Preface
Structure of the documentation
The SINUMERIK documentation is organized in 3 parts:
• General documentation
• User documentation
• Manufacturer/service documentation
Audience
This document is designed for machine tool users. The document describes in detail all the
technical facts an operator needs to understand how to program the SINUMERIK
840D/810D control systems.
Standard scope
This Programming Guide describes the functionality afforded by standard functions.
Extensions or changes made by the machine tool manufacturer are documented by the
machine tool manufacturer.
Please contact your local Siemens office for more detailed information about other
SINUMERIK 840D/810D publications and publications that apply to all SINUMERIK controls
(e.g., universal interface, measuring cycles, etc.).
Other functions not described in this documentation might be executable in the control. This
does not, however, represent an obligation to supply such functions with a new control or
when servicing.
Validity
This Programming Guide applies to the following controls:
SINUMERIK 840D powerline
SINUMERIK 840DE powerline (export version)
SINUMERIK 840Di
