Siemens 6FC5373-0AA30-0AB0

Features

SINUMERIK 840D sl is an integrated digital system that offers maximum performance and flexibility for complex multi-axis systems. It is a complete system that is integrated into the SINAMICS S120 drive system and supplemented by the SIMATIC S7-300 automation system, making it ideal for the mid-sized and large power range. This system provides uniform openness from operation up to the NC core, ensuring optimum integration into networks. Additionally, it has a uniform structure in terms of operation, programming, and visualization, making it easy to use. Safety is a top priority, and the system includes integrated safety functions for both the operator and the machine. To support production, it offers operating and programming software such as ShopMill or ShopTurn, as well as Motion Control Information System Products (MCIS-Products).

Application

The SINUMERIK 840D sl has a broad range of applications and can be utilized globally in various industries. It is ideal for use in tool and mold making, high-speed cutting operations, processing of wood and glass, handling operations, transfer lines, and rotary indexing machines, and in both mass production and JobShop production environments. Its versatility and advanced features make it a sought-after solution for many industries.

System configuration

The Numerical Control Unit (NCU) integrates various functions including NCK, HMI, PLC, closed-loop control, and communication tasks into a single unit. This integration allows for efficient and streamlined control of the manufacturing process, making it easier to manage and monitor. The NCU provides a comprehensive solution for numerical control and communication tasks, making it an essential component of modern manufacturing systems.

The control unit of the SINUMERIK system is highly customizable and flexible, allowing for the attachment of various components to meet the needs of a particular application. Some of the components that can be attached to the control unit include the SINUMERIK operator panel front with TCU/PCU 50.3 and machine control panel/pushbutton panel, the SIMATIC CE panel, handheld units, and SIMATIC S7-300 I/O. Communication with other devices is possible through the PROFIBUS-DP connection for distributed PLC I/O. For programming purposes, a programming device can be attached. The control unit is also compatible with the SINAMICS 120 drive system and a range of motors including 1FK/1FT/1FN/1FW6/1PH/1FE1/2SP1/1LA. This compatibility and the ability to attach various components make the SINUMERIK control unit a highly adaptable solution for manufacturing and automation applications.

The SINUMERIK NCU system has a wide range of applications and can handle various levels of performance requirements. The NCU 710 can accommodate up to 6 axes, while the NCU 720/730 can increase the number of axes to 31 or increase the performance of the drive controller by using the NX10/15 module. It is possible to expand the NCU 720/730 by up to 6 NX10/15 modules, providing additional performance and support for more axes. For applications that require even more axes and channels, such as rotary indexing or multispindle machines, the control units can be combined and significantly extended through the use of the CBE 30 option module (available soon). The NCU 730 is recommended for applications that require maximum dynamics and accuracy, such as in mold-making or high-speed cutting operations.
