1.2.1 Information on module handling
Additional instructions:
• Do not open the special packaging unnecessarily.
• Do not bring into contact with synthetic materials (possibility of static charging).
• Disconnect the power supply prior to insertion and removal.
1.2.2 Grounding system
Proper grounding to divert external interference is vital to trouble-free operation. It must be

ensured that the ground wires are not looped and have the required cross section.
Grounding concept
• The grounding system fulfils the requirements of the DIN VDE 0160 standard.
• The grounding concept for NC, PC, drives and machines is uniform.
• The ground connections are run in star configuration to a central mass point.
• The equipotential bonding strip is used for equipotential bonding of the external
components.
• PE terminal.
Refer to the instruction manual for an example of the grounding concept for SINUMERIK 840.
1.2.3 Position encoders
Particular attention is to be paid to the prescribed installation of the graduated scales (air gap,
etc.) and the pulse generators (coupling) (also see Heidenhain installation and adjustment
instructions).
Check to make sure that the connectors are correctly wired and properly inserted.
If the customer has inserted plug/socket connectors in the measuring-circuit cables, a careful
check must be made to ensure connection, strain relief and above all observance of the
prescribed shielding.
The use of position encoders from other manufacturers may result in inaccuracy and surface
quality problems beyond our control.
1.2.4 Cable laying
Power cables and control cables should be laid separately whenever possible. Do not produce
ground loops, as such loops or non-regulation grounding may generate ripple voltage which
would affect the speed controller setpoint. Smooth running of the motor at minimum speeds is
then no longer guaranteed.
Care must be taken that the cables are run properly and that they are rolled carefully on the
cable drum. Avoid kinking. Observe the permissible bend radii.
(Please refer to the Interface Description, Part 2, for information on connecting the cables.)

SINUMERIK 840C (IA)

1 Prerequisites and Visual Inspection 06.93
1.2.5 Cables
1.2.5 Cables
Check all cables in accordance with the cable and equipment overview (refer to Interface
Description, Part 2). This applies particularly to cables made up by the customer.
A random check should be made on at least one connector. Particular attention should be paid
to elastomeric connections.
In the event of failure to comply with our guidelines, the relevant dealer must be notified and
any necessary corrective measures instigated.
1.2.6 Shielding
The overall shields of all cables running to or from the control must be grounded at the control
via the connectors (refer to Interface Description, Part 2). Only SINUMERIK connectors may
be used, as other connectors cause interference problems.
1.2.7 Interference suppression
All d.c. and a.c. relays must be interference-suppressed using suitable means, as must a.c. or
three-phase motors (e.g. lubricating pumps and the like). Observance of the prescribed
measures for interference suppression should be checked on a random basis (also refer to the
Instruction Manual).
1.2.8 Operator panel
Check to make sure that pushbuttons, keys, lamps, symbols and display are operational.
1.2.9 Overall state

Check the module mounts and blanking plates.
Make sure that the front panel screws have been tightened (ground connection).
Check to see that the accessory pack is complete.
The accessory pack must contain the following:

• Log book
• Complete parts list (the parts list is included with the original delivery note and must be
inserted in the log book)
• Transparent cover plates and symbol overlays for keys
• Instruction manual

1.2.10 Jumpering
1.2.10 Jumpering
The jumper configurations on the modules required at the time of installation and start-up is
discussed in Part 2 of the Interface Description.
1.2.11 Position control, input and measuring system resolution
In SINUMERIK, position control resolution and input resolution can be entered separately. In
order to maintain a closed position control loop, however, it is necessary to coordinate the
pulses from the digital measuring system with the control's precision capability.
The "unit (MS)" is used as unit of measurement for the position control resolution, the "unit
(IS)" as unit of measurement for the input resolution.
The following applies:

1 unit (MS) = 2 units of position control resolution
1 unit (IS) = 1 unit of input resolution
Example:
If the position control resolution is 0.0005 mm and the input resolution is 0.001 mm, then
1 unit (IS) = 1 unit (MS) = 1 µm
Refer to NC MD 5002, NC MD 1800*, NC MD 524* for details on input, position control and
display resolution.
1.2.12 Input units
Unit (MS) = 2 units of position control resolution (reference system MS)
e.g. 1 unit of position control resolution = 1/2 µm (MD 1800* = xxxx0100)

x..is irrelevant here
1 unit (MS) = 1 µm
Unit (IS) = 1 unit of input resolution (reference system IS)
e.g. 1 unit of input resolution = 1 µm (MD 5002 = 0100xxxx)
1 unit (IS) = 1 µm

1.3 Standard/Export version
1.3 Standard/Export version

Export regulations
Due to the fact that the German export list requires approval for certain control functions, two
versions of the SINUMERIK 840C can be configured.
The Standard Version (840C) is allowed to include the whole scope of functions of the control
and is therefore subject to export approval concerning its type.
The following options are not available with the Export Version (840CE):
– 5D interpolation
– interpolation and compensation with tables and extended IKA, with SW 4 or higher
The corresponding option bits can be set but have no effect (alarm triggered if functions are
programmed). As far as its type is concerned, the export version does not require export
approval.
It is however possible that the intended application nevertheless requires export approval.
The character of the control depends on the installed system software, which can be delivered
in the two versions Standard and Export. This also applies to the licences! Consequently, a
control system requires export approval if a system software subject to export approval is
installed on it (see specifications on delivery note or invoice of system software). This is of
particular importance if the system software is changed or upgraded because the control can
then become subject to export approval.
Identification of control
In addition to the specifications on the delivery note and the invoice, unambiguous labels
identify the delivered software components as Standard or Export versions.
The package contains additional labels for identifying the control after installation.
If the software is loaded the first time when the control is installed, the included small label for
the system software version has to be attached to the front plate of the MMC module in such
a way that is is clearly visible (applies also to licence software).
The package label for the system software version, which is also included, is to be put into the
logbook of the control. If new licences are supplied the corresponding number of labels is
included, and they are to be dealt with in the same way.
After the control has been powered up, the Export version is identified by the additional
character ”E” in the Service screen (NC information).
These measures for identification of the control version are important for servicing, and they
are also useful if the version of the control must be proved for export purposes, in particular if
existing negative certificates concerning the export version are to be used.

Hard-disk check (as from SW 4)
During booting from the MMC area, the consistency of the hard disk is checked. This check is
time-dependent and is performed once every week. In this context, it is important to note that
free disk space can be reduced due to lost clusters resulting from frequent switching on and
off the control. It is only by means of a hard-disk check that this disk space can once again be
made available. For this reason, a hard-disk check is also initiated if the remaining available
disk space drops to less than 1 MB.
The setting for the hard-disk check is possible only in the Service Mode and can be carried
out by the system service only.

1.6 Loading data into the NCK on starting up the control (as from SW 2)
1.6 Loading data into the NCK on starting up the control

(as from SW 2)
After the control has been switched on, data are transmitted from the hard disk of the MMC
into the memory of the NCK-CPU in 3 phases:
Phase 1: The system program of the NC-CPU is booted if

• the NC-CPU (using the Boot-EPROM) detects that the system program has
been lost in the DRAM (the program memory ist not buffered by a battery)
• a preceding boot process has been aborted by PO or mains off
• user operations have initiated forced booting
• the NCK operating system has detected a system error before mains off (or
PO reset) and is consequently no longer able to maintain data consistency
(alarm: start-up due to system error)
In this phase the "NCK system being loaded" message is displayed. The user cannot
influence this loading process.
Phase 2: Booting of user data which become effective after PO and are in the volatile
memory (DRAM).
After phase 1 the NC branches into the booted system program and requests the
following data from the MMC:
• the UMS (unless a customer UMS has been installed and activated, the
SIEMENS standard UMS is loaded) if the UMS size has been set to 0
(memory configuration as from SW 4)
• all user data records which were found in the data management tree under
user/NC data in the user branch.
Data records of the IKA*, etc. type are recognized and loaded.
If IKA is used, it is recommended to use this branch for storing the
IKA 2 and IKA 3 data records which are used for machine fault
compensation (use the Services area for copying).
In this phase the message "NCK user data being loaded" is again displayed.
After booting these user data records, the NC initiates a communication bus reset and runs its
initialisation programs (e.g. preparation and calculation of IKA data records) and subsequently
reports NC-RDY provided SIMODRIVE 611 D is switched on.
TEA 1, 2, 3, 4 are not loaded during start-up!
Phase 3: Now any data stored in the standard workpiece are loaded into the NCK.
Note:
The following data are booted:
as from SW 2, NCK data
as from SW 3, NCK and PLC data
as from SW 4, NCK, PLC and drive data (611D)

2.1 First installation and start-up of control (as from SW 3)
Hardware The central units of the SINUMERIK 840C are designed in a modular way. For
system configuration, structure, slots, frame assignment, wiring diagrams, inter-
face assignment and I/O interfaces, please refer to the Interface Description,
Part 2 (NS 2).
Do not use other than the specified types of cable for connecting the components
according to the wiring overview (NS 2).
Software The standard version of the MMC CPU is programmed with the following standard
software:
DR DOS V6.0
VALITEK SW + INSTALLATIONSTOOLS
The system software can be read in from magnetic tape.
Further optional software can be ordered either preinstalled or on cartridges.
For further information, please refer to the Catalog.
2.1.1 Erasing the S-RAM area of the NCK (as from SW 6)

General notes In order to obtain a defined initial state when installing/upgrading the control you
must erase the S–RAM of the NCK–CPU. In this way you will avoid errors caused
by incorrectly initialized data.
Explanation The S–RAM of the NCK–CPU contains data that must be stored permanently in
the control, even after it has been switched off. These are user data (machine
data, R parameters, tool data ...) and internal data.
Pressing the softkey ”Format user data” on starting up the control only initializes
the user data, the other r areas remain partially undefined which can result in spo-
radic errors.
In SW 6 and higher, the S–RAM of the NCK–CPU is automatically deleted when
you update the software or when the CSB battery fails, thus providing a defined
initial state.
On initial start–up of the control after the software has been updated, alarm 10
”Start–up after software update” is displayed and the control powers up in start–
up mode. You must then perform a start–up of the control.

