SINUMERIK Motion Control Systems:The Recognized Standard from Europefor the Whole World of Machine Tools
The market is a hard taskmaster. In the machine tool sector, too, constant
improvements in compactness, speed and precision are expected, at
increasingly lower prices and with shorter delivery times.
This can only be achieved with standard machines. And the right CNCs.
Standard CNCs which can be individually put together from only a few
components and to which machine manufacturers can readily add their
own specific know-how.
And that is how the SINUMERIK control concept came into being – together
with our partners in Europe’s machine tool industry.
SINUMERIK®motion control systems can beput together from just a few componentsfor a whole range of different performanceranges and technologies. With the modularityand open-endness that only a few can offer.And a convincing uniform structure for opera-tion, programming and visualization.
A concept setting the standard worldwide
The highlight of our concept is the SINUMERIK840D – the sophisticated system platform withtrend-setting functions for almost all techno-logies. Together with the SIMODRIVE® 611Digital converter system and the SIMATIC® S7programmable controller, the SINUMERIK 840Dprovides a complete digital system which issuitable for complex machining tasks and whichexcels with its fine dynamics and precision.
The standard system offers a wide range ofspecialized functions for drilling, turning,milling, grinding and handling technologies– as it also does for nibbling, punching or lasermachining technologies.
One system – lots of possibilities
With the SINUMERIK 840D, you have an inte-grated control solution which makes it possiblefor you, the entrepreneur, to manufacturemore efficiently.
Because the same basic control modules areused both for several machining technologiesand for placement and handling, productionis much more transparent and economic.
Integrated control solutions of this type fornearly all technologies also mean advantageswhen it comes to maintenance and trainingof the operators: Fewer parts to be stockedand a reduced training requirement.
The scalability of hardware and softwaremeans that you can use the SINUMERIK 840Dfor a whole range of different applications,whether for a simple positioning task or forcomplex multiple-axis systems. Scalable hard-ware components in the SINUMERIK 840D –both in the NC and in the operating area –make it possible to control many moremachining technologies.
Investing in the future
The intelligent SINUMERIK is a digital systemwith which you can get more out of yourmachine tools, with which you can manufac-ture more flexibly and economically and re-spond to customer requirements more quickly.Today and in the future.
Due to its open architecture, the machinemanufacturer can incorporate his/her ownknow-how in such a way that the user is alwayssure of a system tailored to his/her individualneeds – with the NC at the center of it. Weoffer compatibility wherever it is needed – inthe PLC (programmable logic controller), inthe HMI (human machine interface) or in theNC kernel.
The dimensions of the 840D are incrediblycompact (a complete system for a millingmachine configuration, for example, takes uponly a sensational 41 liters!). And costs arekept to a minimum, too – by reducing thenumber of interfaces and making multiple useof the same standard hardware modules andcomponents.
And not only have we included today’s stand-ards (such as Windows), but we have alsomade sure that we are ready for tomorrow’sprocessors.

SINUMERIK 840D:The Digital System for Almost All Applications …
The SINUMERIK 840D offers a convincingrange of innovative technology-specificfunctions.
Standard cycles are available for frequentlyrecurring machining operations in the drilling,milling and turning technologies.
And even extremely exacting applications, like5-axis milling in the manufacture of tools andmolds, are no problem for the SINUMERIKgeneration. The continuity from the CADsystem right through to the workpiece andintelligent motion control allow fast, preciseproduction of even highly complex parts. Theseparation of geometry and technology withRTCP (remote tool center point) and 3D tooloffset simplifies alterations. And the promptmachine stop facility, in the event of toolbreakage, for example, protects both machineand workpiece.
Solving digital tasks fast andprofessionally
The standard SINUMERIK 840D control in-cludes tailor-made functions for high produc-tivity and precision for grinding, flexible axismovements with the aid of positioning axesand reciprocating functions, short machiningtimes using multiple feed values in a blockand fast set-up by means of handwheel over-lay.
Time-critical process signals are connected todirect CNC inputs/outputs and programmedby synchronous actions. Special axis couplingscan be defined using cam tables, e.g. forswing-frame grinding. Transformation of aninclined axis also permits inclined bed appli-cations, and tool compensation is includedon-line to permit simultaneous grinding anddressing (continuous dressing).
In conjunction with adaptive control, theSINUMERIK 840D enables optimum utili-zation of spindle power, prevents overload,protects the workpiece, reduces machiningtimes and improves surface quality withoutthe need for additional hardware.
