SINUMERIK operator panel fronts with PCU or TCU

The SINUMERIK operator panel fronts (OP) and touch operator panels (TP) can be combined with SINUMERIK PCU (industrial PC) or SINUMERIK Thin Client Unit (TCU) and contain numerous innovations to improve ease of operation.

The USB interface on the panel front provides hot plug&play functionality for a standard PC keyboard, mouse or USB FlashDrive. The SINUMERIK operator panel fronts are available with various-sized displays, and with membrane or mechanical keyboards.

Thus the SINUMERIK operator panel fronts can be tailored to the individual user's requirements.

SINUMERIK PCU

Innovative operator panels can be created with the SINUMERIK PCU and the SINUMERIK operator panel fronts. The SINUMERIK PCU is mounted on the rear of the SINUMERIK operator panel fronts, or can be positioned at distances up to 100 m (328 ft) from the operator panel in the cabinet.

The powerful SINUMERIK PCU features numerous innovations. The communication interfaces via Ethernet and PROFIBUS DP are already on board.

The complementary proven operator control components, such as handheld units, machine control panels, Push Button Panels, electronic handwheels, keyboards, and card readers, can be used with the SINUMERIK PCU or TCU.

SINUMERIK TCU

The SINUMERIK TCU allows operator panel fronts and SINUMERIK PCU or NCU to be installed separately. For this reason, the user interface is copied to one or several operator panel fronts, each with a SINUMERIK TCU.
