1 Introduction – The SINUMERIK 840C
and its Operation
The SINUMERIK 840C is a CNC (Computer Numerical Control),
intended mainly for automation applications.
Generally, the CNC implements the following basic functions (in
conjunction with a machine tool or such like):
S Automatic workpiece machining
S Free programming of axes
S Programming of technological functions such as feed, spindle speed,
etc.
S Controlling of the axes and spindles in conjunction with the drives and
the measuring systems
S Scanning and controlling input and output signals via the PLC
program
S Machine operation via the machine control panel
S Storing user data in the CNC memory
S Organizing data exchange with I/O devices.
The operator interface (monitor displays, keyboard) is the connecting
element between operator action and the machine. This Operator’s
Guide describes only functions which are within the standard scope of
supply of Siemens. The machine manufacturer can also configure
functions and monitor displays and he can connect his own keyboard.
Please read the machine manufacturer’s Operator’s Guide in these
cases.

1.1 Switching on the control
1.1 Switching on the control
Switching on of the control can be implemented
in various ways by the machine manufacturer.
Please refer to the machine manufacturer’s
specifications.
Please note:
The control is switched on by switching on the input voltage at the power
supply of the central controller.
After the control has been switched on, different start-up images appear
for a few seconds. The control software is loaded, i.e. the NCK and the
MMC software is booted from the hard disk.
When the control is installed, the PLC software is loaded from the hard
disk into the battery-backed RAM memory, i.e. the PLC software is not
booted when the control is powered up.
10.94
Power-up of the control is performed in the following sequence:
1. The operating system software is loaded
2. The user data are loaded from the NC/DATA directory on the hard
disk. These might be IKA and GIA data. The machine data (TEA1,
TEA2, etc.) are not loaded during power-up. These data are stored in
battery-backed memory.
3. The system now loads all of the data assigned to the STANDARD
workpiece. The Siemens and user cycles can only be loaded with the
STANDARD workpiece (LOADCYC command in the job list).
The machine manufacturer can configure whether the last selected
workpieces are to be loaded from the hard disk at this stage. If, in the
3rd phase, the same data are loaded with a workpiece (e.g. RPA,
TOA etc.) as in the 2nd phase, these data are overwritten by the
workpiece-related data.
If not otherwise configured by the machine manufacturer, the main menu
of the JOG mode appears after power-up of the control. Operator
actions on the control can be performed after the screen has built up
completely.

1.2 Structure of the operator interface
1.2 Structure of the operator interface
5 operating areas The SINUMERIK 840C operator interface is divided into 5 areas:
MACHINE, PARAMETER, PROGRAMMING, SERVICES and
DIAGNOSIS. The 5 areas will be displayed as softkey functions any time
you press the area switchover key.
Area switchover key
Machine Parameter Programm. Services Diagnosis
Fig. 1.1 shows you which operator actions are possible in the different
operating areas. With the SINUMERIK 840C, you can edit the part
programs in two different memories:
S in the NCK memory (volatile RAM memory)
S on the hard disk (MMC–CPU).
If you work on the volatile RAM memory, you must store the edited or
newly created programs on the hard disk if they are to be retained after
switching off the control.
If you edit a program on the hard disk, this program must be loaded in
the NCK memory in order to be executed.
For this purpose, the SAVE softkey function is provided in the MACHINE
and PROGRAM areas as well as the SAVE NC function in the
SERVICES area. The PROGRAM area optionally offers a graphic
programming system and a DIN code simulation. You will find a
description of this system in separate publications of the User’s Guide
Graphic Programming System for
S Drilling/Boring and Milling
S Turning
and in User’s Guide, Simulation: Milling and Turning.

1.3 Menu switchover
Softkeys are keys which are variably assigned with functions.
The 5 areas of the SINUMERIK 840C are selected via softkeys. Within
these areas further branching via softkeys is possible.
Operating the RECALL key brings you back to the next higher menu
level.
An arrow in the first softkey window indicates that you can return to a
menu:

1.3 Menu switchover
In each area, the menu last active is stored on area
switchover (exception: MACHINE area).
If you leave an area and do not wish to return to the
menu level currently selected, you switch over to the
main menu of the area with RECALL. This brings you
to the defined initial status of this area. This
procedure simplifies operation when first selecting
the area. By pressing the SHIFT and RECALL keys
you will obtain the basic display immediately from
any branch in the PARAMETER, SERVICES,
DIAGNOSIS and PROGRAMMING areas.
When leaving the area the control “remembers” the
deselected area. This area is selected again by
pressing the area switchover key twice.

