1 System Overview
1.2 System configuration
Axis expansion on
On the SINUMERIK 810D, the number of axes can be expanded to six axes,
810D including spindles.
There are two possibilities:
either
or
Axis expansion
The axis expansion plug-in units are used whenever no more than six measur-
plug-in unit ing channels are required for the SINUMERIK 810D. This plug-in unit is plugged
into a SIMODRIVE 611 power module. The axis expansion plug-in units are
designed for 1-axis and 2-axis power modules. The ribbon cables are part of the
plug-in unit.
Axis expansion
If the six measuring channels of the SINUMERIK 810D are insufficient,
control SIMODRIVE 611 controller plug-ins must be inserted into the SIMODRIVE 611
power modules to connect further measuring systems (connection via drive bus
plug-in unit
with drive bus terminator). If 611D control modules are used, it may be neces-
sary to connect the NCU terminal block to the free drive bus connector of the
611D control.
See Chapter 5, Axis expansion
Power modules
The CCU can control up to 6 axes onboard. For this purpose there is a new
expansion plug-in in addition to the existing axis expansion plug-in modules.
All power modules of the 611D series can be connected as external power
modules for axis expansion.
Combinations
As from SW 6.3, the limitation to six drives applies.
Expansion levels 1 to 6 can be achieved by many combinations. To operate the
spindle to the internal power module, connect it to the 24A/32A power module
(A1).