3.2 PG function via MMC
The function exists on SW 4 and higher and can be ob-

tained as an option. It is mainly for servicing, testing and
commissioning.
General notes With this function you can use the functionality of the SIMATIC software STEP
5/MT level 6 on the SINUMERIK 840C control. PG functions can thus be
executed on the operating panel or on an MF2 keyboard. Operation via the opera-
tor panel or MF2 keyboard is restricted compared with operation on the program-
mer.
For the connection between the MMC and the PLC (on-line operation), the follow-
ing cable is required:
MMC-CPU, X151 <–––– 6FC9340–8W –––> PLC CPU, X111
(see INTERFACE DESCRIPTION PART 2 CONNECTION CONDITIONS).
The PG function via MMC is mainly used for:
Support in servicing, testing, installation and start-up with the following
functions:
S Status module
S Status variable
S Force PLC
S PLC info with BSTACK and USTACK and
S Cross-reference lists
Moreover, modules can be edited and loaded/stored from/to diskette (floppy FD–
E2).
A programming device (e.g. PG 750) is still required to write large PLC user pro-
grams because operation is restricted.

SINUMERIK 840C (IA)

When the PG software is selected, the 1st serial interface is disabled. It is only
enabled again when the PG mode is terminated.
Caution
With the PG software, it is possible to select other files as
well (not S5 files) to delete or copy them etc. with the func-
tion: object\DOS file\. The user is responsible for using this
function. System files can be deleted too.
Operation and application of the SIMATIC software STEP

Procedure PLC 135 WB2 with EPROM submodules for the operating system and the
up to SW 2 user program
Prerequisites: The PLC user program is available either on diskette or hard disk,
the RAM of the PLC CPU is clear.
Step Description
1 For the initial installation of the PLC, the PLC user program must first
be stored in the non-volatile memory of the control. For this purpose,
the PLC user program must be transferred onto the appropriate
EPROM submodule (6FC5 130–0CA01–0AA0), e.g. by means of the
PG750 programmer. The EPROM submodule is then plugged into the
X321 submodule slot (with the control being switched off).
2 Select general reset on the control:
SK ”Diagnosis” –> SK “NC diagnosis” –> SK “NC start-up” –>
SK “General reset”
3 Then the “PLC gen. reset” softkey in the “General reset” installation
menu is pressed to select deletion of the user memory and subse-
quent copying of the PLC user program from the EPROM submodule
into the RAM memory. The selection does not become effective until
the “Start-up end” softkey is pressed.
4 The PLC user program is now in the RAM of the PLC CPU and is
processed.
Note If you press the “PLC gen. reset” softkey and then the “Start-up end” softkey in
General reset mode, this causes the PLC user program in the RAM to be deleted
and the user program stored on the EPROM submodule is then loaded in the
RAM. If no EPROM submodule with a user program is plugged in, the RAM
remains clear; no user program is loaded.
1) The user data are transferred from the PG to the user data memory using the PG segment switch

SINUMERIK 840C (IA)

Procedure PLC 135 WB2 with RESTART EPROM submodule and PLC 135 WD
as from SW 3
Prerequisites: The PLC user program should exist either on diskette or on the
hard disk, the RAM of the PLC CPU is empty.
Step Description
1 The Restart EPROM submodule must be plugged in the X231 sub-
module slot (PLC 135 WB2 only).
2 Connect PG7xx to the control and load the STEP5 program.
3 Select General reset mode on the control.
SK “Diagnosis” –> SK “Start-up” –> SK “General reset mode”
4 Transfer the PLC user program from the PG7xx into the control. The
PLC user program is now in the buffered RAM of the PLC CPU.
5 In order to prevent a loss of data, it is advisable to store the PLC user
program on the hard disk of the MMC CPU. You can press the “Save
PLC” SK to achieve this. The selection becomes effective as soon as
the “End general reset mode” SK is pressed. The PLC user program
is stored in the Services area under User/PLC/Programs as
ANW_PRG file. You can also copy this program to another name. In
this way you can store a number of different PLC user programs on
the hard disk.
Note If you press the “PLC gen. reset” softkey the PLC user program in the RAM is
deleted and the user program stored on the hard disk as ANW_PRG is then loa-
ded into the RAM. The data in the user data memory are also deleted.
The RAM remains clear if the ANW_PRG file is not in the User/PLC/Program di-
rectory or has been deleted; no PLC user program is loaded.
If the PLC user program is available in PC format, you must read in the program
via the V24 interface. The PLC user program is then automatically stored under
User/PLC/Program as ANW_PRG file.
S A PLC general reset must then be performed.

3.5.1 LED display

After switching on the mains voltage, the interface control runs a self-diagnostics
program. This program tests the most important hardware components and initiali-
zes the software required for continuing system start up.
If errors in the system are recognized, the LED on the front plate displays the
error.
For a detailed error list, please refer to the “SINUMERIK 840C, Diagnostics
Guide”.

SINUMERIK 840C (IA)

3.5.2 System initialization program
3.5.2 System initialization program

After the self diagnostics program has been run through, the system initialization
program is requested.
In its first section, the data required for running the organization program are set
up. This setting up includes:
S Stack organization,
S Segmentation for word processor and co-processor,
S Entries in the location dependent CPU interrupt table,
S Task priority lists,
S Setting up task data,
S Initialization of counts and periodic values.
In the second section the system initialization program defines the type of start up
after switching on the mains voltage. The following points are checked:
S Whether the switch-on test pattern is missing (i.e. data lost)
S Whether there is a battery interrupt
S If the setting-up bit is set
S Request from the NC “automatic warm restart after setting-up overall reset”
S STOZUS operating status bit set (acquisition of interupt event or continuation
of the STOP state, see Section 8)
S Cold restart or warm restart attempt aborted.
If the STOZUS identifier is set, the control remains in the STOP state.
If, in the second section, (testing of run-up after switching on the mains voltage)
the STOZUS identifier is not set, but one of the other conditions is fulfilled, an au-
tomatic cold restart is executed; a warm restart of the control only occurs if none
of the mentioned conditions are fulfilled.
Overall reset with subsequent bootstrapping of the user memory (ORLOE = 1) is
always required
S If first setting up is instigated,
S Data loss has occurred by removing the PLC CPU or, in the case of power
failure, due to simultaneous battery voltage failure.
S After forced boot (SW 3 and higher)
If the mains voltage fails during active processing checks, the processing checks
are aborted by the programmer. The system initialization program instigates the
cold restart.

3.5.3 USTACK, detailed error coding
3.5.3 USTACK, detailed error coding

The operating system can detect malfunctioning of the central processor, errors in
the system program or effects of incorrect programming by the user.
If the interpreter comes across an error during command processing or if another
error occurs that cause a program interruption, the PLC enters the STOP loop.
A more precise analysis of the error can be obtained using the programmer or the
detailed error coding integrated into the control. The interrupt stack and the de-
tailed error coding are available for this, which are kept up-to-date in the Installa-
tion List up to SW4 and in the Diagnostics Guide for SW5 and higher.

3.5.5 Timeout analysis
3.5.5 Timeout analysis

A write access to the communication or local bus is executed by the bus interface.
The processor immediately receives an acknowledgement and continues. (Buffe-
red access to communication/local bus). If a timeout occurs during such an ac-
cess, the current state of the registers of the processor and coprocessor give no
information as to the cause of the timeout.
The user can switch off buffered accesses to the communication and local bus
(e.g. to test STEP 5 programs during the installation phase) via machine data
(PLC operating system MD bits 6049.0). These accesses are then slower be-
cause the processor only receives an acknowledgement when the whole bus cy-
cle has finished.
Machine data 6049.0 must be set in order to be able to determine the exact cause
of a timeout.
3.6 Procedure for error search after PLC stop
The table below describes the procedure for an error search in the PLC after

4.2 NC Service
For drive optimization and error diagnosis it is necessary to check the data trans-
mitted from the NC to the axes or spindles and from the axis or spindles to the
NC.
The following service data for axes are displayed:
S Following error in position control resolution (limit = 2 position control resolu-

tion units)
S Absolute actual value in position control resolution units

True position of the axes on the machine.
S Setpoint in position control resolution units

Default which has been determined by the control system on the basis of pro-
gramming or setpoint position entered manually.
Normally, setpoint and absolute actual value are identical. In standstill, the
difference (following error) can be compensated with the drift compensation.
S Abs. compensation value

Sum of IKA and temperature compensations.
S Speed setpoint in 0.01 % of the maximum speed

Digital value which has been determined by the control system (maximum
value see NC-MD 268*). This is converted into an analog value (0 V to 10 V)
on the measuring circuit module and output as speed setpoint to the drive.
S Partial actual value in position control resolution units

Pulses per interpolation clock sent by the measuring system (standard 16
ms).
S Partial setpoint in position control resolution units.

