Preface

SINUMERIK Documentation

The SINUMERIK documentation is organized in 3 parts:

• General documentation
• User documentation
• Manufacturer/Service Documentation

An overview of publications, which is updated on a monthly basis and provides information about the language versions available, can be found on the Internet at: http://www.siemens.com/motioncontrol Follow the menu items "Support" \rightarrow "Technical Documentation" \rightarrow "Overview of Publications".

The Internet version of DOConCD (DOConWEB) is available at: http://www.automation.siemens.com/doconweb

Information about training courses and FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) can be found in internet under: http://www.siemens.com/motioncontrol under menu item "Support"

Target readership of this documentation

This manual is intended for machine-tool users. The document describes in detail all the technical information an operator needs to operate the SINUMERIK 840Di sl/840D sl/840D controls.

Standard scope

This Operator's Guide describes only the functionality of the standard version. Extensions or changes made by the machine manufacturer are documented by the machine manufacturer.

Other functions not described in this documentation might be executable in the control. This does not, however, represent an obligation to supply such functions with a new control or when servicing.

Questions on the manual

If you have any questions about the documentation (suggestions, corrections) please send a fax or e-mail to the following address: Fax: +49 (0) 9131 / 98 - 63315 E-mail: docu.motioncontrol@siemens.com

EC Declaration of Conformity

The EC Declaration of Conformity for the EMC Directive can be viewed/downloaded from the Internet at: http://support.automation.siemens.com under the Product Order No. 15257461 or at the relevant branch office of the A&D MC Division of Siemens AG.

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.

Caution means that there can be slight physical injury if the corresponding 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

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.
