SINUMERIK 840D sl combines CNC, HMI, PLC, closed-loop control and communication tasks on one SINUMERIK NCU (NCU 710.3 PN, NCU 720.3 PN, NCU 730.3 PN).

For operation, programming and visualization, the corresponding HMI software is already integrated into the CNC software for the NCU and therefore executes on the high-performance NCU multi-processor module. For enhanced operating performance, the SINUMERIK PCU 50.5 industrial PC can be used.

Up to 4 distributed OPs can be operated on one NCU/PCU. The operator panel can be installed as a Thin Client at a distance of up to 100 m (328 ft).

The high-performance NCU multi-processor module can be installed to the left of the Line Module of the SINAMICS S120 drive system. If necessary, the NCU can be installed separately at a distance of up to 100 m (328 ft). MOTION-CONNECT DRIVE-CLiQ cables from Siemens are used for the connections.

SINUMERIK 840D sl offers integrated PROFINET functionality and supports PROFINET CBA and PROFINET IO.

Matched modular system

The SINUMERIK 840D sl CNC is modular in design, offering outstanding flexibility and openness for any machine application. Entirely in line with the motto "Mix and Match", the components can be perfectly matched to each other – tailored precisely to the requirements of the machine builder and the subsequent operating environment of the machine.