Partial setpoints per interpolation time sent by the interpolator to the position
control (standard 16 ms).
S Contour monitoring
The current contour deviation is displayed with this value (fluctuations of the
following error due to adjustments on the speed controller caused by settling
due to load changes).
S Synchronous run error

Deviation between leading axis and following axis.
S Parameter set position control.

4.2.2 Service data for the spindle

For optimization and error diagnosis, it is possible to display the current spindle
values.
S Speed set value (0.01%):
Digital voltage output from the NC on the measuring circuit.
S Speed set value (rev/min) Progr.:
Value entered by the user;
e.g.: Input S 1000 Display: Speed set value 1000 (rev/min)
S Current speed set value:
Currently effective correct-sign current speed set value with calculated over-
ride without speed limitation by setting data or MD.
S Actual speed value (rev/min):
The pulses sent by the spindle encoder are evaluated by the NC and dis-
played as speed in rev/min.
S Position set value:
The spindle position preset in degrees by the user is converted by the NC
intop the corresponding number of pulses,
e.g.: 0_ = 0
180_ = 2048
359_ = 4059
S Actual position value
The pulses sent by the spindle encoder are evaluated and displayed by the
NC.
S Following error:
Difference between position set value and actual position value. In standstill,
the following error is a measure for the position deviation with active M19. A
following error is also displayed in controlled operation.
S Error synchronism
Deviation between leading spindle and following spindle
S Override:
The position of the spindle override switch is displayed.

Introduction The user interface of the 840C control is divided into MACHINE, PARAMETERS,
PROGRAMMING, SERVICES, and DIAGNOSIS function areas. 1)
You can set up the operator system using a configuration file and a series of
other files. The files initially contain default values, but you can change these with
the ASCII editor in the MMC area DIAGNOSIS (the ASCII editor is described in
the Operator’s Guide).
The file system is made up of two branches, SIEMENS and USER. SIEMENS
contains the initial system settings which cannot be changed.
If the control does not find any data in the USER branch, it obtains its data from
the SIEMENS branch.
1) As from SW 3 also SIMULATION, as from SW 4 simulation is stored in the PROGRAMMING area.

4.4.1 Copying and editing PC data
Keyswitch
If the keyswitch is in position 3 when the system starts up, the control takes its
data from the SIEMENS branch. All user data are password protected.
A case where this is necessary is, for example, after a system failure if the confi-
guration files are wrongly parameterized.
Note This does no apply to the CONFIG file in the directory Master Control.
If the PLC is in the stop state, it cannot read the input image of the machine con-
trol panel. In this case, the position of the keyswitch is not evaluated on start-up.
Keyswitch position 3 is set internally on PLC stop.

Selection Pressing the softkeys DIAGNOSIS, START-UP and PC DATA will take you into
the basic display for PC data.
Fig. 4.11
The control is supplied with system data from the directories MASTER CON-
TROL and OPERATION:
The upper part of the basic display is the SIEMENS branch, containing the initial
system settings. This data is protected and cannot be changed.

4.4.2.3 Format for log masks

Note As from SW3, the alarms are configured in the ‘MELDATTR’ and ‘MELDTEXT’
files. For configuring notes, please refere to Interface, Part 1.
You can define which messages are to be entered in the log by specifying the
attributes of these messages and the limitations which apply to them. Each mes-
sage attribute is abbreviated to its initial letter (Number, Klasse = class), Type,
Priority). The limitations are specified using the characters ‘<’, ‘>’, ‘=’ and ‘–’.
Examples:
N > 1000 Messages with a number greater than 1000 are logged
P<5 Messages with a priority less than 5 are logged
P=0 Messages with a priority of 0 are logged
N50 – 100 Messages with a priority between 50 and 100 are logged.
A ‘PROTMASK’ line can comprise several such limitations, which are then inter-
preted as logically ANDed. If several ‘PROTMASK’ lines (up to 5) are specified
for one log they are logically ORed.
The values of type and class of a message are coded as follows:
Type of alarm Coding

Power-on alarm 0
Reset larm 1
Cancel alarm 2
PLC alarm 3
PLC message 4
NCK comment 5 1)
Class Coding
NCK 0
System / master control 1
Services 2
Diagnosis 3
Programming 4
User (OEM) 6
Table 4.1 Coding of message types and classes
1) Up to SW2

SINUMERIK 840C (IA)

01.99
09.95
For example, the interpretation of following configuration entry:

PROTMASK1 K = OT < 4
PROTMASK1 K > OP < 100
PROTMASK2 N1000 – 110000
All the NCK alarms with a message type smaller than 4 are entered in the alarm
log (i.e. power-on until PLC alarm) and all non-NCK messages with a priority
smaller than 100. All messages with numbers between 1000 and 110000 are
entered in the service log.
TFORMAT Format for times in the logs.
To define the format in which the times of message input and acknowledgement
are entered in the logs, a string of up to 20 characters is specified in the configu-
ration file.
The following patterns indicate the positions of time values:
S DD Day
S MM Month
S YY Year in two figures
S YYYY Year in four figures

S hh Hour
S mm Minute
S ss Second
For example, the pattern “DD.MM.YYYY – hh:mm.ss” generates times in the fol-
lowing format:
“17.05.1992 – 14:32.21”
and the pattern “hh:mm [MM/DD/YY]”:
“14:32 [05/17/92]”.
4.4.2.4 Reduce number of accesses to the hard disk (HD)

General The SINUMERIK 840C system software allows you to reduce the number of ac-
cesses to the hard disk (HD) of the MMC CPU. This helps to extend the service
life of the hard disk. The reduction of the number of accesses to the MMC CPU
hard disk is particularly advisable for machines with a high rate of vibration.
Most accesses to the hard disk (HD) of the MMC CPU occur in the automatic
mode and by entering alarms and messages into the alarm log 1 and log 2. The
entries in the alarm logs should, therefore, be reduced to a minimum.
Reduction of entries The following applies to system software up to version 6:
in the alarm logs You can assign the password PROTMASK1 and PROTMASK2 to the entries in
question in the configuration file CONFIG of the master control. These entries are
explained in section 4.4.2 ”Configuration file CONFIG” and in section 4.4.2.3
”Format for log masks”.
The following applies to system software as from SW 6 and higher:
The alarm logs are stored in their basic setting in the RAM and are written to the
hard disk (HD) of the MMC CPU through one of the following operator actions:
S Softkey function ”Save to disk”
S Display a log
S Redisplay a log

SINUMERIK 840C (IA)

01.99
09.95
You can reactivate the write enable function on the hard disk of the MMC CPU
making an entry to the configuration file of the master control CONFIG (PROT-
MODE DISK). This way you can provide for the same compatible behavior as is
applicable to systems with SW 6 and lower.
In addition, a cache has been built in for alarm descriptions (SW 6 and higher).
This reduces the read accesses to a minimum. The last 50 alarm occurrences
are listed in the default memory setting of this cache. The number can be preset
by entering the following command in the configuration file CONFIG:
MELDCACHE <n>
Be sure that a capacity of approx. 100 byte RAM is reserved for each item in the
cache.
Use the command MELDCACHE 0 to provide for the same compatible behavior
as is applicable to systems with SW 6 and lower.
4.4.3 BEDCONF configuration file

Description Various BEDCONF files are available.
The configuration data stored in the file BEDCONF parameterize the operator
system with the MMC areas to be managed and the globally set system charac-
teristics. These files are ASCII files and can be edited. To edit it, press “PC data”
in the MMC area DIAGNOSIS.
Caution
! Errors in this file can cause system failure!
Unassigned parameters must not be changed.

Note The parameters described below are to be found in different lines of file
BEDCONF depending on the software version.
BAPPL CLUTLIST The parameter BAPPL CLUTLIST defines whether a CLUT list is assigned to the
area in question. Enter a “1” to activate the CLUT list assigned to this area.
BSYSFONT The parameter BSYSFONT assigns a character set to the language which is set
in the KONFIG configuration file in the MASTER CONTROL area. The value 0 is
assigned to the European languages (Standard languages). The value 1 is assi-
gned to the Russian language (cyrillic character set). The value 2 is assigned to
the scandinavian languages (Hungarian).
With SW 4.4 and higher, the character set is defined by an entry in the configura-
tion file of the master control.
BSK_NOT_CENTER This parameter defines whether the softkey texts are to be output centered or
(as from SW 5.4) without any formatting. The default setting is centered. If the value is changed to
1, the centering is deactivated and the texts in the softkeys appear in the way
they have been configured.
BCOLORMONO_DEF The parameter BCOLORMONO_DEF defines whether the screen display is in
monochrome mode (enter MO) or in color mode (enter CO).
You can enter MO or CO here but be sure to enter the parameter in capital let-
ters.

