Preface
Standard version
This documentation only describes the functionality of the standard version. Extensions or
changes made by the machine manufacturer are documented by the machine manufacturer.
Other functions not described in this documentation might be executable in the control.
However, no claim can be made regarding the availability of these functions when the
equipment is first supplied or in the event of servicing.
Further, for the sake of simplicity, this documentation does not contain all detailed
information about all types of the product and cannot cover every conceivable case of
installation, operation or maintenance.
The EC Declaration of Conformity for the EMC Directive can be found on the Internet at:

CompactFlash cards for users
● The SINUMERIK CNC supports the file systems FAT16 and FAT32 for
CompactFlash cards. You may need to format the memory card if you want to use a
memory card from another device or if you want to ensure the compatibility of the
memory card with the SINUMERIK. However, formatting the memory card will
permanently delete all data on it.
● Do not remove the memory card while it is being accessed. This can lead to damage of
the memory card and the SINUMERIK as well as the data on the memory card.
● If you cannot use a memory card with the SINUMERIK, it is probably because the
memory card is not formatted for the control system (e.g. Ext3 Linux file system), the
memory card file system is faulty or it is the wrong type of memory card.
● Insert the memory card carefully with the correct orientation into the memory card slot
(take note of arrows, etc.). This way you avoid mechanical damage to the memory card or
the device.
● Only use memory cards that have been approved by Siemens for use with SINUMERIK.
Even though the SINUMERIK keeps to the general industry standards for memory cards,
it is possible that memory cards from some manufacturers will not function perfectly in
this device or are not completely compatible with it (you can obtain information on
compatibility from the memory card manufacturer or supplier).
● The CompactFlash card from SanDisk "CompactFlash® 5000 Industrial Grade" has been
approved for SINUMERIK (Order Number 6FC5313-5AG00-0AA0).

1.2 Toolbox CD and other available tools
1.2 1.2 Toolbox CD and other available tools
Toolbox CD
The Toolbox CD for SINUMERIK 828D has the following content:
● PLC Programming Tool for Integrated PLC
● Commissioning software for SINAMICS S120
● PLC Library (example)
PLC Programming Tool for Integrated PLC
The following tool is available for programming the PLC: PLC Programming Tool for
Integrated PLC. For the rest of this manual, this will be referred to using the abbreviation
"Programming Tool".
Commissioning software for SINAMICS S120
Until the SINAMICS S120 commissioning functionality is completely available via the user
interface, drive configuration and optimization is performed using the commissioning
software for SINAMICS S120. The PC is connected using the Ethernet interface on the front
of the SINUMERIK 828D.
Note
Ordering data
You can find the ordering data for the following tools in Catalog NC 61.
RCS Commander
The RCS Commander (Remote Control System) is a tool the commissioner can use to
exchange files between the PC and the control very easily, using drag and drop.
For data transmission, the PC is connected directly to the Ethernet interface on the front of
the control. For a point-to-point connection, time-consuming parameterization of the Ethernet
interface is not necessary. All settings are made automatically by the RCS Commander.
The RCS Commander can also access several NCUs sequentially via a company network.
STARTER drive/commissioning software
Drive commissioning for the SINUMERIK 828D can be performed using the STARTER drive
commissioning software. Simple commissioning procedures which are usually performed by
field service staff (such as activating direct measuring systems) can be executed directly via
the SINUMERIK 828D user interface. Advanced commissioning procedures which are
usually performed when the machine is being manufactured (such as drive optimization) can
be executed offline via the commissioning software used for SINAMICS S120.

Delete OEM data All the data under /oem and /addon is deleted: OEM archives;
OEM alarm texts; Easy Screen application.
PLC stop PLC is stopped.
NOTICE
Replacement of the system CompactFlash card between different PPUs
Because of the system-related dependency between the CompactFlash card and SRAM for
the data storage in the SINUMERIK 828D, the system CompactFlash card should be
considered as a permanently installed EEPROM and should not be replaced!
If this has to be performed for imperative reasons, the replacement of the system
CompactFlash card is detected during startup because of the stored serial number.
The reaction of the control is the loading of saved during startup (backup was performed
previously with "Save data" softkey). If no stored data is found, a startup is performed
automatically with the "NCK default data".

1.4 Starting up the control
Empty RTC capacitor
If the RTC capacitor is discharged, the following message is issued during startup:
You can then reset the date and time:
The capacitor is then charged again when the control is switched on during startup.
An Ethernet cable is needed to connect the control and PG/PC. The following Ethernet
interfaces are available on the control:
● Connection via X127 (behind the flap on the front):
Cable type: Crossed Ethernet cable
At interface X127, the control is preset as a DHCP server, delivering the IP
address192.168.215.1 for a direct connection (peer-to-peer connection).
● Connection via X130 (at the back):
Cable type: Uncrossed Ethernet cable
The interface X130 is the connection to the company network. The IP address that the
PG/PC receives here as a DHCP client is determined by the DHCP server from the
company network or fixed IP address is entered manually.