1.4 Directory structure
1.4 Directory structure
Directories Structures from the PC world have been integrated in the SINUMERIK
840C. The PROGRAMMING, SERVICES and DIAGNOSIS areas as well
as program selection (DATA SELECTOR) contain directories. These
directories are a file management aid for sorting and storing files.
Directories can in turn contain subdirectories. Only one directory level is
displayed on the screen at any one time.
File The softkey bar does not change when you “page” through the
directories. Softkey function and directory are not directly related. A file
is a logical data unit which you can address with a name (e.g. MPF1,
TOA1, ...). Files can be assigned to directories according to specific
criteria, i.e. MPF1 to the workpiece (directory) SHAFT1 or TEA1 to the
directory NC. You can assign directories to other directories, which you
also address with a name (e.g. LOCAL directory).
Directory path This results in “directory paths” which you can page through as follows.
Using the vertical cursor keys, set the cursor on a directory and press
the INPUT key. The next subdirectoy in this directory is opened.
Continue doing this until you have reached the directory of the files. You
recognize files by the entry in the LENGTH column. You reach the next
higher level from a directory level by using the vertical cursor keys to
position the cursor on the line with the double dot
the directory and then acknowledge with INPUT. If you have reached the
highest level, the double dot is replaced by a hyphen.
at the beginning of
Data selector
Hotkeys
...
...
If you change the area by means of key or softkey functions (e.g.
change from SERVICES to DIAGNOSIS) from any directory, the
directory level last selected is stored. When reselecting the area, this
brings you back to the directory used previously. Switchover between
areas can be performed at any time, e.g. to look at a parameter or
machine data.
A program that interprets your keyboard entries (cursor, input) as a file
or directory selection, displays it on the screen (bar) and passes it on to
other programs (e.g. editor).
With 840C software version 5 and higher the data selector responds to
hotkeys. The first object (directory/file) in the current directory that starts
with the letter or number entered is found and selected.

Workpiece With the SINUMERIK 840C you can store part programs and NCK data
(TOA, SEA, RPA, ZOA) in a directory from now on referred to as
workpiece. You can then load this workpiece and its data completely into
the NCK area. Thus you can store all relevant data (part programs, tool
offsets) required for a workpiece under one workpiece name and load it
any time you wish.

Type In addition to being identified by name, workpieces and files are also
assigned a type identifier. This provides a unique assignment between
the variable name and the created file or directory type. The type
identifiers are as follows:

Fig. 1.2 SIEMENS directory and user directory in the SERVICES/DATA
IN–OUT/DEVICES area
Siemens directory The Siemens directory includes all data which are relevant for the
control’s operating system. You cannot edit or read out data in the
Siemens directory; you can merely copy this data into the user directory,
where it can be handled in exactly the same way as user data.
User directory The user directory includes all user data. The fact that system data
copied into the user directory can be edited there makes it possible to
modify the configuration files of the control. The data of the user branch
(if available) are always used before any other for the system
configuration on powering up of the control. These possibilities are only
relevant in the start-up phase and are password-protected against
unauthorized operation.
You will find a possibility to use this structure in the SERVICES/DATA
IN–OUT/DEVICE SETTINGS.
Here you can copy a standard interface configuration from the Siemens
directory into the user directory and modify it in accordance with your
data save device.

1.6 Screen darkening
1.6 Screen darkening
The SINUMERIK 840C includes a function by which the screen is
darkened after an adjustable period of time.
The default value of this period is 2 hours, i.e. as a rule the screen
darkens 2 hours after a key has last been activated; this value can be
changed in the PC data basic settings in the DIAGNOSIS area. The
display is activated once any key on the alphanumeric keyboard or on
the machine control panel, is pressed. The first keystroke simply
reactivates the screen and does not initiate its normal function. With the
screen darkening function, only the monitor is switched off and all other
functions remain active.
By pressing the SHIFT and ACTUAL POSITION IN LARGE
CHARACTERS keys, you can darken the monitor yourself and reactivate
the display by pressing any key on the alphanumeric keyboard.
Screen darkening can also be implemented by the
machine manufacturer via the PLC program. In this
case, the operator actions mentioned above do not
apply. Refer to the machine manufacturer’s
Operator’s Guide.

Caution!
All internal processes which generate screen outputs
do not cancel screen darkening. This also applies to
alarms and operational messages.

1.7 Data backup options
1.7 Data backup options
The memory capacity of the hard disk on the MMC–CPU module
enables you to store large volumes of data in the SINUMERIK 840C. It is
advisable, however, to perform a data dump of all relevant data on an
external data device (programmer, PC, etc.) because the data will be
lost irretrievably if the MMC–CPU (which incorporates the hard disk)
develops a defect.
Archive list As a backup aid, the SINUMERIK 840C allows directories and files to be
archived in archive lists, i.e. you can store a list of all important files and
directories under a name that you specify and output this complete to an
external device (see Services section, “Creating archive lists”).
The SINUMERIK 840C has various hardware interfaces which can be
addressed by the software.
Output via The RS232C (V24)/20mA interface on the MMC–CPU enables you to
RS232C/V24 output your user data from the hard disk in PC format or in punched tape
format (see Services section, “Data input-output”). The interface
automatically changes over between RS232C (V24) and 20 mA mode,
depending on the connected device and corresponding cable.
Constantly update the backup data so that you have
the current data available externally should a fault
occur.
Via the RS232C (V24) interface, you can also print out data directly with
a printer (SERVICES/DATA IN–OUT/PRINT function).
The SINUMERIK FD–E2 diskette unit (option) can be used for backing
up data.
Computer link Optionally you can implement a computer link with the
SINUMERIK 840C (only in the NCK area) by using link modules.

2.2.2 PC standard keyboard (MF–2)
An MF2 full standard keyboard can be connected. The machine control
panel functions, however, cannot be activated via this keyboard.
A set of key caps is supplied with the standard MF2 keyboard. These
key caps correspond to the symbols on the operating panel and can be
mounted on the standard keyboard as shown in the drawing.
The full standard keyboard does not comply with the
conditions (noise immunity) of a SINUMERIK control;
therefore it should be used only for start-up and
during servicing. The MF2 keyboard is connected to
the operator panel interface.
