Structure of descriptions
All functions and operating options have been described according to
the same internal structure as far as this is meaningful and
practicable. The various levels of information have been organized
such that you can selectively access the information you need for the
task in hand.
1. Function
The theoretical section is primarily intended as learning material for
the NC entry-level user and includes important information to assist
the user to understand the operator functions.
You should work through the manual at least once to get an idea of
the operational scope and capability of your SINUMERIK control.
2. Sequence of operations
This section contains the sequence of keys required for operation at a
glance. If inputs have to be made at individual stages of the sequence
or if you require additional information, you will find this next to the key
illustrations.
3. Additional information
For safety reasons, some functions are disabled to protect them from
unauthorized access. The machine manufacturer can customize or
modify the described functionality. Please comply fully with the
instructions of the machine-tool manufacturer.
In this documentation, you will find this symbol with a reference to an
ordering data option. The described function can only run if the control
contains the designated option.
Notes This symbol appears in this documentation whenever it is necessary
to draw your attention to an important item of information.
References This symbol appears whenever specific information can be found in
other documentation.
A complete list of available literature is included in the Appendix of this
Operator’s Guide.

access to programs, data and functions to suit the user's
requirements.
The key-operated switch on the SINUMERIK 840D has 4 settings,
assigned to protection levels 4 to 7.

The screen is not automatically updated after a change in access
authorization (e.g., when the key-operated switch position is
changed), but only when the screen is next refreshed (e.g., on closing
and opening a directory).
The currently valid access authorization is checked every time a
function is executed.
If the PLC is in the STOP state, the input image of the machine control
panel is not scanned. For this reason, the key-operated switch
positions are not evaluated during commissioning.

If this function is active, execution is interrupted after every block that
triggers a function on the machine
(calculation blocks do not cause an interruption).
If this function is active, the part program blocks are executed as
follows: Each block is decoded separately and execution is interrupted
after every block.
If this function is active, the part program blocks are executed
individually in the cycle as follows:
Each block is decoded separately and execution is interrupted after
every block. Part program blocks are
- Traversing blocks
- Switching and auxiliary functions
- Blocks generated internally in the controller (e.g. blocks inserted
for tool radius compensation)
- Thread blocks after retraction
- Thread blocks with dry run feedrate
Thread blocks without dry run feedrate are an exception to this. In
such blocks, a stop is only performed at the end of the current thread
block. SBL2 can only be selected in the Reset state.
Either SBL1 or SBL2 can be selected!
This function can be activated only in the "Single block" state.

Creating the file "Workpiece.JOB" (z.B. SHAFT.JOB)
There are various methods by which job lists can be created:
• While creating a workpiece directory with the function "New",
generate a standard job list as a file in this workpiece. The job list
syntax is included as a comment in this standard job list.
The "Create templates for job list" field under "Startup/HMI/System
settings/Templates“ must first be checked.
With this method, the file is automatically assigned the name of the
relevant workpiece directory, Workpiece.JOB (e.g. SHAFT.JOB).
• Create job lists with different names in an existing workpiece
directory with the function "New".
• Job lists can be inserted in an existing workpiece directory.
The job list can be modified with the editor.
Notes
You can create your own templates for job lists or standard part
programs/subprograms in the directory \Templates\Manufacturer or
\Templates\User. The data manager always searches the User
directory first, then the Manufacturer directory, and finally the Siemens
directory. Job list templates can be stored according to language and
system.
See Programming operating area: 6.1.5 Templates.

2.7.1 Syntax description for job lists
Explanation
The job list syntax consists of 3 instructions
• Load instruction LOAD
• Select instruction SELECT
• Copy instruction COPY (for m:n link only)
Notes
As regards the job list commands, a distinction must be made
between an m:n network and a 1:1 link between the HMI and NCs.
It is advisable to use the instruction LOAD for a 1:1 link and COPY for
an m:n link, at least for global programs and, in particular, cycles used
in several NCUs.
Comment
ll terms placed inside "brackets" or ";" are comments and are ignored
when the job list is processed.
Description of syntax
2
LOAD [source]
The LOAD instruction loads one or several files from the HMI into the
NC working memory, deleting the source file on the HMI. In other
words, the files are only stored in one location.
This instruction is recommended for a 1:1 link.
[source] is [path]/[name]
The path/name defines the relevant path within the file tree of the data
manager.
Wildcards (i.e., *) may also be used in the name.
Examples:
LOAD *
(Loads all files from the workpiece directory of the job list)
LOAD /MPF.DIR/*
(Loads all files from one directory, e.g., in this case all files
from part programs (MPF.DIR))
LOAD PART1.MPF
(Loads one file, e.g., PART1.MPF from the currently selected
workpiece directory of the job list)
LOAD /SPF.DIR/PART1.SPF

