Legal information

Warning notice system

This manual contains notices you have to observe in order to ensure your personal safety, as well as to prevent damage to property. The notices referring to your personal safety are highlighted in the manual by a safety alert symbol, notices referring only to property damage have no safety alert symbol. These notices shown below are graded according to the degree of danger.

DANGER

indicates that death or severe personal injury will result if proper precautions are not taken.

WARNING

indicates that death or severe personal injury may result if proper precautions are not taken.

CAUTION

with a safety alert symbol, indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken.

CAUTION without a safety alert symbol, indicates that property damage can result if proper precautions are not taken.

NOTICE indicates that an unintended result or situation can occur if the corresponding information is not taken into

account.

If more than one degree of danger is present, the warning notice representing the highest degree of danger will be used. A notice warning of injury to persons with a safety alert symbol may also include a warning relating to property damage.

Qualified Personnel

The device/system may only be set up and used in conjunction with this documentation. Commissioning and operation of a device/system may only be performed by qualified personnel. Within the context of the safety notes in this documentation qualified persons are defined as persons who are authorized to commission, ground and label devices, systems and circuits in accordance with established safety practices and standards.

Structure of the documentation

The SINUMERIK documentation is organized in three parts:

● General documentation

● User documentation

● Manufacturer/service documentation

Information on the following topics is available at http://www.siemens.com/motioncontrol/docu:

● Ordering documentation Here you can find an up-to-date overview of publications.

● Downloading documentation

Target group

Benefits

Links to more information for downloading files from Service & Support.

● Researching documentation online Information on DOConCD and direct access to the publications in DOConWEB.

● Compiling individual documentation on the basis of Siemens contents with the My Documentation Manager (MDM), refer to http://www.siemens.com/mdm.

My Documentation Manager provides you with a range of features for generating your own machine documentation.

● Training and FAQs Information on our range of training courses and FAQs (frequently asked questions) is

Preface

Standard scope

This documentation only describes the functionality of the standard version. Extensions or changes made by the machine tool manufacturer are documented by the machine tool 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.

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.

Terms

The meanings of some basic terms are given below in this documentation. Program A program is a sequence of instructions to the CNC which combine to produce a specific

workpiece on the machine. Contour

Technical Support

The term contour refers generally to the outline of a workpiece. More specifically, it refers to the section of the program that defines the outline of a workpiece comprising individual elements.

Cycle A cycle, e.g. rectangular pocket milling, is a subroutine defined in HMI sl for executing a

frequently repeated machining operation.

Introduction

1.1 Product overview

The SINUMERIK controller is a CNC (Computerized Numerical Controller) for machine tools. You can use the CNC to implement the following basic functions in conjunction with a

machine tool:

● Creation and adaptation of part programs

● Execution of part programs

● Manual control

● Access to internal and external data media

● Editing of data for programs

● Management of tools, zero points and further user data required in programs

● Diagnostics of controller and machine

Operating areas

The basic functions are grouped in the following operating areas in the controller:

1.3 Machine control panels

1.3.1 Overview

The machine tool can be equipped with a machine control panel by Siemens or with a specific machine control panel from the machine manufacturer.

You use the machine control panel to initiate actions on the machine tool such as traversing an axis or starting the machining of a workpiece.

1.3.2 Controls on the machine control panel

In this example, the MCP 483C IE machine control panel is used to illustrate the operator controls and displays of a Siemens machine control panel.

The status display includes the most important information about the current machine status and the status of the NCK. It also shows alarms as well as NC and PLC messages.

Depending on your operating area, the status display is made up of several lines:

● Large status display The status display is made up of three lines in the "Machine" operating area.

● Small status display In the "Parameter", "Program", "Program Manager", "Diagnosis" and "Start-up" operating

areas, the status display consists of the first line from the large display.