Handling tasks, such as work-piece mani-pulation, machine loading, packaging andpalletizing, can be easily performed byconnecting the handheld terminal (HT 6).
In the same way, an “electronic gear with non-linear coupling” is also possible. In additionto the manufacture of convex gear tooth sur-faces, it is thus possible to compensate for
nonlinear characteristics of the process.
The performance of the SINUMERIK 840D doesnot stand still. It is based on just a handful ofmodules that can all be combined to coverthe whole machine spectrum.
Operator control, monitoring andprogramming
You can choose between a number of differentslimline operator panels to provide exactly theright amount of operator convenience for yourapplication. Handling and teaching tasks areperfectly executed with the HT 6 HandheldTerminal.
Variable CNC performance
We offer you the same variety when it comesto the NCUs. The range of scalable NCU hard-ware ranges from simple positioning tasks intwo axes to NCUs with 31 axes, of which 12axes can interpolate in an NC channel.
The special technology functions – for examplefor laser machining or handling – are suppliedin the form of extended NCU system softwareon PC cards.
The NCUs feature a PROFIBUS-DP interfaceand can be operated on the bus either as amaster or slave.
The medium and upper performance rangesare covered by the SINUMERIK 840D power-line, for which the term performance explosionis no exaggeration. For this innovation – inconjunction with the HMI software – consistsof the correspondingly most powerful NCUmodules that SINUMERIK has to offer. Thismeans, for example, in the case of the NCU572.4, a two-and-a-half-fold increase in relativeperformance over its predecessor. An increasethat immediately benefits your productivity.
Integrated hardware for integratedapplications
Consistent configuring, standardized PLCmachine programs and communicationsbring with them the advantages of integratedhardware and PLC functionality and of theapplication itself.
And then the control does not have to beconfigured until quite late in the proceedings– it may not need to be adapted to the taskat hand until the machine itself is already
being assembled.

For Programming Too:The Greatest Measure of Freedom for You …
Its open-system philosophy is theSINUMERIK 840D’s real selling point. Standardsystems with a wide range of NC functionswhich are configured on the NC languagelevel and which can be adapted to your ma-chine with familiar SIMATIC tools via the PLCare the first step towards an open system.
In the operating areas, you can integrate yourown menu trees, as well as input forms andhelp displays for specific machining operations.Machine tool manufacturers can alter the HMIhowever they want and implement their spe-cial operating philosophy using Windows tech-nology.
One important feature of the open systemsphilosophy of the SINUMERIK 840D is thatuser-specific system cycles and functionmacros can be configured in the NC kernelwith standard development tools. The object-oriented programming language C++ is usedin this task. The basis of the CNC programminglanguage is DIN 66025.
But the 840D is also at home with other lan-guages. We have implemented a CNC high-level language for the various technologicaldemands of modern machine tools whichoffers a great degree of freedom.
Programming options
Part programming is performed using theeditor of the respective HMI module. With thiseasy-to-use editor, you can program cyclesand contours directly and then check the re-sults in the graphic dynamic machining simu-lation. You can select side view, top view and3D simulation in the views with/without toolpath display or with the zoom function, eitherfrom the workpiece directory or from theeditor.
Problem-free programming
The SINUMERIK system includes an extremelypowerful geometry processor which allowsyou to make corrections at any time and atany point in a finished program, dispensingwith the need for separate programming work-stations. DIN input is also possible, so that theprogram code is available if required.
The system software of the SINUMERIK 840Dcontains a wide range of unusual NC functionsthat you are not likely to find in comparableNC controls.
You can, for example, interpolate using avariety of different methods: linear, circular,spline, polynomial or helical interpolation –or many other state-of-the-art functions.
With the universal interpolator NURBS you caninterpolate nearly anything – measured points,freeform surfaces, any curve that can be des-cribed mathematically (parabola, hyperbola,ellipse etc.). NURBS performs the control-internal motion guidance and path interpola-tion and with it complicated arithmetic andprogramming tasks. Not to mention the factthat B-splines form the basis of most CADsystems – which will make their integrationinto the control that much simpler.
Another example of the more unusualfunctions is FRAME – a description in Cartesianspace for free, combined transformation (off-setting, rotating, scaling, mirroring) of coordi-nate systems. Used with swiveling tools,FRAME makes machining much more flexible.
Comprehensive motion control functions ofthe SINUMERIK 840D make your machine toolmuch faster, more accurate and smoother.The function “Look Ahead“, for example, “sees“a parameterizable number of traverse blocksin advance and optimizes their machiningvelocity. On sharp changes of direction, thevelocity is reduced beyond block boundariesthus preventing beveling of the contour.Tangential block transitions are machined evenbeyond block boundaries without any loss inspeed.