SELECT [source] [destination] [
The SELECT instruction selects a program for execution. The
selected program must be loaded into the working memory of the NC.
It can then be started with NC Start.
If programs on the hard disk must be executed, then the command
must include the keyword DISK.
[source]
is the name of the main program which is selected for execution in a
specific channel in the NCK.
[destination]
A channel must be specified as the destination.
CH=
Channel number (for a 1:1 link only);
or
with NETNAMES:INI: Channel name (channels are unambiguously
distributed across all NCs);
or
NC name, channel number
Example:
CH=2
(2, corresponds to the channel number)
CH=Station5
(Station5, corresponds to channel name from
NETNAMES.INI)
CH=ncu_b,1
(ncu_b, corresponds to the NCU name from NETNAMES.INI
1, corresponds to the local channel number of this NCU)
[DISK]
can be optionally specified for program execution from hard disk.
Examples:
SELECT PART12 CH=CHANNEL22
SELECT PART12 CH=NCU_2,2
(PART2 is selected in the 2nd channel of NCU_2)
SELECT /shaft1.wpd/side1.mpf CH=2 DISK
(Part program PAGE1.MPF of workpiece SHAFT1.WPD
is executed from hard disk in the 2nd channel)

COPY [source] [destination]
The COPY instruction copies one or several files from the HMI to an
NC working memory. The original files remain stored on the HMI.
The COPY instruction is executed only if the relevant file does not yet
exist at the destination or if it has a different time stamp.
This instruction is recommended for an m:n link.
If this type of file needs to be modified, it must always be edited on the
NC. If the file has been distributed more than once via the job list, and
you want the changes to be active in all NCs, you must first unload
that file, then edit it, and finally redistribute it via the job list.
[source] is [path]/[name]
[destination] is the NCU/channel address:
The destination can be specified using one of the three address
categories. Only the logical name from the NETNAMES.INI file is
taken into account.
NC= Name of the NCU
Without NETNAMES.INI, it is only possible to specify the NC
name with NC=.
CG= Name of the channel group, i.e., copy in every channel of this
group (therefore in all NCs to which the channels are
assigned).
Parameter CG can be specified only if a channel menu is
configured.
CH= Name of channel
Channel names are only uniquely assigned across all NCs, if
a channel menu is configured.
If no destination is specified, the source is copied to the NC currently
linked to the HMI. If * is entered as the destination, the source is
distributed to all the NCs configured in NETNAMES.INI.

(Copies all files from the workpiece of the job list to all NCs
that are configured in NETNAMES.INI)
COPY PART12.MPF NC=NCU_2
(Copies one file from the workpiece of the job list to the NC
"NCU_2")
COPY /SPF.DIR/PART1.* CG=MILL2
(Copies all files with one name from one directory, e.g.,
PART1.* from subprograms (SPF.DIR) to a channel group,
i.e., to all NCs that have channels from this group assigned to them)
COPY /MPF.DIR/* CH=CHANNEL22
(Copies all files from one directory, e.g., all files from part
programs (MPF.DIR) to the NC which has this channel assigned to
it.)
2.7.2 Example of a job list with two-channel 1:1 links
LOAD /MPF.DIR/Gen.MPF
Example
If only channel1 and channel2 on NCU1 (1:1 link) were involved in
machining of the workpiece, then the job list structure would be as
follows:
LOAD /Work.DIR/Part1.WPD/WpdGen.MPF
LOAD /Work.DIR/Part1.WPD/ Channel1.MPF
LOAD /Work.DIR/Part1.WPD/ Channel1.INI
LOAD /Work.DIR/Part1.WPD/ K12.MPF
LOAD /Work.DIR/Part1.WPD/ Channel2.MPF
LOAD /Work.DIR/Part1.WPD/ Channel2.INI
LOAD /Work.DIR/Part1.WPD/ K22.MPF
SELECT /Work.DIR/Part1.WPD/Channel1.MPF CH=1
SELECT /Work.DIR/Part1.WPD/Channel2.MPF CH=2
The destination is not specified for loading in a 1:1 link, the current NC
is the default.

