Legal information
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
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 product/system described in this documentation may be operated only by personnel qualified for the specific
task in accordance with the relevant documentation for the specific task, in particular its warning notices and

Introduction 1
1.1 Product overview
The SINUMERIK controller is a CNC (Computerized Numerical Controller) for machine tools.
You can use the CNC to implement the following basic functions in conjunction with a
machine tool:
● Creation and adaptation of part programs
● Execution of part programs
● Manual control
● Access to internal and external data media
● Editing of data for programs
● Management of tools, zero points and further user data required in programs
● Diagnostics of controller and machine
Operating areas
The basic functions are grouped in the following operating areas in the controller:

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