– SIMODRIVE POSMO CD/CA
– SIMODRIVE POSMO SI distributed servo drive
– SIMODRIVE POSMO A (not suitable for interpolatory procedures)
Note
SINAMICS S120 and SIMODRIVE drives cannot be operated in parallel on a
SINUMERIK 840Di sl.
To operate drives with an analog setpoint interface via PROFIBUS, the following
interface module is available:
– ADI4 (Analog Drives Interface for 4 Axes).
For use as distributed I/Os, the module range SIMATIC DP ET 200 (for connec-
tion conditions, see SIMATIC documentation) and the I/O module PP 72/48 are
available.
You can select one of the operator panel fronts from the SINUMERIK range
(OP 010, OP 010C, OP 010S, OP 012, OP 012T, OP 015, OP 015A, TP 015A)
as an operator component.
A TCU (Thin Client Unit) permits distributed connection of an operator panel to
the PCU. The TCU and PCU communicate via the Ethernet.
The SINUMERIK 840Di sl is based on the following software components:
SINUMERIK 840Di sl runs on the Windows XP ProEmbSys operating system
with Service Pack 2.
Windows XP is the platform on which all applications, such as the individual
user interfaces of the HMI modular system and the commissioning tools run.
As is generally known, Windows XP does not have full real–time capability.
We call this soft real time. So SIEMENS has developed a procedure that allows
operation of NC system software in hard real time without making it necessary
to modify Windows XP (see Subsection 1.1.5, Page 1-26).
The NC system software mostly has the same functionality as the SINUMERIK
840D. It comprises both simple Motion Control processes (positioning and linear
interpolation) and complex automation tasks of the type found on machining
centers, handling and mounting, machine tools, and machine tool–related
applications.
