General information

In order to operate handwheels of a SINUMERIK control system, they have to be
parameterized via NC machine data.
If the handwheels are not directly connected to the control, additional measures are required,
e.g. connection via PROFIBUS- or Ethernet-MCP or handwheel module, inserting and
configuring the module with SIMATIC STEP 7, HW-Config.
Note
Currently only six handwheels can be parameterized in a SINUMERIK control system.
Connection options
Handwheels can be connected via the following components:
● Ethernet (Page 725) module
Note
Several handwheels, which are connected via different components, can be connected to one
SINUMERIK at the same time.
