwritten by the sign [*] and are therefore not visible. The input of username
and password must be in this sequence. After that, the requested operation is possible.
After the correct input of username (and password) a new password can be entered for this
user or the current password can be changed by the button ‘New password’.
Only letters and digits are permitted. The input is closed with return.The input must be
repeated again for confirming the new password. The input is also closed with return. If both
password inputs were identical, the new password would be valid.
If there are different inputs for the new password, the following note box password will
appear. Therefore the 'password' isn't valid.
3.3 Resetting password
Resetting the password is executed by three different methods:
Reset after having closed an application (RESET):
After selecting this method, the password is reset automatically after having closed
the active application.
Reset after a defined time (TIME):
Time is defaulted in minutes. After the time has run out the currently valid password
inputs are reset, independent of the active application. After that time is restarted
automatically. For the input of the time value "0" the method isn't effective.
Manual by the user
The user has the possibility to reset the password by the application 'Basic Menu'
any time. The manual reset is always independent of the automatic methods.
Combinations
RESET = 0 AND TIME = 0
The password is always valid. There is no automatic reset of the password.
(cyclic)
RESET = 1 AND TIME = 0
The password is reset by any closing of an application.
RESET = 0 AND TIME >< 0
The password is reset automatically after each sequence of the defaulted time
(cyclical).
RESET = 1 AND TIME >< 0
The password is reset after closing the application as well as after the sequence of
the defaulted time.
These counters could be found in the File SYS.INI under:
[PC]
PasswdReset=0/1
PasswdTime=<Time in Minutes>

3.4 Working with the application
Users and passwords are managed in the "User Management" program. This program is
started in Basic Menu-> Administration Tab -> User Management.
Create new User/Change Userdefinition
Another dialog is opened via the Commandbutton 'Define' password in which the user,
which has already been defined, is listed. Via the Commandbutton 'New' a new user with
the name and the corresponding level section is entered. The Checkbox 'Password' is
shuddered with a new input, i.e. the new user should enter an own password by himself .
Only if selected an available user via the Checkbox 'Change', the user can be requested to
select a new password.
Reset the password/Logout
Resetting the password or the Logout of the user can be adjusted for all user centrally. (see
above-mentioned item).
20. Access authorization, Password
BRAUMAT/SISTAR Classic 5.3
Administration
3-4 A5E00239375-06
Enter password
If a star in the corresponding user is showed in the window ‘password’ in the column
password, so the user has already been entered a password. If the start is missed, so
another password is to be selected.
The password is queried in an application which is provided with a password level. If the
new user distinguishes a change, he has to enter his password on time via the
Commandbutton 'New Password'. After a security query the password is active.
Adjust program level
Via the command button program-levelDefine the dialog is opened in which each
application or function can be assigned a level.

It is also possible to use the keyboards with magnet card reader as option instead of
entering the password.
As long as there is a valid magnet card in the reading device, the password isn't queried.
However, if the card is removed, no operation will be possible!
The following has to be adjusted after the keyboards are connected:
Adjustments in SYS.INI:
[PC]

The operation-level are adjusted as usual.
If a card is set which hasn't been entered in the internal card–list, this number will be entered
in the file CODE.INI temporarily under:

CardID=<Cardnumber>
This number can be copied as real card input and supplied with levels accordingly. (
Example):

4 Data backup
4.1 Import-/Export, Delete Archive–files
For the import/export by e.g. the archive files, an application 'archive manager' is in the
system. Here the Project engineer can define their individual archive structures and –
sections in order to realise definite file movements. Furthermore such function already exists
for their specific archives.
For both possibilities so-called export-disk drives should be defined (see System
adjustments, input in SYS.INI). There should be a network connection to this disk drive – or
they are disk drives of external data medium.( e.g. floppy disks). These are entered in files
SYS.INI under:
[ExportDrive]
Drives=<Drive disk identifier>, <Drive disk identifier>...
4.2 Automatic delete function, if the harddisk is full
The System records archive–data (Messages, Step protocols, Curves...) continuously and
files them on an adjusted mass storage continuously with a corresponding configuration. If
this one e.g. is the local hard disk, it isn't desirable that this one overruns due to the
permanent archive-file recording.(Messages, Step protocol, Curves,...).
It had been introduced an automatic delete function for the System-Archive-files. It is and
will be preset and configured like in the file DISKMAN.INI. The following adjustments are
possible:
Time–Intervalls to check the rest of the memory capacity, message display and
delete:
[Repeat]
Rep_Normal=<Value in seconds for a normal test>
Rep_Limit1=<Value in seconds after the limiting value 1 is reached>
Rep_Limit2=<Value in seconds after the limiting value 2 is reached >
Rep_Msg=<Value in seconds for the corresponding message repetition>
Time=<Value in seconds for deleting periods>
Files=<Amount files that are deleted in a cycle >
Memory location – limiting values
[Spacelimit]
Limit1=<Low limit for the first message>
Limit2=<Low limit for the second message and start deleting>
Limit3=<Memory location upper limit up to the one to which it is deleted>