SINUMERIK 840C (IA)

08.96
09.95
BPOSNEG_DEF The parameter BPOSNEG_DEF sets whether the screen display is to be in posi-
tive mode (enter PO) or in negative mode (enter NE).
You can enter PO or NE here but be sure to enter the parameter in capital letters.
Positive mode means black lettering on a white background and negative mode
means white lettering on a black background.
BSCREENSAVE The parameter BSCREENSAVE defines the time after which the screen saver of
the operator panel will darken the screen if no input has been made. The default
3600000 defines a time delay of two hours. The value must be positive,d a value
of 500 represents a delay of one second.
You can switch off the screen saver by placing the comment characters in front of
the value, (e.g. // a 1 7 0 3600000 ).
Note CLUT : Color Look-up Table

MO : Monochrome mode
CO : Color mode
PO : Positive mode
NE : NEGATIVE mode
Caution!
There is also a screen saver in the PLC (DB48).
BANZLINESMZ_DEF The parameter BANZLINESMZ_DEF

The number of lines in the message line, either one or two, is defined in
BANZLINESMZ_DEF.
The following values are permissible:
1: one-line message line
2: two-line message line
Values
i 1 2 15000 2 BANZLINESMZ_DEF
BAEFCOLOR_DFLT The ASCII editor is preset with the values. The value in BAEFCOLOR_DFLT de-
fines the foreground color. Values from 0 to 7 are permissible (see color look-up
table).
BAEBCOLOR_DFLT The parameter BAEBCOLOR_DFLT line 134 defines the background color. Va-
lues from 0 to 7 are permissible.
Values recommended for monochrome display:
CLUT POMOCLUT POCOCLUT NEMOCLUT NECOCLUT

Foreground
Line 133 5 0 7 7

The parameters below contain the preset values for block generation.
BEASATZNR_FLAG_ The BEASATZNR_FLAG_DFLT word specifies the selection;
DFLT block number YES parameter = 1 or block number NO parameter = 0.
BAESATZNR_STEP_ The value specified in BAESATZNR_STEP_DFLT defines the block
DFLT number steps.
BAESATZNR_START_ The starting address is specified in BAESATZNR_START_DFLT.
DFLT
These values can be changed temporarily in the ASCII editor. After power on,
however, the preset values are valid.
If an MMC CPU with 16 MB is used, the following line must be inserted in Bed-
conf file (in the user branch) unless it already exists:
l 1 2 16000 1 // Change to 1 only when MMC-CPU with 16 MB RAM LF
ICON 1–5 Three icon fields underneath the system clock are available for displaying the
icons. The first icon field is assigned to the MMC area. (Icon fields 2 and 3 are
assigned by the PLC, see Interface, Part 1).
Mutual exclusion of applications depending on the capacity of the main memory
Because the main memory capacity is not unlimited, some applications are mutu-
ally exclusive.
A “termination list” therefore exists for every application.
This list contains the applications that must be terminated to be able to start the
selected application.
Example:
The possible applications are defined by the following lines in the file BEDCONF:
a 2 5 3 ’MASCHIN’ ’PARAMET’ ’PROGRAM’ ’ANWENDE’ ’DIENSTE’ \

’DIAGNOS’ ’ANWENDE’ ’PROGSYS’ ’PLC’ ’PLC_DG’ \
’PLC_PR’ ’DG_PLC’ ’MDD’ ’IBN’ ’SIMULAT’ //BAPPLDH-
NAM
where MACHINE is the 0th application, PARAMETER the 1st, SIMULATION the
14th.
In the WOP and SIMULATION applications the mutual exclusion is defined by the
following lines from the BEDCONF file:
a 2 1 107 ’14’ ’11’ ’12’ ’13’ ’0’ \

’0’ ’0’ ’0’ ’0’ ’0’ \
’0’ ’0’ ’0’ ’0’ ’0’ //TermiWOP
a 2 1 114 ’7’ ’11’ ’12’ ’13’ ’0’ \

’0’ ’0’ ’0’ ’0’ ’0’ \
’0’ ’0’ ’0’ ’0’ ’0’ //TermiSimu-
lation
For simulation this means that if they are running, the following applications must
be terminated before it can be started:
7 PROGSYS (= WOP)
11 DG_PLC (= S5 programming)
12 MDD (= Machine data dialog)
13 IBN (= Drive servo start-up)

SINUMERIK 840C (IA)

09.95
With a main memory capacity of 16 MB the mutual exclusion of certain applica-

tions can be cancelled.
This is the case for the mutual exclusion of the optional applications WOP and
SIMULATION.
To cancel the exclusion of WOP, the following lines have already been inserted in
the BEDCONF file:
/ / a 2 1 107 ’11’ ’12’ ’13’ ’0’ ’0’ \
// ’0’ ’0’ ’0’ ’0’ ’0’ \
// ’0’ ’0’ ’0’ ’0’ ’0’ //TermiWOP
/ / a 2 1 114 ’11’ ’12’ ’13’ ’0’ ’0’ \

// ’0’ ’0’ ’0’ ’0’ ’0’ \
// ’0’ ’0’ ’0’ ’0’ ’0’ //TermiSimu-
lation
These lines are marked as comments by the characters // at the beginning of the
line and therefore have no effect.
To activate them, remove the comment characters and place them in front of the
three immediately preceding lines instead.
Because it is only possible to process the file in the user branch, the file BED-
CONF is copied there by Preset.

4.4.5 Color mapping lists
4.4.4 Color definition tables
4.4.4.1 10” color display (up to SW 4.4) 6FC5 103–0ABV2–0BA0

Introduction In the color definition tables, you can define the individual colors by mixing RGB
proportions. The operator system reserves a default color table for each of the
possible system settings in the BEDCONF file combining positive or negative
with color or monochrome mode. These default tables can be activated if this is
defined in the configuration file for the relevant area.
Naming The color tables are named according to the following rules: The last four letters
of the name of all the tables are CLUT; The two letters preceding those are the
code for color or monochrome mode (CO or MO) and the first two letters of the
name are the code for positive or negative display mode (PO or NE). There is
therefore always a set of four tables named: POCOCLUT, POMOCLUT, NECO-
CLUT and NEMOCLUT.
Color tables are ASCII files that can be edited with the editor. A color table con-
tains the definitions of 16 colors, each defined on a separate line. The example
below shows POCOCLUT with its default values. There are global CLUTs and
CLUTs. The global CLUTS are stored in the directory BASIC SETTINGS and the
area CLUTs are stored in the individual areas (MACHINE, SERVICES etc.). By
changing the data in the area CLUTs, you can assign a new color definition to an
individual MMC area (e.g. MACHINE or DIAGNOSIS).
Example Suppose we want to change the colors displayed in the MACHINE area. A zero
(Color and positive is entered in the configuration file BEDCONF (in the global area) to indicate that
display modes) no CLUT is defined for the area MACHINE in the “BAPPLCLUTLIST” (variable
a211). If we now enter a 2 (or any other value >0), we indicate that we want an
area CLUT to be used. If the same value has been entered at another point in the
BAPPLCLUTLIST, CLUT is not reloaded when the area is changed.

4.4.4.3 Defining individual color tables (as from SW 5.4)

Introduction As from SW 5.4, the user can define his own color tables (for example, for different
displays).
The names for the color tables (object type clut) of the applications are selectable;
however, some rules must be observed.
As a convention, the names of the individual color tables are formed by combining the
acronyms PO or NE (for positive/negative representation) and CO or MO (for color/
monochrome representation) followed by the designation CLUT; this convention is ex-
tended by the selection of acronyms for color/monochrome representation. It is now
possible to use not only the acronyms CO or MO, but also C0 to C9 (M0 to M9) and
CA to CZ (MA to MZ). It is allowed to add name extensions to the acronyms C and M
in the form of numbers 0 to 9 or letters A to Z (no special characters).
It is therefore possible to form color tables with the following names:
S POC[0–9, A–Z]CLUT
S POC[0–9, A–Z]CLUT
S POM[0–9, A–Z]CLUT
S NEM[0–9, A–Z]CLUT
The acronyms are stored as follows in the configuration file of the operator system:
a 1 5 1 MZ //BCOLORMONO_DEF
a 1 5 2 NE // BPOSNEG_DEF
Example 1 for entries in the configuration file:
The color table with the name POC1CLUT is loaded for the corresponding application
if it is available there, otherwise the color table POCOCLUT is taken as standard set-
ting.
Example 2 for entries in the configuration file:
The color table with the name NEMZCLUT is loaded for the corresponding application
if it is available there, otherwise the color table NEMOCLUT is taken as standard set-
ting.
Note
S When using the CLUT names, it must be observed that the corresponding file (e.g.
POC1CLUT) must be available both in the file tree under the catalog Operation/Ba-
sic settings and in the catalog Operation/Function area, with the term Function area
standing for the corresponding application, e.g. diagnosis or simulation.
S When selecting the acronyms, it must be observed that the numbers 0 to 9 and the
letter O are reserved for the system (Siemens).
S When naming the color tables, you must also take into account the names for the
icons. If necessary, the files moikone1 to moikone5 and modanger must be
changed to mzikone1 to mzikone5 and mzdanger.

Introduction The operator system works with symbolic colors represented by numbers within
the range 0 to 127. For example, the background of the softkey bars is in color
65. A real color (from the color table) is assigned to color 65 in a color mapping
list.
A color mapping list consists of 127 entries. The position of each entry in the list
corresponds to the number of a color. The value at that position is a reference to
the color definition table.
The mapping tables POCOLLI and NECOLLI are shown below (named according
to rules analogous to those of the definition tables).
You will find these files in directory Operation/Basic settings.
The parts of the display where the symbolic colors are used is defined in the ta-
ble for assigning picture elements to symbolic colors.

