Warning notice system
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
indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken.
NOTICE
indicates that property damage can result if proper precautions are not taken.
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 product/system described in this documentation may be operated only by
personnel qualified
for the specific
task in accordance with the relevant documentation, in particular its warning notices and safety instructions.

Target group
This documentation is intended for commissioning personnel.
The plant or system is readily assembled and wired. For the
following steps, e.g. configuring the individual components,
the Commissioning Manual contains all necessary information or at least references.
Benefits
The intended target group can use the Commissioning Manual to test and commission the
system or the plant correctly and safely.
Utilization phase: Setup and commissioning phase
Standard scope
This documentation only describes the functionality of the standard version. Additions or
revisions made by the machine manufacturer are documented by the machine manufacturer.
Other functions not described in this documentation might be executable in the control. This
does not, however, represent an obligation to supply such functions with a new control or
when servicing.
For the sake of simplicity, this documentation does not contain all detailed information about
all types of the product and cannot cover every conceivable case of installation, operation, or
maintenance.

CompactFlash Cards
●Do not remove the memory card while it is being accessed. This can lead to damage of
the memory card and the SINUMERIK as well as the data on the memory card.
●Insert the memory card carefully and the right way round into the memory card slot
(observe indicators such as arrow or similar). This way you avoid mechanical damage to
the memory card or the device.
●Only use memory cards that have been approved by Siemens for use with SINUMERIK.
Even though SINUMERIK follows general industry standards for memory cards, it is
possible that memory cards from some manufacturers will not function perfectly in this
device or are not completely compatible with it (you can obtain information on
compatibility from the memory card manufacturer or supplier).
●For further information on handling CompactFlash cards, please refer to the NCU
manuals.
