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.
Prescribed Usage
Note the following:
Warning

Introduction 1
1.1 Commissioning manuals for SINUMERIK 840D sl
Introduction
The commissioning manuals for SINUMERIK 840D sl are divided into:
•CNC: NCK, PLC, drive
•CNC: Base software and HMI-embedded
•CNC: ShopMill
•CNC: ShopTurn
Basic steps for commissioning SINUMERIK 840D sl
Commissioning a SINUMERIK 840D sl is performed in 2 basic steps:
1. Step 1 (described in CNC: NCK, PLC, drive)
– PLC commissioning
– Drive commissioning
– NCK commissioning
2. Step 2 (described in CNC: Base software and HMI-Embedded, CNC: ShopMill, CNC:
ShopTurn)

commissioning
Introduction
In principle, an NCU 7x0 contains the following components:
•HMI
•NCK
•PLC
•Drive
•CP
The HMI contained in the NCU is designated as internal HMI or as
HMI-Embedded/ShopMill/ShopTurn/HMI sI.
In addition, a PCU 50.3 can be connected to each NCU, on which the HMI-Advanced then
runs (additional optional ShopMill/ShopTurn, HMI sl). This HMI is then designated as
external HMI.
For commissioning, the HMI Advanced Software is required or the commissioning tool
derived from it.
For the commissioning of the PLC, a PG/PC with
SIMATIC STEP7 Version 5.3 Service Pack 3 is required.
In order to connect multiple communication partners to socket X120, a network switch or hub
(e.g. DMC20) is required.
Commissioning components for internal HMI's
Commissioning of an internal HMI requires a PG/PC. This PG/PC is connected via Ethernet
to socket X120.
The internal HMI displays its user interface via TCU (Thin Client Unit), which is connected
via the Ethernet machine control panel (e.g. MCP 310) to socket X120.
Commissioning components for external HMI's
External HMIs are connected to socket X120.
A PC/PG is required for commissioning of the PLC of the external HMI. This PG/PC is
connected via Ethernet to socket X127.
Note
To use the external HMI (PCU 50.3) without TCU, the internal HMI must be switched off.

1.3 Initial commissioning procedure
Introduction
The mechanical and electrical installation of the system must be completed. At the start of
installation and start-up, it is important for the control and its components to run-up properly
and essential that the system complies with the application EMC Guidelines.
Commissioning steps
The steps required for installation and start-up are described below. The order is
recommended but not mandatory:
1. Checking the SINUMERIK 840D sl boot
2. Making a communication connection to the PLC
3. PLC installation and start-up
4. Commissioning SINAMICS drives
5. Commissioning communication NCK<->Drive
6. NCK commissioning
– Assigning NCK machine data for communication
– Scaling machine data
– Parameterizing axis data
– Parameterizing spindle data
– Parameterizing the measuring systems
7. Drive Optimization
Note
For a drive unit with an NX module, observe the information in Section "Commissioning
NX <-> drive".