Simply more productive
The Spline Interpolation, Look Ahead, andFRAME functions, together with the integratedcompressor for converting linear blocks tospline blocks, make the SINUMERIK 840Dappreciably faster than comparable controls,so that in many cases machining times canbe halved or parts production doubled withno loss of quality.
In addition to the velocity-dependent feed-forward control as basic function, we haveimplemented the acceleration-dependentfeed-forward control thanks to the digital link.It eliminates contour deviations which can becaused by following errors, for example.Result: the utmost precision is possible evenat a high tool path velocity.
With the basic function ”Jerk Limitation”, youcan protect mechanical parts and optimizetravel behavior.
The new continuous dressing function is de-signed to maximize productivity in grinding.It enables grinding and dressing to be carriedout simultaneously, which speeds up the rateof metal removal and also improves surfacequality.
ManualTurn, AutoTurn, ShopMill andShopTurn: to turn your SINUMERIK into areal shopfloor NC
We know what is needed in the factory. That’swhy we have developed four very efficienttools tailored for the skilled machinist fortypical workshop tasks and machines:
ManualTurn – the user software for turning;
ShopMill – the user and programming soft-ware for milling and drilling;
ShopTurn – the operating and programmingsoftware for turning and milling.
These JobShop products are a huge advantagefor all tasks in the workshop as they combinetwo important aspects: The productivity of aSiemens CNC – and a whole range of featuresfor simple, fast machining. We have deviseda machining block concept with which youwill save so much time and effort in pro-gramming and operation, and setting up thetool or workpiece, that you can respond ex-tremely flexibly to varied and demanding tasks.You will bridge the gap between the drawingand the workpiece that much quicker. Evenfor really small batches.

Open Human-Machine Communication.Operating for Intuition and Intelligence
Everything fits with SINUMERIK 840D: Thecentral controllers and operating panels withvarious levels of performance, the correspond-ing I/O modules and the software.
Operator control and visualization
The intelligence for the communication liesin the highly integrated PCs (SINUMERIK PCUs)that are available with different levels of per-formance. When combined with a SINUMERIKoperating panel, a powerful, intelligent andrugged operator control and visualizationsystem with an impressively compact and low-profile design is produced.
Even the interfaces for communication withthe process are already on board, leaving theslots (in the PCU 50) free for other applications.The USB interface on both the front and rearpanels permits hot swapping of a standard PCkeyboard and mouse. And best of all: the newSINUMERIK operating panels are availablewith various display sizes and with a mem-brane or mechanical keyboard, so that thenew SINUMERIK operator panels can beoperated individually as required.
For machine operation, theoperator panels can besupplemented with a ma-chine control panel. Themultipoint interface (MPI)provides the link to the CNCas well as the data transferto and from the machinecontrol panel, programmingunits or PCs.
Easy-to-use operatorinterface
The operator interfacescombine an easy-to-use
editor, menu-driven commissioning, detailedsystem diagnostics and data traffic via serialinterface, diskette drive and network.
The operator interface is divided into veryclearly delineated operating areas. Thanks tothe Windows-oriented technology, the usercan easily keep an eye on the entire process.
The soft keys are simply structured and themenu hierarchies are flat. The operator inter-face is open to customer-specific modificationusing the integral editor.
Individually customized operatorinterface
It goes without saying that machine toolmanufacturers can also incorporate theirown know-how into the controller – andcreate a customized operator interface.
By the way, if you need more than one systemlanguage – we offer a total of eighteen, fiveof which are standard: English, German,French, Italian and Spanish. And there aremore European and Asiatic language versionsavailable.
Unique advances in functionality:NC and handling all in one!
We can give you an all-in-one NC and handlingcontrol. Fully digital, extremely easy to useand multifunctional.
SINUMERIK 840D is the only control that com-bines NC plus handling – to the internationalNC standard. It also has a range of additionalNC functions: Spline interpolation and LookAhead for really fast traversing. And jerk limi-tation makes sure that motion sequences arealways smooth even at high speeds.
Thanks to sophisticated control algorithms,the tool moves along the programmed pathwith high precision. Compensation tablesallow you to compensate for imprecision inthe mechanics.

