Dnc Hmi - Siemens Sinumerik 840D sl Function Manual

DNC Plant/DNC Cell (FBDN1)
1 Introduction
Station PCs
The machine servers and a user interface for transferring the NC data run on the
station PCs.
Networking
The following can be networked with DNC Plant:

Any number of serial CNC machine tools

via station PCs (up to 16 connected to one station PC)

via a serial/Ethernet interface converter (so-called COM server) with
DNC IFC Serial

Programming systems

Tool setting devices

Any number of SINUMERIK* controllers with DNC IFC SINUMERIK
(transmission protocol: TCP/IP) via direct connection.

PCs with DNC HMI as operator stations of DNC Plant.

Any Ethernet-capable CNC machine tools that can be supplied with NC data
via a Windows file system
Additional expansion options
MCIS DNC can be combined and expanded with additional MCIS modules.
The shared database is extended here to include module-specific components.
Existing, shared components, such as user administration and the machine nodes,
are detected when additional modules are added.

1.2.2 DNC HMI

With DNC HMI, you can extend DNC Plant to include additional operator stations
for managing NC programs. DNC HMI is used on Windows PCs, for example, in
production planning and production. Serial machines cannot be connected to these
PCs, however.
1.2.3 DNC on terminal server
DNC Plant can also be installed on a Windows terminal server instead on "real"
installations on Windows PCs. All the PCs connected then access the server via a
terminal server session and activate their respective DNC instances assigned for
their terminal server client (e.g. DNC HMI, DNC station or DNC tool setting device).
