PLC system software
The PLC system software, like the NC system software, largely has the same functionality as
the SINUMERIK 840D.
SinuCom NC
SinuCom NC is a Windows-based tool for commissioning the SINUMERIK 840Di sl NC
offering options for the:
●
interactive parameterization of the NC
●
option management and license management
●
management of series startup files.
840Di startup
The Windows-based user interface 840Di-Startup (see Section "840Di-Startup" (Page 38))
offers basic operation functionality to allow the operator to become familiar with the
SINUMERIK 840Di sl.
840Di startup is part of the scope of supply of a SINUMERIK 840Di sl and is already installed
on the hard disk of the PCU.
Optional HMI components
The following components of the SINUMERIK HMI modular system can be used optionally:
●
SINUMERIK HMI Advanced
HMI Advanced is the SINUMERIK-standard user interface especially for machine tools.
●
SIMATIC Protool/Pro and Protool/Pro Option SINUMERIK
SIMATIC Protool/Pro and Protool/Pro Option SINUMERIK are configuring packages
packets for creating the technology-specific user interfaces.
The ProTool/Pro runtime system is the prerequisite for running a configured operator
interface.
●
SINUMERIK HMI programming package
The HMI Programming Package can be used to integrate OEM high-level language
applications using standardized interfaces (COM/OPC). The OEM obtains as much
flexibility as possible for developing user interfaces using standard development tools
(such as Visual C++).
The HMI Programming Package basically contains interface descriptions and
corresponding example applications. Detailed information on the OPC interface can be
called from the Internet at the address of OPC Foundation
(http://www.opcfoundation.org.).