Furthermore it should be considered that the trace-files which are created by activating
trace-functions are deleted or the trace-connections are deactivated any time.
Writing down System-Internal is necessary for the analysis of special fault performance or
for a better problem analysis. (e.g. for the PCU-Server in the file PCU_SERV.INI activatable
).
The created ASCII-Trace-File are in general in the TEMP/TMP–folder and can be deleted
unscrupulously.
4.3 Archive–Manager
4.3.1 Functionality
The application 'Archive Manager' is used for the administration of archive files.
These are created continuously during the operations and filed on the harddisk of the IOS.
Filed are e.g. Messages, Free Protocols, Step protocols, Curves, etc.
Which archive types should be administrated from the Archive Manager can be configured
user-defined. The application allows to swap out archive files to export disk drives easily and
time-saving in order to delete or even to import in the System disk drive again.
The application is started under Basic menu -> Administration Tab -> Archive Manager.
The Client Area includes a listbox „Selected Archive-files“. There the currently selected
archive files are displayed completely with their total path. The listbox is used exclusively to
control the found selection.
In the state line the display of the user-defined disk capacity of the System disk drive and of
one selectable export disk drive.

4.3.2 Working with the application
Menu item Program:
Useage according to the usual SISTAR-Applications.
Menu item functions:
Under this item there are the application-specific functions.
"Selection" or 1.) Click Icon
It appears a dialog box for selection of the archive type and the disk drive. With the
button „Previous selection“ the last selection can be called again. After you have
selected, it will be continued with „OK“.Then a new dialog box is opened for any
further selections according to archive-specific indications.
With „OK“ it will branched out to the next dialog box, with „All“ all files can be
selected in the current path.
The last dialog box is used for the selection of the requested files. It includes two list
boxes: „Available Archive files" and „Selected Archive files“. With the buttons „-->“ or
„<--“ the corresponding files which are marked can be transferred into the opposite
listbox. The buttons „>>“ and„<<“ displace all included files in the different listbox. It
can also be displaced by a double click in the corresponding file.
With „OK“ the file selection is closed and the dialog box is closed.
The selected files appear with their complete path in the listbox„Selected Archive-
files“ of the Client Area.
"Export" or 2.) Click icon
Export the selected archive files on the export disk drive.
It appears a dialog box for the choice of the destination disk drive.
Afterwards the selected disk drive must be confirmed again in a message box.
During the export procedure a progress bar informs about the version of the activity.
After the export the listbox is emptied in the field of activity.
"Import" or 3.) Click icon
Import the selected archive files on the archive-specific System disk drive. The
selection should be confirmed in a message box.

It should be considered:
As System disk drive with the corresponding path the application uses the entered
indications for the corresponding archive type.
During the import procedure a progress bar informs about the the version of the
activity.
After the import the listbox is emptied in the field of activity.
"Delete" or 4.) Click icon
Delete the selected archive files.
First there is a password-query.
Afterwards the selection should be confirmed again.
During the deleting procedure a progress bar informs about the version of the
activity.
After deleting the listbox is emptied in the section of activity.
Note:
The import is only possible from the export disk drives. Destination disk drive is
automatically in the System disk drive of the corresponding archive type which is
indicated by the SYS.INI.
The export is only possible to export disk drives.
Menu item 'Options':
Under this item there are the usual connectors in the SISTAR-applications for unhiding and
hiding symbol bars, status lines and function keys.
Furthermore the application 'archive manager' makes a menu item 'display' available with
whom the disk drive should be selected whose free capacity should be displayed in the
status line.
After having clicked a dialog appears in which all export disk drive are available for
selection. The display can also be deactivated by the selection „no one“.
4.3.3 Archpath.txt
With the function 'selection' various archive files can be selected. The dialog-controlled
selection refers to the search criteria and path description which is stored in the text file
ARCHPATH.TXT.
The path-/file names stored in the textfile are supplemented successively by the user
selections. The selection is made in a list box which presents the found files according the
list inputs or joker signs to the user.
After a successful selection of the archive-files the complete paths with filenames are
viewed in the listbox „Selected Archive-files“ in the Client-Area of the application.
The text file ARCHPATH.TXT is located in the ..WindcsSYS - folder.
Configuration
In the file ARCHPATH.TXT an own section must be entered for each archive type, as
described below. At the beginning of the text file the following section must be indicated one
time.