Example 1 Suppose we want to change the background color of the softkey bar. In the
(with color and table for assigning picture elements to symbolic colors, the symbolic
positive display modes) color code for the softkey bar background is the number 65. In the color mapping
list, a number 8 is entered at position 65. In the color definition table POCOCLUT,
number 8 stands for grey. If we replace the 8 in the color mapping list POCOLLI
by a number 1 the background of the softkey bar becomes red.
Example 2 Suppose we want to change the text color of the alarms. In the table for
(with color and assigning picture elements to symbolic colors, the symbolic color code
positive display modes) for the text color of alarms is the number 75. In the color mapping list, a number 1
is entered at position 75. In the color definition table POCOCLUT, number 1
stands for red. The standard color for alarms is therefore red. If we replace the 1
by a 4 the color of the text of alarms changes to yellow.

Notes The options Graphic Programming System Turning/Milling, DIN simulation, PG

software and special languages cannot be activated via the menu Start-up/Op-
tions.
This installation is always performed via menu item “Install MMC system” in the
BACK-UP menu (see Section 4.6, BACKUP with Valitek streamer).
If the system software is updated all of the above mentioned software options
must be reinstalled from magnetic tape.
4.6 BACKUP with Valitek streamer/PC link
The function BACKUP backs up all the data on the hard disk using a VALITEK
streamer/PC link, i.e. the system software (SIEMENS), the user software (e.g.
customer UMS), part programs and machine data are all stored on a magnetic
tape cartridge or external PC.
Up to SW 1 it is not possible to store any user data using the VALITEK streamer
(hardware option). With SW 2 and higher user data can be stored separately.
It is necessary to perform a BACKUP after every start-up, otherwise all data
would be lost if there were a fault on the MMC CPU! The choice of VALITEK
streamer or PC link can be made via the menu Set I/O device.
Caution!
The software for the BACKUP function is suitable for use
with the VALITEK streamer or PC link.
Caution! For Valitek streamers only!

Save system data and user data on separate cartridges
since backup overwrites any data already existing on the
cartridge.
Installation of the VALITEK streamer:

The VALITEK streamer can only be connected to the parallel interface (CEN-
TRONICS interface) of the MMC CPU with Siemens cable 6FC9 344–4XV. It is
not possible to connect another streamer because the software is only suitable
for the VALITEK streamer.
If you connect to the interface SERIAL1 or SERIAL2 in-

stead of the interface PARALLEL1, you will destroy the
MMC CPU!

5 Machine Data Dialog

(MDD – as from SW 3)
5.1 General remarks
Introduction The SINUMERIK 840C and Machine Data Dialog operation.

The Machine Data Dialog replaces the conventional method of entering machine
data via lists. Wherever possible, the machine data are represented in their real
units. Complicated relationships are represented and input via configuring
displays. The machine data are sorted into groups and are displayed together
with the MD no., text, value and unit. The logical procedure for entering the MD
(for example during initial startup) is to work through the menu lists from left to
right.
Example NC MD (procedure)
NC configuring data
↓
General NC MD –> Geometry/motion –> Channel MD –> etc.
In addition to entering machine data individually it is also possible to load
complete MD records and to save data that already exist. A data management
system has been implemented for organizing the different machine data records.
Machine data can be processed online (data sets in the machine) and offline
(machine data file).
You can select the Machine Data Dialog by pressing the softkeys Diagnosis/
Start-up/Machine data.
Machine data The Machine data area is found by pressing the Diagnosis and Start-up
(SW 3 and higher) softkeys. The machine data are divided up into the following areas:
S Machine configuration
S NC configuration and NC machine data
S PLC configuration and PLC machine data
S Drive configuration and drive machine data
S Cycle machine data
S IKA data (interpolation compensation with tables)
S User displays

Explanation The actual drive modules for the FDD and MSD motors are entered and activated
in this drive configuration display. The drive number is assigned the same num-
ber as the module slot and the modules are selected using the Select module
softkey. This configuration must then be backed up in the boot file with Accept
conf + NCKP0 softkey.
Note When selecting the module please ensure that the order no. taken from the
selection list and hardware coincide. Some order numbers are nearly identical.

Note Some of the machine data are parameter set dependent (see ”Selecting a dis-
played parameter number”).
5.4.3 Axis/spindle start-up for the digital drive (as from SW 3)

Note Two different drive installation versions exist:
S Installation for analog drives is performed as usual by setting parameters
and potentiometer in the drive (for a more detailed description see Section
Start-up Axis and Spindle).
S Digital drives are started-up by entering and installing the module and motor
type. The drive data are preset with standard data from the control by this
method.
See also Section 10.
Procedure The digital drives can be started up via the file functions by loading one of the
available TEA3 files or via standard start-up procedure with module and motor
selection.
The Flexible memory configuration function has been in-

troduced with SW 4. This means that during the first start-
up, the memory capacity and requirement are selected via
NC MD 60003 (memory for drive SW MSD) and NC MD
60004 (memory for drive SW FDD) by entering ”yes”. 194
Kbytes of memory are assigned to each function.
Standard start-up Select the Drive MD area via the Diagnosis/Start-up/Machine data softkeys. You
are now in the drive configuration screen. The order of the slots symbolizes the
arrangement of the FDD/MSD modules in the control cabinet:
First of all for SW 3, for example, you enter number 1 in the field Slot for
module selection. As a result, the display cursor jumps to the drive number
input field. Here you enter the Drive No. (e.g. No. 1). For SW 4 only the drive
number has to be entered. Now switch the drive from Passive to Active using
the Toggle key. Now select the current module type via the Select module
softkey. Acknowledge your selection with ok.
Note When selecting the module please ensure that the order no. taken from the
selection list and hardware coincide. Some order numbers are nearly identical.
For example, MSD module 45/60/76A:
Follow the procedure above to enter several modules. Enter a consecutive num-
ber for the drive number for the next module.
Please note: With SW 3 you must also select a slot no.

SINUMERIK 840C (IA)

Note Any number from 1 to 15 (up to SW 4, from SW 5, 1-30) in any order can be
used for the drive number.
Power-up is performed and the bus initialized using the softkey Accept conf +
NCKPO. The message Start-up necessary is also displayed, i.e. the individual
axes and spindles connected to the drive bus do not have a machine data record.
The motor is selected via the Diagnosis/Start-up/Machine data/Drive MD softkeys
and axis (FDD) or spindle (MSD) in the motor/PS data display. In the case of the
axis (FDD), the order number of the connected motor is selected via the Select
motor softkey.
When you have confirmed the selection with ok, the message Transfer from PC
to NC in progress appears. All the FDD machine data, and with SW 4 and hig-
her, all MSD machine data, have now received standard preset values.
For the spindle (MSD), two motors and the number of pulses per revolution must
be entered under the menu Select motor. Only when the number of pulses per
revolution has been confirmed with ok are the other machine data preset
(general reset) from the list (SW 3 only) stored for the spindle (MSD) for the
motor selected. If 2nd motor not available is selected when the second motor is
selected, the general reset for the second motor is executed with the previously
entered motor (default value). This also applies to SW 3 only. With SW 4, no ma-
chine data are preset if a 2nd motor is not available.
Now use the Recall key to call up the drive configuration display and then press
the softkey Accept all + NCKPO. The boot file on the hard disk is updated.
Note In SW 3 the MSD data are backed up in the FEPROM. As from SW 4, the boot
data records for the FDD and MSD are backed up on the NCK hard disk only.
After start-up the drives are ready for operation (LED has gone out on the
individual modules). A drive that has already been installed can be reinstalled by
deleting the boot data record (delete boot drives) using the file functions and then
pressing the softkey NCK Power On.
Start-up: Loading a Load the user data record configuration in the drive configuration display using
user data record the Load from disk and Area config file functions. Accept conf + NCKP0 starts
up and initializes the bus. The message Start-up necessary then appears. Now
load the drive data using the Load from disk and Area drives file functions.
Complete this step by pressing the Accept all + NCKP0 softkey. After executing
an NCK Power On you must enter the password again (SW 3 only).
The following conditions apply when entering drive machine data:
S The machine data are divided up into Power On and online data. The online
data are active immediately, whereas the Power On data are not activated
until a NCK Power On.
S The described start-up procedure (select motor, load standard data) can be
executed at any time.
S If the motor selection is executed for the spindle (MSD) after a successful
power-up (power-up status 5), the online active machine data are not
overwritten by the default values (SW 3 only).
Entering data for a If the spindle (MSD) is to be driven by an non-Siemens motor, i.e. the motor data
non-Siemens motor have to be altered, the machine data first have to be entered and then set to the
motor in question via Select motor (SW 3 only).
With SW 4, first the non-Siemens motor must be selected with Select motor,
then the corresponding machine data must be entered and start-up concluded
with the function Calculate controller data.

SINUMERIK 840C (IA)

On SW5 and higher, it is possible to enter non-Siemens motors for which only the
rating plate data of the motor is known and not the equivalent circuit diagram
data (motor data).
After you have pressed the softkey Non-Siemens motor 1 (Non-Siemens mo-
tor 2) and confirmed the query with the OK softkey the control enters code num-
ber 99 for non-Siemens motors. If you press the softkey of the selected
Non-Siemens motor 1 (Non-Siemens motor 2) again and confirm the query
with the OK softkey, the input form for rating plate data appears. After you have
entered the data and pressed the softkey Calculate eq. Ct. diag the equivalent
circuit diagram data (motor data) are calculated from the rating plate data. With
the function Calculate controller data, the controller data are calculated from
the equivalent circuit diagram data. An exact adaptation of the data to the ma-
chine requirements can then be made manually.
Data loss The configuration data drives and MD drives are changed in the non back-up
DRAM, i.e. the data are lost if the power supply fails.
Saving data Save the configuration and drive machine data to the boot file with the softkey
“Accept all” and NCKPO (NCK Power On).
The drive configuration and drive machine data must also be backed up to a user
file.
Boot file The boot file is stored on disk and contains only the drive and configuration ma-
chine data. When the control is switched on, the drives are automatically config-
ured with the data from the boot file and the MD transferred to the drive.

