Safety information
These Operating Instructions contain information which you should observe to
ensure your own personal safety as well as to protect the product and connected
equipment. Notices referring to your personal safety are highlighted in the manual
by a safety alert symbol; notices referring to property damage do not have a safety
alert symbol. Depending on the hazard level, warnings are indicated in a
descending order as follows:
!
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 warning triangle) Indicates that minor personal injury may result if proper
precautions are not taken.
Caution
(Without warning triangle) Indicates that property damage may result if proper
precautions are not taken.
Attention
Indicates that an unwanted result or situation may result if the appropriate advice
is not taken into account.
In the event of a number of levels of danger prevailing simultaneously, the warning
corresponding to the highest level of danger is always used. A notice warning of
injury to persons with a warning symbol may also include a warning relating to
property damage.

FBDN1/1-12 Motion Control Information System DNC (FBDN) - 04/10 Edition
1.1 Product description
DNC is a software module in the Motion Control Information System (MCIS) from
SIEMENS.
MCIS comprises modular software solutions for the integration of CNC and
machine tools in the production system. This means that both state-of-the-art
SINUMERIK controllers* and older (CNC) machine tools, which do not support an
open network interface, can be integrated in an automation network. MCIS is,
therefore, the key to boosting productivity in your production processes.