Remote diagnostics reduce downtimes
When the distances between SINUMERIK sys-tems are considerable, high-speed remote on-line diagnostics over telephone, Ethernet andInternet (e-mail alarms and SMS messages)are exactly what you need. Remote diagnosissaves costs, makes it possible to avoid expen-sive service calls, reduces downtimes andincreases machine availability. A new dimen-sion in teleservice for SINUMERIK controls –worldwide, seven days a week, 24 hours aday.
“@Event“: the alarm e-mail softwarefor better service logistics
“@Event”, a revolutionary alarm e-mail soft-ware from Siemens for machine tool controls,opens a whole new perspective on minimizingdowntimes and implementing more efficientservice logistics thanks to immediate faultmessaging. @Event brings preventive mainte-nance full circle. With comparatively simplemeans, the machine control can send e-mailsto signal virtually any kind of impending event.Alarms and messages reach service personnelimmediately, and downtimes are reduced.
We set standards in safety:SINUMERIK Safety Integrated
“Safety Integrated”, our preventive, precau-tionary safety software, reduces installationoverhead on the machine and “slims down”the control cabinet. Because all safety func-tions are integrated in the control and drivetechnol-ogy, “Safety Integrated” protects bothpersonnel and machines.
All safety functions meet the requirements ofSafety Category 3 to EN 954-1.
This has resulted in a new standard that makesmachines safer and more flexible for the taskat hand and which increases plant availability.
Direct connection of two-channelI/O signals
More functions have been integrated into thesafety package “Safety Integrated“ so that it isnow possible to connect two-channel I/O sig-nals directly, e.g. for emergency stop push-buttons or light barriers.
Mastering extreme conditionsprofessionally
All safety-relevant faults in the system causethe dangerous movement to be brought to ahalt or result in fast contactless isolation fromthe motor.
This means greater operator protection duringset-up mode and additional protection for themachine, tool and workpiece in automaticmode.
For Perfect Networking of Your Production Facility:The IT Solutions Integration Concept
The IT Solutions integration concept is ourcontribution to integrated networking of yourproduction facility – in short, the problem-free exchange of data between productionplanning, operations planning and scheduling,and machine tool. For you, that means shortersetting-up times, reduced machine down-times, and simplified fault analysis.
Network your CNC quickly and reliably
The SinDNC software module adds yourSINUMERIK to any standard network faster,easier and more cost-effectively – and estab-lishes reliable connections with Windows PCsand UNIX workstations. NC program transfersare extremely user-friendly, and transfers bet-ween the SINUMERIK’s CNC archive and thecomputers are lightning-fast thanks to Ether-net, which can complete such transfers 100times faster than a standard serial connection.
The following function ranges are supported:

Production data acquisition right on themachine control’s display
The WinBDE IT software module for SINUMERIKturns the control into an input and acquisitiondevice for production data, thus drasticallyreducing hardcopy order forms and giving youdirect access to all production data and relatedinformation.
Optimum tool management
By using tool management and the SinTDI(SINUMERIK tool data information) software,you can reduce machine downtimes andat the same time improve productivity andachieve integrated tool data flow from pro-duction planning to the CNC machine.
Communication with the host computer
The SinCOM communication tool is equippedwith an interface for interchanging CNC datawith the host computer. This makes it possibleto easily intgrate SINUMERIK in customizedhost computer solutions using the TCP/IP pro-tocol.
Efficient maintenance
The WinTPM software module improves plantefficiency. It makes production less susceptibleto faults and provides reliable reminders wheninspections, cleaning, maintenance and serv-ice are due.

Remote diagnostics reduce downtimes
When the distances between SINUMERIK sys-tems are considerable, high-speed remote on-line diagnostics over telephone, Ethernet andInternet (e-mail alarms and SMS messages)are exactly what you need. Remote diagnosissaves costs, makes it possible to avoid expen-sive service calls, reduces downtimes andincreases machine availability. A new dimen-sion in teleservice for SINUMERIK controls –worldwide, seven days a week, 24 hours aday.
“@Event“: the alarm e-mail softwarefor better service logistics
“@Event”, a revolutionary alarm e-mail soft-ware from Siemens for machine tool controls,opens a whole new perspective on minimizingdowntimes and implementing more efficientservice logistics thanks to immediate faultmessaging. @Event brings preventive mainte-nance full circle. With comparatively simplemeans, the machine control can send e-mailsto signal virtually any kind of impending event.Alarms and messages reach service personnelimmediately, and downtimes are reduced.
We set standards in safety:SINUMERIK Safety Integrated
“Safety Integrated”, our preventive, precau-tionary safety software, reduces installationoverhead on the machine and “slims down”the control cabinet. Because all safety func-tions are integrated in the control and drivetechnol-ogy, “Safety Integrated” protects bothpersonnel and machines.