MD MD data MD functions
Explanation On the first level the file functions refer to all the machine data areas (Drives, NC,
PLC, Cycles, IKA). The data selector always displays the relevent files (TEA3,
TEA1, TEA2, TEA4, IKA1, IKA2, IKA3).
Notes When saving the cycles MD (TEA4), always make sure that the TEA4 file can
consist internally of up to 7 files. This is because the channel-dependent cycles
MD are saved in one file per channel, the central MD are stored in another file.
The channel number is added to the file name, i.e. the name of the file to be sto-
red is limited to 7 letters on the first level.
The steps required to load the files containing the drive data, “Accept config. +
NCKP0” and “Accept all + NCKP0”, are executed automatically. Such a file must
therefore always contain a complete drive file (configuration + drive).
When the drive files are being loaded the display jumps back to the basic display
(JOG) after the configuration has been automatically saved and NCK Power On.
The message “Start-up necessary – Power On” appears. The drive data are then
loaded and NCK – Power On is repeated. The message “Start-up necessary –
Power On” disappears.
When loading files on the first level, the message “Start-up necessary – Power
On” must not be acknowledged with “Power On” (switch on/switch off).
An NCK Reset must be executed when TEA3 data are loaded (drive machine
data) even if no drive exists.
Saving and loading NQEC data
The MDD functions “Save all” and “Load all” have been expanded to include the
NQEC data.

In the case of “Save all” the NQEC parameterization including the measured val-
ues from the NCK/servo are read out and stored in ASCII files under the selected
name.
In the case of “Load all”, the selected NQEC ASCII files are read in and stored as
boot files. A backup mechanism which is similar to that of TEA2-Load-all is imple-
mented which is able to recover the NQEC boot files automatically on a power
failure, emergency stop, if the hard disk is full or the abort key has been operated
etc.

5.9.8 Additional information when altering the configuration (as from

SW 3)
Notes If one of the 1-axis modules in the grouping is faulty and is to be replaced by a
2-axis module, it is possible that a display line for the 2nd axis does not exist in
the drive configuration display. You must therefore move the following modules
on by 1 slot. However, it is important that you keep the drive number. The advan-
tage of this is that you will not have to reload the motors. Confirm these settings
with the Accept conf + NCKP0 softkey.
It is very easy to remove a module from the grouping temporarily. Enter the num-
ber 0 for the drive number, i.e. the data for the deselected module are retained in
the boot file. Confirm this setting with the Accept conf + NCKP0 softkey.

5.10 Configuring the MDD
5.10 Configuring the MDD
5.10.1 Description
The MDD is configured with the list module (as from SW4). The texts in the
screens can be edited.
The data that are to be displayed in the screens have been configured.
As from SW 5, it is possible to print out the list module.
Introduction The list module is configured by means of 3 ASCII lists:
Data lists
For each list display, there is a data list in which the
S display title
S column width
S data to be displayed
are described.
Text lists
The text lists are organized language specifically. They contain one text for each
data and additional texts for headings, units etc.
Semantics list
For each item of data, this contains information on
S internal format
S display format
S input limits
S special treatment
Separate text and semantics lists exist for each machine data area (e.g. NC MD).
Help texts/info lists
The info lists are organized language specifically. They contain one text for each
data which can consist of several lines.
Explanation The list module looks in these lists for all information regarding display structure and
the data to be displayed and stores them in a compressed file (binary file). If this file
already exists it is accessed as soon as the list display is called up,
i.e., the ASCII lists are not used.
The list module first looks for the data lists in the user path. If it does not find
them here, it uses the data lists in the Siemens path.
If the data list exists in the user area the text and semantics lists are taken from
the user AND Siemens area.
If the data list only exists in the Siemens area the text and semantic lists are only
taken from the Siemens area.
If the keyswitch is in position 3, only the lists in the Siemens path are used. If
the password is not set the keyswitch is re-evaluated every time a display is
selected. The keyswitch position is ignored with “Set password”.
If you wish to display other data or use other texts or input limits, you can copy
the data lists from the Siemens path into the user path and edit them as
necessary.

SINUMERIK 840C (IA)

5.10.1 Description
The paths and file names and simple examples of file contents (configuring data)
are explained in the points below. Other configuration possibilities are given in
the lists in the control.
List module paths ASCII lists:
and files S Data lists (e.g.)
(e.g. TEA1 MD) SIEMENS list module/TEA1/LB data lists/nc11
User list module/TEA1/LB data lists/nc11
S Text lists (e.g.)

SIEMENS list module/TEA1/ENGLISH/tea1txt
User list module/TEA1/ENGLISH/tea1txt
S Semantic lists (e.g.)

SIEMENS list module/TEA1/LB-Semantics lists/tea1sem
User list module/TEA1/LB-Semantics lists/tea1sem
S Helptexts/infolists
SIEMENS list module/TEA3/ENGLISH/tea3help
User list module/TEA3/ENGLISH/tea3help
List contents: Data lists The data lists contain the data to be displayed in each display. The file names
are such that the contents of the lists can be recognized from the name.
Examples: nc 1 1. 103
1st softkey: Basic data (3rd level)

1st softkey: General NC MD
(2nd level)
NC MD (1st level)
an 5 6. 103
6th softkey: Status data (3rd level)

5th softkey: MSD (2nd level)
Drive data (1st level)
The file contents of 42.103, for example, are structured as follows:
TEA1 a 1 (bits 3, normal “N9 T36 V10 U10”,
headline “B40 S11 p2 L0”, path 42)
H421 Contains the intermediate heading (of file
tea1head.106 )
2400 Contains machine data (e.g. MD 240* becomes
MD 2400)
The header can be interpreted as follows:
TEA1 NC MD
a axis-specific
(n = normal, k = channel, s = spindle)
1 to file function “Edit”
linked, 0 = always on-line
“N9 T36 V10 U10” Column width for
Data number: 9
Text: 36
Word: 10
Unit: 10
path 42 Softkey path of display (stored in
file tea1...). It is evaluated when
“search” and “global” are selected.

5.10.2 Practical example for user adaptation list display
List contents: The texts for all data are stored in the text lists.
Text lists
Examples: 2040 “Exact stop limit coarse”
2080 “Exact stop limit fine”
5600.0 “No measuring circuit monitoring”
5600.2 “Rounding to whole/half degrees”
List contents: The data type (L = long, C = 8 bits, S = short, etc.) and the display format, any
Semantic lists special treatment and input limits are stored in the semantics lists.
Examples: Data Type Treatment Input limits
160 L 05
164 L 00 ! (write-protected)
168 L “0.0625 5.2 2” [ 2.32]
208 L 72 [ 1.99999999]
The information under “Treatment” is interpreted as follows:

00 1:1 - representation
05 bzw. 07 special treatment or.
-representation
“0.0625 5.2 2”
Unit no.
(the units are in text list tea1unit.106)
5 places, of which 2 are behind the decimal point
Factor for display
List contents: Info lists Explanations for all the data that appear in the information display (key ¼) can
be stored in the information lists.
Example: 2040 “This data is not active until Power On”.

Problem “PLC machine data 2007 is supplied with the text ”Number of assigned maga-
zine” and with input limits 0 to 4
The user wishes to change this text to the following:
“Number of assigned tool turret”
and the input limits to 1 to 99.

SINUMERIK 840C (IA)

Solution The following steps are necessary:
1. The file list of the display in which the data is to appear must be copied com-
pletely from the Siemens branch to the user branch (“Services” area) so that
the user semantics and user text lists are used.
Data 2007 is contained in display “PLC MD/Tool management/Magazine 1”

when supplied. Data list plc52.103 also belongs here.
Softkey DEFAULT under ”Diagnosis/Startup/PC data”.
2. Create new file

A new text list must be created in the user area under “Services”. This is done
by copying a text list from the Siemens area into the clipboard and giving it a
new name on execution of “Insert from clipboard”. This file is then edited and
the existing text is deleted.
File contents:
Only the following line is entered under the “Diagnosis” area:
2007 “Number of assigned tool turret”
All other information is then taken from the Siemens file.
3. A semantics list containing the altered input limits must be created in the user
branch.
File contents:
The following single line is enough:
2007 L 00 [ 1 , 99 ]
All other information is then taken from the Siemens file.
4. All the changes have now been made. When the display “PLC MD/Tool mana-
gement/Magazine 1” is next called up, the message “106001 List display
[User/TEA2/Data lists/plc52] is being generated...” will appear and the chan-
ges stored in a compressed binary file.
5. Subsequent changes could be any of the following:
a) Data lists already copied into the user branch are to be changed (e.g.
machine data sequence).
These changes are automatically observed the next time the display is
generated. Message “106001 List display [name] is being generated...”.
b) The characteristics of a data that appear in a display other than the one
already altered are to be changed.
The text required by the user is stored in a user text list and the input limits
required by the user are stored in a user semantics list.
In order to make these changes active, the data list of this additional
display must now be copied from the Siemens branch to the user branch.
Only then will the user characteristics of the data be observed. When the
display is next generated the message “106001 List display [name] is
being generated ...” appears.

