SINUMERIK 840D/840Di/810D Programming Guide Cycles (PGZ) – 11.02 Edition 0-9
Structure of the manual
The SINUMERIK documentation is organized in three
parts:
•General Documentation
•User Documentation
•Manufacturer/Service Documentation.
Target group
This documentation is intended for users of machine
tools. This publication provides detailed information
that the user requires for operating the SINUMERIK
810D and 840D controls.
Standard scope
This programming guide describes the standard
functions. Differences and additions implemented by
the machine-tool manufacturer are documented by
the machine manufacturer.
More detailed information about other publications
concerning SINUMERIK 810D and 840D and
publications that apply to all SINUMERIK controls
(e.g. Universal Interface, Measuring Cycles...) can
be obtained from your local Siemens branch office.
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.
Applicability
This Programming Guide is valid for the following
controls:
SINUMERIK 840D SW 6
SINUMERIK 840DE (export version) SW 6
SINUMERIK 840Di SW 2
SINUMERIK 840DiE (export version) SW 2

From 12.2001 onwards, higher-performance
versions of
•SINUMERIK 810D powerline and
•SINUMERIK 810DE powerline
will be available. For a list of the available powerline
modules, please refer to Section 1.1 of the
Hardware Description /PHC/.
Structure of descriptions
All cycles and program functions were laid out
according to the same structure, as far as possible
and practicable. The various levels of information
have been structured so that you can find the
information you are looking for quickly.
1. The function at a glance
If you need to look up a cycle that is rarely used or
the meaning of a parameter, you will see at a glance
how the function is programmed together with an
explanation of the cycles and parameters.
This information always appears at the beginning of
the page.
Note:
In order to keep the documentation succinct we have
not provided all the methods or representation of the
individual cycles and parameters that are possible in
the programming language. Cycles have been
programmed in the form in which they most
frequently arise on the shop floor.

The tool drills at the programmed spindle speed and
feedrate to the programmed final drilling depth.

Operating sequence
Position reached before the beginning of the
cycle:
The drilling position is the position in the two axes of
the selected plane.
The cycle implements the following motion
sequence:
• Approach of the reference plane brought forward
by the safety clearance with G0
• Travel to the final drilling depth at the feedrate
programmed in the calling program (G1)
• Retraction to retraction plane with G0

2. Detailed explanations
In the theoretical sections, you are provided with a
detailed description of the following:
What is the cycle used for?
What does the cycle do?
What is the sequence of operations?
What do the parameters do?
What else do you have to look out for?
The theoretical sections provide learning material for
the NC beginner. You should work through the
manual at least once to get an idea of the scope of
the functions and capability of your SINUMERIK
control.

Explanation of parameters
RFP and RTP
Generally, the reference plane (RFP) and the
retraction plane (RTP) have different values. In the
cycle it is assumed that the retraction plane lies in
front of the reference plane. The distance between
the retraction plane and the final drilling depth is
therefore greater than the distance between the
reference plane and the final drilling depth.
SDIS
The safety clearance (SDIS) refers to the reference
plane. which is brought forward by the safety
clearance. The direction in which the safety
clearance is active is automatically determined by
the cycle.
DP and DPR
The drilling depth can be defined either absolute
(DP) or relative (DPR) to the reference plane.
If it is entered as an absolute value, the value is
traversed directly in the cycle.

Additional notes
If a value is entered both for the DP and the DPR,
the final drilling depth is derived from the DPR. If the
DPR deviates from the absolute depth programmed
via the DP, the message "Depth: Corresponds to
value for relative depth" is output in the dialog line.
3. From theory to practice
The programming example shows you how to
include the cycles in an operating sequence.
An application example of almost all the cycles is
provided after the theoretical section.

If the values for the reference plane and the
retraction plane are identical, a relative depth must
not be programmed. The error message
61101 "Reference plane incorrectly defined" is
output and the cycle is not executed. This error
message is also output if the retraction plane lies
behind the reference plane, i.e. the distance to the
final drilling depth is smaller.
Programming example
Drilling_centering
You can use this program to make 3 holes using the
drilling cycle CYCLE81, whereby this cycle is called
with different parameter settings. The drilling axis is
always the Z axis.

Warning
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if
not avoided, could result in death or serious injury or
in substantial property damage.
Caution
Used with the safety alert symbol indicates a
potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
may result in minor or moderate injury or in property
damage.
Caution
Used without safety alert symbol indicates a
potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,

Principle
Your SIEMENS 810D and 840D have been designed
and constructed to the latest standards of
technology and recognized safety rules, standards
and regulations.
Additional equipment
The applications of SIEMENS controls can be
expanded by adding special additional devices,
equipment and expansion units supplied by
SIEMENS.
Personnel
Only authorized and reliable personnel who have
been trained in the use of the equipment may be
allowed to handle the control. Nobody without the
necessary training must be allowed to operate the
control, even temporarily.
The corresponding responsibilities of personnel
who set up, operate and maintain the equipment
must be clearly defined and adherence to these
responsibilities monitored.
Behavior
Before the control is started up, the personnel who
are to work on the control must be thoroughly
acquainted with the Operator's Guides. The
operating company is also responsible for
constantly monitoring the overall technical state of
the control (noticeable faults and damage, altered
service performance).
Servicing
Repairs must be carried out by personnel who are
specially trained and qualified in the relevant
technical subject according to the information
supplied in the service and maintenance guide. All
relevant safety regulations must be followed.

Note
The following is deemed to be improper usage and
exempts the manufacturer from any liability:
Any application which does not comply with the rules
for proper usage described above.
If the control is not in technically perfect condition
or is operated without due regard for safety
regulations and accident prevention instructions
given in the Instruction Manual.
If faults that might affect the safety of the equipment
are not rectified before the control is started up.
Any modification, bypassing or disabling of items
of equipment on the control that are required to
ensure fault-free operation, unlimited use and active
and passive safety.
Improper usage may result in unforeseen dangers
to:
•life and limb of personnel
•the control, machine and other assets of the
owner and the user.

1-18 SINUMERIK 840D/840Di/810D Programming Guide Cycles (PGZ) – 11.02 Edition
1.1 General information
The first section provides you with an overview of the
available cycles. The following sections describe the
general conditions that apply to all cycles regarding
•Programming the cycles and
•Operator guidance for calling the cycles.
1.2 Overview of cycles
Cycles are generally applicable technology
subroutines with which you can implement specific
machining processes such as tapping a thread or
milling a pocket. These cycles are adapted to
individual tasks by defining parameters.
The system provides you with various standard
cycles for the technologies
•Drilling
•Milling
•Turning.
