Siemens industrial PCs are specialized computers, mostly used to control machines and equipment in industrial fields. When using these devices, some problems may arise, requiring entry into PE mode for repair and debugging. This article will introduce how to enter PE mode on a Siemens industrial PC.
You need to confirm if you have a PE boot disk. If not, please download a tool to create a PE boot disk. Insert the USB drive into your computer, open the PE creation tool, select "Create from ISO file," select the ISO file of the PE boot disk you want to create, and click "Start Creating."
Insert the USB drive into the Siemens industrial computer that needs to enter PE mode. Press the power button to turn on the computer and begin booting. During the computer's boot process, press the F12 key to enter the boot settings menu and select the USB drive as the preferred boot device. The computer will then boot from the PE boot disk on the USB drive.
Once in PE mode, you can perform various operations, such as repairing the hard drive, recovering deleted files, or modifying system settings. After entering PE mode, you need to access the DOS command-line interface. In PE mode, you are logged in as administrator by default; you will need to enter the administrator password to confirm.
After entering the DOS command-line interface, you can use various commands to perform operations, such as: the chkdsk command to check the hard drive, the sfc command to check system files, and the bcdedit command to restore boot settings. If you need to install or repair the system, you can use tools such as Ghost or WinPE in a PE boot disk.
This is the basic method for entering the PE mode of a Siemens industrial PC. However, it is important to note that after entering PE mode, you should operate with caution. Avoid performing any operations that could potentially damage system data or files unless absolutely necessary. It is recommended to perform a backup to prevent data loss. Before proceeding, please carefully read the relevant user manual included on the PE boot disk to ensure correct operation.
When a Siemens industrial PC malfunctions, it can be repaired and debugged by entering PE mode. Boot the Siemens industrial PC using a PE boot disk to enter the DOS command-line interface. By using various commands, you can restore the system to normal operation. When using PE mode, special care must be taken to protect data security; do not arbitrarily modify system files and settings.
