Preliminary Remarks
Notes for the reader
The SINUMERIK documentation is organized in three parts:
•
User documentation
•
Manufacturer documentation and
•
Service documentation
This documentation/User's Guide has been written for machine tool users.
This publication provides detailed information required by the user for operating and
programming the SINUMERIK 810M Basic Version 3 control.
This User's Guide comprises two distinct parts:
•
Part 1 : Operating
•
Part 2 : Programming

•
Operating sequences
•
Data interfaces and interfacing to the machine
•
Diagnostics and maintenance
It is not possible to include in this User's Guide any details relating to an additional operator
panel provided by the machine tool manufacturer.
Programming
Part 2 of the User's Guide describes the programming possibilities which are currently
available for the SINUMERIK 810M Basic Version 3.
The information required in order to execute the designed operations, such as:
•
Workpiece dimensions
•
Choice of tool
•
Traverse path of tool and axis slides
•
Sequence of machining operations
•
Rotational speeds
•
Feedrates
is put in the required sequence by the programming which also translates them into a
language understood by the SINUMERIK 810M Basic Version 3.
