General remarks

Introduction The SINUMERIK 840C and Machine Data Dialog operation.
The Machine Data Dialog replaces the conventional method of entering machine
data via lists. Wherever possible, the machine data are represented in their real
units. Complicated relationships are represented and input via configuring
displays. The machine data are sorted into groups and are displayed together
with the MD no., text, value and unit. The logical procedure for entering the MD
(for example during initial startup) is to work through the menu lists from left to
right.
Example NC MD (procedure)
NC configuring data
General NC MD –> Geometry/motion –> Channel MD –> etc.
In addition to entering machine data individually it is also possible to load
complete MD records and to save data that already exist. A data management
system has been implemented for organizing the different machine data records.
Machine data can be processed online (data sets in the machine) and offline
(machine data file).
You can select the Machine Data Dialog by pressing the softkeys Diagnosis/
Start-up/Machine data.