SINUMERIK 840C (IA)

5.10.3 Configuring the parameter set switchover in the list display
c) The already altered characteristics of a data are to be changed again or

the characteristics of another data in the same display are to be changed.
If the data list of this display was already copied into the user branch
when the first change was made and if the data list was not changed
when the texts and input limits were changed again, these new changes to
the texts and input limits will not automatically be included.
In order to save time during display generation only one alteration to the
data list is automatically recognized (by the date in the file).
The changes made to the text or semantics list are accepted with the key
combination “@” and “!” (in the list display).
The message “106001 List display [name] is being generated ...” appears
and the display is generated again.
6. Please note:
The message “106001 List display [name] is being generated ...” may in some
cases be hidden by higher priority alarms, or be displayed for too short a time.
However, under Diagnosis/Service displays/Alarm log 1 it is possible to find
out whether the message has already been issued. It is thus possible in the
cases mentioned above to check whether an alteration has been included for
the display generation.

Introduction Three parameter set groups are supported by SW 4 and higher:
1) Parameter set position control (G1)

2) Parameter set speed ratio (G2)
3) Parameter set drive (G3)
For each of these groups exactly one parameter set is always selected for dis-
play in the list displays. This selection is valid for all displays, i.e. when the dis-
play is changed the selection remains valid and also applies to displays subse-
quently selected.
All three parameter set groups each have 8 parameter sets.
Displaying the data If all the parameter sets of a data are to be displayed one above the other, the
of all parameter sets usual procedure is followed:
The data numbers are displayed in a data list.
Example:
2040
15400
15440
15480
15520
15560
15600
15640
In the drive machine data list the parameter set number is displayed with a colon.
Example:
1500:1
1500:2
1500:3
1500:4
1500:5
1500:6
1500:7
1500:8

SINUMERIK 840C (IA)

for which the following short-hand notation can now be used (SW 4 and higher):
Example:
1500:1–8
By resorting it is possible to display in the usual way first all the data of the first
parameter set, then the data of the second parameter set, etc.
Example:
1407:1
1409:1
1500:1
...
1407:2
1409:2
1500:2
...
1407:3
1409:3
1500:3
...
Displaying the current A special function now makes it possible to display one data at
parameter set only a time, in each case that of the selected parameter set.
This function is used in the supplied system displays.
The individual data remain intrinsically independent, i.e. they can all have diffe-
rent texts and characteristics.
In order to apply this function, the data numbers in the data list are enclosed in
parentheses and a “G” is placed before the number of the parameter set group.
Example:
G1 ( 2040
15400
15440
15480
15520
15560
15600
15640 )
As a result, of these 8 data only the one belonging to the active parameter set of
the group “Position control” is displayed.
The arrangement (one above the other, next to one another) is irrelevant.
The abbreviated notation used in the past can be used in the brackets.
Example:
G3 ( 1500:1–8 )
Displaying the current Definition of term: The axis number, channel number, spindle number,
parameter set selection transformation block number, drive number, slot number, IKA relation number,
IKA curve number and IKA point number are all referred to below as “Parameter
number”.
Display of the current parameter set selection is configured in the same way as
the current parameter number in the headline of the data list using the command
“headline”.
Previously, it was possible to configure the parameter designation and the current
parameter number here. As from SW 4, the axis name can also be displayed.

SINUMERIK 840C (IA)

5.10.4 Printing the list module data (as from SW 5)
Example:
headline “S16 P3 N7”
This reserves 16 characters for the parameter name (e.g. the word “axis”), 3 cha-
racters for the current parameter number (e.g. axis number) and 7 characters for
the number of the current parameter (e.g. “C2”).
In the same way it is now possible to display the name of the parameter set
group and the current parameter set number in additional fields. The letters “S”
and “P” together with a length are added in the same way. They must be pre-
ceded, however by the relevant G number of the required parameter set group
(see above).
Example:
headline “G2 S30 P3”
The text “Parameter set ratio” “n” now appears on the screen, “n” representing
the current parameter set number.
If the above configurable information such as parameter number etc. are to ap-
pear without “G” with “S”, “P” and “N” after the parameter set information, they
must be introduced with “G0”.
Example
Parameter number: headline “S16 P3 N7”
Parameter set number: headline “G2 S30 P3”
Parameter number and parameter set number:
headline “S16 P3 N7 G2 S30 P3”
Parameter set number and parameter number:
headline “G2 S30 P3 G0 S16 P3 N7”
Selecting the It is possible to jump to the parameter set number in the same way as to the
parameter set parameter number using the key combination <shift> +<home> (shift key and left
diagonal up arrowkey – new as from SW 4).
Here, a number can be entered directly or the toggle key can be used to switch to
the next value.
The arrow keys can be used to jump between several input fields in the headline
(e.g. parameter number and parameter set number).
Note No guarantee can be given regarding future alterations and expansions to the
structure of the lists.
No liability can be accepted if the contents of the lists are altered.
Please refer to the OEM documentation for additional configuring information.
5.10.4 Printing the list module data (as from SW 5)

As from SW 5.1 it is possible to store the contents of a list module in a print file.
@P This function is triggered with @P in the appropriate list display. The entire list
display is stored, not only the section visible on the screen.
File name The print file is stored in the user branch in directory Start-up/Logs. The file name
is generated from the selected data area (TEA1, TEA2, ...) and a sequence num-
ber, e.g. TEA1_001.
Output in PC format These files can be output via Services “Print serial” or Data output (in PC format).

6.1.3 Configuring information

Two 1) mode groups and four 1) channels can be implemented on the SINUMERIK 840C. The
channels are allocated to the mode groups via machine data, i.e. the channels are subordinate
to the mode groups. The available axes are also allocated to the mode groups via machine
data.
Basically, each channel is comparable to a separate machine. Each channel can execute its
own program under PLC control. All channels allocated to one and the same mode group must
all be operated in the same mode, while channels assigned to different mode groups via
machine data can be operated in different modes simultaneously. However, a channel can only
be assigned to one mode group.
The axes are allocated to the channels in the part program rather than via machine data. This
means that an axis can operate in different channels within a mode group, but not
simultaneously.
In order to prevent collisions based on programming errors, it is possible to prohibit operation
of a particular axis in a specific channel (NC machine data). The operator can select the
various mode groups and channels via the operator panel keyboard. Each mode group must
be assigned at least one channel and one axis. Mode groups without spindles are allowed.
Gaps in the channels are not allowed.
A channel can traverse only the axes in the mode group assigned to it. An axis can be
traversed only in its assigned mode group. The warm restart function can be used to modify
the configuration (mode group assignments) without having to reapproach the reference points
(for a detailed description of the warm restart function, refer to Section Functional
Descriptions).

Note:
Up to SW 4: The limitation to max. 15 real axes or spindles (axes/spindles with servo
loops) for analog drives still applies.
SW 5 and higher: Up to 30 servo loops can be defined (611D).
Example: 30 axes or 24 axes plus 6 spindles/C axes
No fictitious axes can be defined in addition to the 30 "Axes".

Tasks performed by the master channel

Within a mode group, the channels are processed in ascending order. Internally, the first
channel of a mode group (the channel with the lowest number) assumes the role of master
channel.
If the signals
• mode group
• DRF
are specified in the master channel (DB 10 to DB 13) 1), they then also apply to all other
channels of this mode group.
Effects of Signal Reset:
Software version 1:
A reset command via the interface can only be defined in the master channel.
Effects of a reset command via the PLC in the master channel.
• Processing of all channels in this mode group is aborted.
• Any active channel and mode group specific reset alarms are acknowledged if the cause
of the alarm has been remedied.
Software version 2:
The function Channel Specific Reset is implemented with Software version 2 and higher.
This function makes it possible for the user to abort channel-specific processing via his PLC
user program without affecting processing in other channels in the mode group.
Mode group and DRF selection are still only possible in the master channel of the mode group.
Effects of a reset command via the PLC in a specific channel:
• Processing in the channel is aborted.
• Any active channel-specific reset alarms such as, for example, alarm 2062 ”Feedrate
missing” are acknowledged.
• Mode group specific reset alarms such as, for example, alarm 122* ”Software limit switch
approached” are not acknowledged.
All channels of the mode group must receive a reset command at the same time to make it
possible to acknowledge mode group specific reset alarms such as, for example, alarm 148*
”Zero speed monitoring”.
Note:
The channel-specific reset command should only be executed via the PLC user program in
AUTOMATIC mode.
In all other modes and with alarms that acknowledge operating mode ready, the reset
command should be given to all channels of the mode group.

One or two intermediate blocks are inserted for circle intersection (straight line/arc, arc/straight
line and arc/arc) with external contours with circle intersections and obtuse angles (90° <
< 180°) (see Programming Guide Section 10.4).
If the angle is nearly 180°, the paths to be traversed in the intermediate blocks become very
small and can cause a standstill in continuous path mode. The control can suppress the
intermediate blocks to prevent this. It either switches from ”TRC with intersection” to ”TRC
with transition circle” to avoid an intermediate block or it approaches the intersection of the
two blocks. In this case no intermediate block is generated.