If a job list named Workpiece.JOB is stored in a workpiece directory,
then the functions are executed for that job list.
However, the functions can be executed directly on the job list, e.g., if
the directory contains job lists that are named differently from the
workpiece.
Additional information
"Load" job list
"Load" means that all the prepared job list instructions are executed.
The data is distributed from [Source] to [Destination], to the
destination NCs with the instruction LOAD or COPY. The workpiece is
then marked as "loaded".
SELECT instructions are ignored.
If the workpiece/job list is loaded, then the log window displays a list of
the files to be distributed.
The log window can be displayed in the event of an error. Loading of
the job list can then be aborted if necessary.
Marking of files on user interface
If the file is stored only on the hard disk of the HMI, then it is marked
as "not loaded".
If the file is only located in the working memory of the NC, it is marked
as loaded with an "X".
If the file is located both on the HMI and the NC, the identifier "X" is
only removed when the files are no longer identical.
If the files have different time stamps or are of different lengths, the
identifier is "!X!".

"Select" job list
If you select a job list or workpiece with job list, all instructions of the
job list are executed.
LOAD instructions are executed if the files are still stored on the HMI.
COPY instructions are executed only if the files are not stored on the
NC or if the file copy on the NC has a different time stamp to the HMI
copy. If the time stamps are different, the system asks whether the file
should be overwritten.
SELECT instructions are executed.
"Unload" job list
"Unload" means that the instructions of the job list are "undone", the
instructions in the job list are executed in reverse order, e.g.:
Data which have been loaded to a destination NC with a LOAD
instruction are unloaded from [destination] to [source] into the source
directory on the HMI.
Data which has been loaded to a destination NC with a COPY
instruction is deleted in the [destination] if the time stamps are
identical. If the file on the NC was changed, the user is prompted
whether the version from the NC is to be saved to the HMI.
With "Unload" only files are transferred from the passive file system of
the NC. If, for example, modifications have been made to the active
data in parameters, these must be saved beforehand.

2.7.5 Re-naming workpieces with job lists
Function
When you rename a workpiece directory, all the workpiece files under
that directory that have the same name as the directory are renamed.
If a job list with the name of the directory exists, the instructions in that
job list are also renamed.
Comment lines remain unchanged.
Example:
Workpiece directory A.WPD is renamed B.WPD:
All files with the name A.XXX are renamed as B.XXX , i.e. the
extension is retained.
If a job list called A.JOB exists, it is renamed as B.JOB.
If this job list contains instructions of file A.XXX and these are located
in this workpiece directory, then that file is also renamed B.XXX.
Example:
If job list A.JOB contains an instruction
LOAD/Work.DIR/A.WPD/A.MPF
it is renamed as
LOAD/Work.DIR/B.WPD/B.MPF
However, if a job list contains the instruction
LOAD/MPF.DIR/A.MPF or
LOAD/Work.DIR/X.WPD/A.MPF
the files are not renamed.

Two-channel view
Two-channel display is simply a display method for viewing the
channel information. Changes to NC channel data must still be made
in the single-pane display. See switchover. As changes to the NC
channel data are not entered via two-channel display, no modespecific softkeys are required if channels in different operating modes
are displayed in the left and right panes.
The division into two channel panes results in new supplementary
conditions for the information in each channel pane: In two-channel
view
• It is not possible to make entries in the relevant buffers in "MDI"
and "Teach-in" modes.
You have to switch to single-channel view to make entries.
• Traversing movements of the axes are not accepted.
• The "program blocks" display is disabled if a part program is being
executed from an external source in one of the displayed
channels.
For selecting and changing operating modes, please refer to the
following chapter.

The display can be toggled between the machine and workpiece
coordinate systems by means of special key "MCS/WCS" on the MCP
or via softkeys (depending on MCP model and user program). The
actual position display for the distance-to-go and the corresponding
axes change.
Machine axes are axes that actually exist on the machine and have
been parameterized during installation.
These are the axes programmed in the part program. Geometry axes and
special axes are offset by the selected work offset relative to the machine
axes.
Three is the maximum number of Cartesian geometry axes.
The machine coordinate system (= MCS) refers to the coordinates of
the machine axes, i.e., all machine axes are displayed in the machine
coordinate system.
An offset (e.g., work offset, rotation) can be used to set up a
relationship, e.g., with the workpiece clamp. This relationship defines
the position of the workpiece coordinate system (= Work) in relation to
the machine coordinate system. The workpiece is always represented
in a Cartesian coordinate system.
All geometry axes and special axes are displayed in the workpiece
coordinate system.
