	Safety information	This Manual contains information which you should carefully observe
		to ensure your own personal safety and the prevention of material
		damage. The notices referring to your personal safety are highlighted
		in the manual by a safety alert symbol, notices referring to property
		damage only, have no safety alert symbol. Depending on the hazard
		level, warnings are indicated in a descending order as follows:
	Danger	Indicates that death or severe personal injury will result if proper


		precautions are not taken.
	Warning	This warning notice indicates that death or severe personal injury can


		result if proper precautions are not taken.

0	01/2008	Preface	0
0		Layout of manual	0
	Caution	means that there can be slight physical injury if the corresponding
	Caution
		safety measures are not followed.
	Caution	without a safety alert symbol, indicates that property damage may


		result if proper precautions are not taken.
	Notice	This means that an undesirable result or an undesirable state can


		occur if the information is ignored.
		If multiple levels of hazards can occur, the warning is always


		displayed with the highest possible level. If a warning with a warning
		triangle is to indicate physical injury, the same warning may also
		contain information about damage to property.
	Qualified persons	The associated device/system may only be set-up and operated in
		conjunction with this documentation. The device/system must be
		commissioned and operated by qualified personnel only. Qualified
		personnel as referred to in the safety guidelines in this documentation
		are those who are authorized to start up, earth and label units,
		systems and circuits in accordance with the relevant safety standards.
	Correct use	Please observe the following:
	Warning	The device must only be used for the applications specified in the
		catalog and in the technical description. The device must only be used
		in conjunction with external devices and components recommended
		or approved by Siemens. Correct, reliable operation of the product
		required proper transport, storage, positioning and assembly, as well
		as careful operation and maintenance.

	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
		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
		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
	Notes
		to draw your attention to an important item of information.
	References	This symbol appears whenever specific information can be found in
	References
		other documentation.
		A complete list of available literature is included in the Appendix of this
		Operator’s Guide.

1.1	Product overview

		The SINUMERIK controller is a CNC control system (Computerized
		Numerical Control) for machine tools.
		You can use the CNC control system to implement the following basic
		functions in conjunction with a machine tool:
		• Creation and adaptation of part programs
		• Execution of part programs
		• Manual control
		• Reading in and reading out of part programs and data
		• Editing of data for programs
		• Displaying and troubleshooting alarms
		• Editing of machine data
		• Setting up of communication links between 1 or more operating
		units (m) or 1 or more NCs (n)
		(m:n, m operating units and n NCK/PLC units).
	Operating areas	The basic functions are grouped in the following operating areas in the
	Operating areas

1	1.2	Handling information	1
	The user can call up all the functions via the user interface.
	The user interface consists of:
	• Display units such as screen, LEDs, etc.
	• Control elements such as keys, switches, handwheels, etc.
	Read Chapter 2 "Operation" carefully before proceeding with further
	chapters.
	All subsequent chapters are written on the assumption that you have
	done so!
1.2	Handling information

Caution

The operator panel front/machine control panel may only be opened by trained personnel for servicing purposes.

Danger

Never open the operator panel front/machine control panel unless the power supply has been disconnected! Failure to comply could result in fatal injury!

Warning

Electronic components inside the operator panel/machine control panel can be destroyed by electrostatic discharge if they are handled incorrectly.

Before operating any of the control elements on this operator panel front:

Please first read the explanations supplied in this documentation!

The keys marked with an * correspond to the key symbols in US layout.

Softkeys

Keys to which functions are assigned by means of a menu bar displayed on the screen.

•It is possible to access further menu levels via the horizontal softkeys in any operating area. Each horizontal menu item has a vertical menu bar/softkey assignment.

•The vertical softkeys are assigned functions for the currently selected horizontal softkey.

A function is called up by pressing one of the vertical softkeys. The assignments of the vertical softkey bar can change if further subsidiary functions are classified under a function.

Program management program overview

A program can be opened in the text editor.

Interrupt	Takes you directly to the Alarms
screen
User key	Can be configured by the customer

Notes

The keys marked with an * also have a function in conjunction with ShopMill/ShopTurn.

For this function to work, at least one recently edited program must be found with sufficient read rights. The program must not be already open in either a simulation or any other application. Actions such as load, copy, select, etc. must not be in progress and the part program must not be running on the NC.

In the above cases, the operation is denied with alarms 1203xx.

Press this hardkey in any operating area to reopen and display the part program or file last edited in the Program operating area:

•If you are already in the Program operating area and the editor is open, the program you last edited is displayed.

•If you are in any other operating area, and the editor is open, you jump back to the editor in the Program operating area and the most recent editor status is displayed.

If the editor is not open:

•If you are in another user application, you jump back to the Program operating area and the editor is opened with the program you last edited.