All safety functions meet the requirements ofSafety Category 3 to EN 954-1.
This has resulted in a new standard that makesmachines safer and more flexible for the taskat hand and which increases plant availability.
Direct connection of two-channelI/O signals
More functions have been integrated into thesafety package “Safety Integrated“ so that it isnow possible to connect two-channel I/O sig-nals directly, e.g. for emergency stop push-buttons or light barriers.
Mastering extreme conditionsprofessionally
All safety-relevant faults in the system causethe dangerous movement to be brought to ahalt or result in fast contactless isolation fromthe motor.
This means greater operator protection duringset-up mode and additional protection for themachine, tool and workpiece in automaticmode.
For Perfect Networking of Your Production Facility:The IT Solutions Integration Concept
The IT Solutions integration concept is ourcontribution to integrated networking of yourproduction facility – in short, the problem-free exchange of data between productionplanning, operations planning and scheduling,and machine tool. For you, that means shortersetting-up times, reduced machine down-times, and simplified fault analysis.
Network your CNC quickly and reliably
The SinDNC software module adds yourSINUMERIK to any standard network faster,easier and more cost-effectively – and estab-lishes reliable connections with Windows PCsand UNIX workstations. NC program transfersare extremely user-friendly, and transfers bet-ween the SINUMERIK’s CNC archive and thecomputers are lightning-fast thanks to Ether-net, which can complete such transfers 100times faster than a standard serial connection.
The following function ranges are supported:
• Transfer, management and archiving of NC programs
• Machine data and production data acquisition
• Computer interface module for production control

Take Your Machine Where You Want it:With Digital Drives You’ll Reach YourDestination Quickly
The SIMODRIVE range of drives has beenespecially designed by us to interact withSINUMERIK controls, to achieve high contourprecision and short downtimes. SIMODRIVEdrives have a low moment of inertia andtherefore operate with high dynamics andalways produce maximum torque even at zerospeed.
The profiles of our SINUMERIK and SIMODRIVEproducts focus on a high level of profitabilityand the highest possible machine tool produc-tivity.
The SIMODRIVE 611 transistor pulse converterand digital controls are a compact modularsystem with a digital link. With this system,machine tools can be equipped with closed-loop control feed drives and main spindledrives to form a drive combination which canbe configured flexibly.
The SIMODRIVE 611 system makes sparinguse of both the mains power and the machineoperator’s power-factor correction.
Perfectly tailored to the SIMODRIVE 611and digital controls: 1FK, 1FT6 three-phase feed motors, 1FW6 torque motors,1FN linear motors and 1PH, 1PM, 1FEthree-phase main spindle motors
1FK motors are used for handling devices,portals, wood-processing machines and simplemachine tools as well as for auxiliary axes.
The 1FT6 is a compact feed motor with brutestrength. Its high natural torsional frequencies,true running quality and smoothness are out-standing guarantees for the surface quality ofthe workpiece.
SIMODRIVE linear motors:Real acceleration
The 1FN linear motors offer enhanced dynamicresponse and speed – thanks to the simpledesign of the drive. There is also a water-cooled version for applications where, inaddition to enhanced dynamic responseand speed, maximum precision is required.The two-loop cooling system keeps the inter-connecting parts between motor andmachine cool.
As a result, velocities of up to 300 m/min andaccelerations of up to 45 g are theoreticallypossible. In practice, today’s machine toolsalready reach feedrates of 100 m/min andaccelerations of 1.5 g.
High power density with simultaneous com-pact machine design can be achieved by usingthe powerful rare-earth magnetic material inthe 1FK, 1FT, 1FN and 1FE1 synchronous mo-tors. But that is not all: The design of our drivesmeets all the demands placed on reliabilityand load capability, so that even use in ahostile environment will not cause any prob-lems.
High power density with 1FE built-in motors
In addition, the 1FE built-in motors are shrunkdirectly onto the motor spindle, for example, thusdrastically reducing the entire spindle head vo-lume despite having the same performance. Our1FE1 synchronous built-in motors with theirexceptionally high power density and speeds ofup to 30,000 rpm come into operation whereverhigher demands are placed on machining quality,precision and smooth running. The permanentlyexcited motor spindles (PE spindles) and liquidcooling make a major contribution here. Theoptimum combination of 1FE1 drive, drive controland CNC control offers further rationalizationpotential – higher productivity, lower part-processing times and less installation space arethe pleasing results.