6 Synchronization
6.1 Functionality
The application synchronizes the files and folder subtrees within any group of network
shared drives. In this way the latest version of a file is used as source.
The application is used in three steps:
Write file definitions (File 'synchro.def')
Compare files (File 'synchrox.tmp')
Copy files (File 'synchrox.err)
The program is started under Main menu -> Administration Tab -> Synchronization.
6.2 Client Area
As the synchronisation works automatically, this application hasn't a main window with a
Client Area. Only the dialog boxes are displayed for the display of the synchronization
sequence.

6.3 Working with the application
Working with the application 'Synchronization' includes the following activities:
6.3.1 Application call with parameter:
Automatically start: /a
If the application is started with the parameter '/a', all functions are carried out full-
automatically.
There is no query!
All non-existent files or obsolete files are copied without any queries!
Run with definition – file: /def
After the parameter the filename of the definition – file ( with extension ) stands behind a
blank . The file will searched in the directroy ‘windcsetc’
Delete the file ‘notsync.ini: /u
With this parameter at the end of the synchronization the files ‘nitsync.ini’ will be delete in
the SYS.INI – paths
See also : installation and configuration -> path- supervising .
6.3.2 Call without parameter
After having called the application it is queried once again, if the synchronization should be
carried out.
If this box is answered with 'Yes', all files are compared. The result is filed in the file
'c:tmpsynchrox.tmp' (x can accept the value 0 - 4 ; the file with the latest date is the result
of the last synchronization run).
If faults arise with copying, these ones will be stored in the files 'tmpsynchrox.err'
(„tmp“=Windows Set-Variable; x has the same value as the corresponding file
'synchrox.tmp').
Example of a line of 'synchrox.err':
"c:windcspcu.001param.pcu can't copied to e:"
Call via input in 'sys.ini'
The application can be executed automatically with the start of the System. The following
input must be in the file '..syssys.ini' :
[PC]
Autostart=synchro.exe
The input isn't necessary, if the OS works as Recipe Server. It occurs a synchronization with
every start of the Recipe Server.

Inputs in the file '..syssys.ini'
Which disk drives are synchronized to each other is defined in the file '..syssys.ini'.
Under the section [PATHS] disk drives can be indicated for different functions for which the
synchronization should be carried out.
[PATHS]
PROJ=c:windcs ;server1cwindcs Type: 0
BATCH=c:windcs;server1cwindcs Type: 1
STEP=c:windcs Type: 2
MSG=c:windcs ;IOS03cwindcs Type: 3
RECIPE=c:windcs;server1cwindcs Type: 4
PCU=c:windcs;server1cwindcs Type: 5
SILO=c:windcs;server1cwindcs Type: 6
Files only in the system paths Type: -1
Configuration of the file '..etcsynchro.def'
The application 'Synchronisation' does only consider files below the System folder. Which
files should be synchronized can be defined via the file 'synchro.def'.
In this file up to 100 file definitions can be configured. Each definition consists of four parts:
1. Path indication
'Wildcards' are allowed as it is usual for MS-DOS.
2. Type indication
Reference to configuration of the disk drive in the file 'sys.ini'.
3. File indication
'Wildcards' are allowed as it is usual for MS-DOS.
4. Search depths
Indication of the amount of subfolders which should be browsed, a maximum of 8.
Example:
[DEF000] Continous number starting with 0 up to a maximum of 99.
Gaps aren't allowed, three digit number with leading zeros.
Path=pcu.* All paths, which start with 'pcu.'
Type=5 Disk drive type 'PCU' (see file 'sys.ini')
Files=*.* All files
Deep=1 Only within the first subfolder
In order to prevent an overwriting of a edit'synchro.def' with the next synchronization, the
following input must be carried out in the file'..syssynchro.ini' :

7 Scheduler
7.1 General
In BRAUMAT/SISTAR Classic 5.3 a Scheduler Program is integrated.
The Scheduler has the functions.
hourly, daily or weekly start of applications
Monitoring of applications and Newstart, if necessary.
7.2 Start of the Scheduler
The Scheduler can be started
via the basic menu,
via the Autostart group of Windows,
manually
from the PCU-Server. The following key should be set in the PCU_SERV.INI
[Pcu_serv]
....
;Start and Check for running of ProcessScheduler "ProSched.exe"
RunProcessScheduler=1
The Start type depends on which applications should be started and monitored with the
Scheduler.
The name of the application is 'prosched.exe' and it is located in BRAUMAT/SISTAR Classic
5.3 System directory.
Tip:
When the scheduler is started, the configured start conditions are checked immediately and
the applications are started accordingly. In case of the starttypes 'daily' and 'hourly'
prosched.exe determines, if the previous start didn't happen with the configured time period
and tries to make up for. In case of starttype 'weekly' an application is started only if the
requested day of week matches the actual day.
