Safety Guidelines
Safety Guidelines
This manual contains notices you have to observe in order to ensure your personal safety, as well as to prevent
damage to property. The notices referring to your personal safety are highlighted in the manual by a safety alert
symbol, notices referring only to property damage have no safety alert symbol. These notices shown below are
graded according to the degree of danger.
DANGER
indicates that death or severe personal injury will result if proper precautions are not taken.
WARNING
indicates that death or severe personal injury may result if proper precautions are not taken.
CAUTION
with a safety alert symbol, indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken.
CAUTION
without a safety alert symbol, indicates that property damage can result if proper precautions are not taken.
NOTICE
indicates that an unintended result or situation can occur if the corresponding information is not taken into
account.
If more than one degree of danger is present, the warning notice representing the highest degree of danger will
be used. A notice warning of injury to persons with a safety alert symbol may also include a warning relating to
property damage.
Qualified Personnel
The device/system may only be set up and used in conjunction with this documentation. Commissioning and
operation of a device/system may only be performed by qualified personnel. Within the context of the safety notes
in this documentation qualified persons are defined as persons who are authorized to commission, ground and
label devices, systems and circuits in accordance with established safety practices and standards.

Introduction
The display (screen) and operation (e.g. hardkeys and softkeys) of the HMI sI user interface
occurs via the panel front.
In this example, the operator OP 010 panel front is used to illustrate the components that are
available for operating the controller and machine tool.

The machine tool can be equipped with a machine control panel by Siemens or with a
specific machine control panel from the machine manufacturer.
You use the machine control panel to initiate actions on the machine tool such as traversing
an axis or starting the machining of a workpiece.
1.3.2 Controls on the machine control panel
In this example, the MCP 483C IE machine control panel is used to illustrate the operator
controls and displays of a Siemens machine control panel.

EMERGENCY STOP button
Activate the button in situations where
•life is at risk.
•there is the danger of a machine or workpiece being damaged.
(1)
All drives will be stopped with the greatest possible braking torque.
Machine manufacturer
For additional responses to pressing the Emergency Stop button, please
refer to the machine manufacturer's instructions.

1.4.2 Status display
The status display includes the most important information about the current machine status
and the status of the NCK. It also shows alarms as well as NC and PLC messages.
Depending on your operating area, the status display is made up of several lines:
● Large status display
The status display is made up of three lines in the "Machine" operating area.
● Small status display
In the "Parameter", "Program", "Program Manager", "Diagnosis" and "Start-up" operating
areas, the status display consists of the first line from the large display.