Before switching over, the distance A to C is compared with machine data 6 (MD6). If the
distance from A to C is smaller than MD6, the intersection of the two blocks is traversed
(applies to all circle transitions with ”TRC with transition circle” G450 and ”TRC with
intersection” G451).
If the distance from A to C is smaller than 2 · MD6, the control switches from ”TRC with
intersection” G451 and transition arc/arc to ”TRC with transition circle” G450.
Caution:
When approaching the intersection of the two blocks the programmed arc(s) is (are)
increased. If the circle is enlarged to beyond 360°, only the section above 360° is traversed.
If there is no intersection or the intersection is located too far from the contour (> 1.5 . tool
radius), intermediate blocks are again inserted in the angular range 90° < <170° as
otherwise a major contour error may occur. In the angular range 170° < < 180° the normal
circular block is approached and movement is then continued. Only a slight contour error
occurs.
No intermediate block. The correct compensation is not

7 Circle end position monitoring next block
5 +0 32 000 units (IS)
Before a circular block is processed, the NC checks the "correctness" of the programmed
values by determining the difference between the radii for the starting and end positions. If the
difference exceeds the upper limit defined above, the block is not cleared for processing and
alarm 2048 (circle end position error) is displayed.
If the difference is less than but not equal to zero, the circle centre parameters are corrected,
as it is then assumed that the end position has been correctly programmed. The circle is then
traversed on the basis of the new centre point.

Normally, each tool offset has up to ten permanently allocated TO parameters. When required,
the user can upgrade the number of parameters to 32, and must allocate the added param-
eters (10 to 32) using the configuring terminal. The greater the number of TO parameters
allocated to a tool offset, the lower the number of tool offsets available to the user, as the
memory space available for tool offsets is limited.

156 OFF delay for servo enable Power On
200 0 1 000 ms
The enable signal for the speed controller (servo enable) on the measuring circuit is removed
when the programmed delay time has elapsed. There is a separate servo enable signal on the
measuring circuit for each axis; the control supplies these signals on a mode group basis.
The programmed delay time has the following effects:
1. Once the interpolator has reached the programmed position, the clamping tolerance
(MD 212*) is activated when the delay time has elapsed. The following error must therefore
be smaller than the clamping tolerance at this instant. The delay must be chosen so that it
is possible to reduce to zero the largest possible following error (rapid traverse). In the
event of an error, the servo enable signal is revoked on the measuring circuit and alarm
112* (zero-speed monitoring) activated.
This applies only when NC MD 372* (zero-speed monitoring delay) is 0.

The TO memory can be subdivided into as many as four TO areas for pallet changing or dual-
slide machines, the advantage being that the individual TO areas can be invoked for the
various channels over D-numbers D0 to Dx, i.e. the slides on a dual slide machine can
interchange programs, as both tool turrets can be referenced over D-numbers D0 to D8.
It may prove practical as a protective measure to prevent certain channels from accessing
specific TOs.
_______
* The lower limits only apply if the control is operated from a channel.

SINUMERIK 840C (IA)

The number of areas is specified in NC MD 210. The number of TO areas is limited to

between 1 and 4. One TO area is provided when a value of 0 is entered. If the specified value
exceeds 4, it is set to 4 internally and alarm 47 triggered.
The limits of the TO areas are defined by specifying the TO start numbers in NC MD 211 to
214. The last TO area extends from the last value specified in NC MD 211 - 214 to the
maximum tool offset number (observe NC MD 13 and 104x).
Caution!
A modification does not become effective until user memory is formatted. In "Overall Reset"

With the ”Dwell referred to an axis” (G24), a time corresponding to the machine data above is
compensated statically. This data is used to observe the internal execution times in the control.
If the value is 0, there is no deadtime compensation.
With dwell on absolute position (G90) the speed of the axis/spindle must not become
greater than Dmax, so that overtravel of the dwell position is recognized reliably.
If the speed is greater than or equal to Dmax, dwell is terminated in the next IPO cycle.

The coupled motion combinations (NC MD 5156 to 5182) determine how coupled axis
groupings are to perform (coupled motion in same direction /in opposite directions/...) and the
G functions with which they can be activated. All coupled-axis groupings are activated with
G151 ... G159. All the axes that have been declared as leading axes in the MD can be
programmed, even if they have been declared as coupled-motion axes in the grouping.
For coupled axis groupings the following must be observed (alarm 84 is issued if an error
occurs):
a. The axes in a coupled axis grouping must be in the same mode group.
b. The axes in a coupled axis grouping must have the same position control resolution and
display resolution.
c. The axes in a coupled axis grouping must be of the same axis type:

With the increasing number of functions in the SINUMERIK 840C, on certain machines a
series of recurring functions must be considered when writing part programs (e.g. functions
like ELG, IKA and emergency retraction; initial settings of machine data, G16 plane etc.).
To simplify the handling for the programmer in such cases, the NC can execute a program
start cycle (cycle with channel-specific default settings) immediately after the selected program
is started before the first block in this program is executed.
An end cycle (e.g. deselection of the preset functions) is executed at the end of the part
program M02/M17/M30 after the selected part program has been executed on the main
program level.
Features:
• Any functions programmed in the M02/M17/M30 are executed first.
• The program start and end cycles are only called on the main program level in
AUTOMATIC, MDA and TEACH-IN modes, but not in "extended overstore".
• No end cycle is called on a key reset.
• Single block, DEC single block, M00/01 also apply in the cycles.
• In the program start and end cycles, all functions can be programmed as previously. See
the Programmer's Guide.
• The program start and end cycles can be transferred as cycles during control start-up.
This activates a cycle disable.
• If the cycle set does not exist, alarm no. 2041 "Program not in memory" is triggered.

SINUMERIK 840C (IA)

• The function can also be switched off via the PLC (Program control, DB10-15, DR14, bit 3,
DL2, bit 3).
The channel-specific initial settings for ZO (G54 - G57) and TO (D number 0 - 819) after
POWER On are defined in NC MD 140* and 142*. With these values it is possible to determine
the state of the control (in terms of ZO and TO) after Power On.

40 +0 99 999 999 units (MS)
(as from SW 4.4)
The value defining the ”Coarse stop tolerance range ”can be higher than that defining the
”Fine stop tolerance range”. Consequently, a block change to the next machining block will be
initiated correspondingly sooner.
If this function is not required, it can be rendered ineffective by entering identical values in the
machine data locations for coarse exact stop and fine exact stop.
The coarse stop tolerance range is effective in the following cases:

• G00
• Block preceding G04
• Block preceding setting data
• Block ahead of which only auxiliary functions have been programmed
• Single block without G60/G09
• Jog
• Incremental feed
• End of program
Note:
The coarse stop tolerance range is not approached in continuous-path operation G64
(exception: G00 G64 coarse exact stop). There is no secondary error as a result of a large
number of consecutive positioning operations, as position control is not "deactivated" by the
stop tolerance range; instead, the second block is processed before the end position of the
first block is reached.
The current traversing path is now the remainder of block 1, block 2 and so on.
If the axis stops for an instant, e.g. because another axis is about to move or because there is
no axis movement in this program block, compensation is such that the following error is 0 and
the axis is precisely positioned. Also refer to NC MD 208* and 272*.

In continuous-path operation (G64), neither the coarse nor the fine exact stop tolerance range

Zero-speed monitoring POSITION
The NC monitors the position at zero speed (holding of position). If the zero-speed monitor is
timed out after the waiting time for the position monitor (NC MD 156/NC MD 372*) has
elapsed, alarm 112* is issued.
The following situations may occur:

a) If the interface controller revokes the servo enable signal for an axis, the NC can no longer
hold that axis in position. The interface controller must hold the axis in position itself by
means of clamping. However, the clamped axis may be forced out of position as a result
of mechanical forces.
b) The axis may be forced out of position as a result of major mechanical forces or faults in
the drive.
The value for zero-speed monitoring must be greater than the tolerance ranges for fine
stop and coarse stop.

The compensation value (amount of backlash) entered must be positive for positive backlash
and negative for negative backlash.
The control compensates the backlash specified in NC MD 220* (in all operating modes and in
all interpolation modes) each time the relevant axis changes its direction of travel.

A software limit switch may be used in addition to the customary range limit switch (hardware
limit switch). The operator enters the absolute position of the positive range limit for each axis.

SINUMERIK 840C (IA)

The software limit switches cannot fulfil their function correctly until the reference point has
been approached and NC MD 560 * 5 has been set to "1".
The software limit switches are always approached at the speed defined in NC MD 1 unless a
lower speed was selected in the current motion block. Deceleration to zero speed begins so
far ahead of the software limit switch that the limit switch is reached with absolute accuracy
but not overrun (in jog mode). The software limit switch can also be overrun under certain
conditions (see NC MD 1100*). (Traverse with handwheel, reference point approach mode)

Note
When axes are traversed with interpolation, all axes are shut down upon reaching the limit of
any one of the axes. Stopping without a contour violation, however, can be guaranteed only
when bit 7 of NC MD 5003 ("No deceleration at limit switch") is not set, i.e. when the
acceleration ramp is used for braking.
A second software limit switch position can be specified in a clockwise direction. The PLC
selects either software limit switch 1 or 2 on the basis of an interface signal (refer to Part 1 of
the Interface Description, DB32, DL m + 1, bit 1).
e. g. DB32 DL1 Bit 1 = 0 ..... 1st switch for 1st axis
Bit 1 = 1 ..... 2nd switch for 2nd axis
Example of application
Reduction of the permissible traversing range with a retracted tailstock.
