Toolbox CD
The Toolbox CD for SINUMERIK 828D has the following content:
● PLC Programming Tool for Integrated PLC
● Commissioning software for SINAMICS S120
● PLC Library (example)
PLC Programming Tool for Integrated PLC
The following tool is available for programming the PLC: PLC Programming Tool for
Integrated PLC. The designation "Programming Tool" is used in the rest of this manual.
Commissioning software for SINAMICS S120
Until the SINAMICS S120 commissioning functionality is completely available via the user
interface, drive configuration and optimization is performed using the commissioning
software for SINAMICS S120. The PC is connected using the Ethernet interface on the front
of the SINUMERIK 828D.
Note
Ordering data
The ordering data for the following tools can be found in Catalogs NC 82 and NC 62.
SINUMERIK Integrate Access MyMachine /P2P
Access MyMachine /P2P (previously: RCS Commander) is a tool that allows the
commissioning engineer to exchange files between the PC and the control very easily using
drag and drop.
For data transmission, the PC is connected directly to the Ethernet interface on the front of
the control. For a point-to-point connection, time-consuming parameterization of the Ethernet
interface is not necessary. All settings are made automatically by Access MyMachine /P2P.
Several NCUs can be accessed in sequence via a company network with
Access MyMachine /P2P.
The designation "Access MyMachine" is used in the rest of this manual.

NOTICE
Replacement of the system CompactFlash card between different PPUs
Because of the system-related dependency between the CompactFlash card and SRAM for
the data storage in the SINUMERIK 828D, the system CompactFlash card should be
considered as a permanently installed EEPROM and should not be replaced!
If this has to be performed for imperative reasons, the replacement of the system
CompactFlash card is detected during startup because of the stored serial number.
The reaction of the control is the loading of saved during startup (backup was performed
previously with "Save data" softkey). If no stored data is found, a startup is performed
automatically with the "NCK default data".

Checking the hardware
For the PPU 24x.2 hardware a distinction is made between the turning version BASIC T and
the milling version BASIC M :
This distinction is made when booting using the MLFB found in the hardware information
block, which is then compared with the existing NCK scaling. The following message is
output if software that is not suitable for this hardware is found:
Empty RTC capacitor
If the RTC capacitor is discharged, the following message is issued during startup:
You can then reset the date and time:
The capacitor is then charged again when the control is switched on during startup.

1.5 Communication with the control
Creating the connection
An Ethernet cable is needed to connect the control and PG/PC. The following Ethernet
interfaces are available on the control:
● Connection via X127 (behind the flap on the front):
Cable type: Crossed Ethernet cable
At interface X127, the control is preset as a DHCP server, delivering the IP
address192.168.215.1 for a direct connection (peer-to-peer connection).
● Connection via X130 (at the back):
Cable type: Uncrossed Ethernet cable
The interface X130 is the connection to the company network. The IP address that the
PG/PC receives here as a DHCP client is determined by the DHCP server from the
company network or fixed IP address is entered manually.
1.5.1 How to communicate with the control using the Programming Tool
