Page 13: Overview
The operator interface (monitor displays, keyboard) is the connecting element between operator action and the machine. This Operator’s Guide describes only functions which are within the standard scope of supply of Siemens. The machine manufacturer can also configure functions and monitor displays and he can connect his own keyboard.
Page 14: Design Of The Control
MMC=PC A PC has been integrated in the SINUMERIK 840C CNC for MMC (Man Machine Communication). In addition to data management tasks, this PC performs functions related mainly to the transfer and visualization of data exchanged between the NCK, PLC, MMC and operator.
Page 15: Switching The Control On And Off
MMC into the NCK memory. The machine manufacturer can configure which individual data are to be transferred. Both the Siemens and user cycles can be loaded in this way. A cycle disable feature provides protection against unauthorized reading and editing of data both in the NCK memory and on the MMC side.
Page 16: Exit
01.99 1 Introduction - SINUMERIK 840C and its Operation Machine manufacturer Via machine data the machine manufacturer can configure whether, after restart of the control, the workpiece last active is to be loaded again when the control is switched on. However, before switching off the control a workpiece must have been loaded and selected.
Page 17: Structure Of The User Interface
1 Introduction - SINUMERIK 840C and its Operation 01.99 Structure of the user interface The SINUMERIK 840C is a CNC control with an MMC based on the MS MS-Windows Windows operating system. You will therefore find on the screen the same familiar elements that you have encountered when working with other MS- Windows applications.
Page 18: Nck And Mmc Areas
01.99 1 Introduction - SINUMERIK 840C and its Operation NCK and MMC areas Most of the individual user areas on the SINUMERIK 840C are in two main groups: • NCK areas • MMC areas The operating principle differs slightly for each of the groups. While the SYSTEM 800 operating principle is used in the NCK, the user interface in the MMC areas is oriented to the MS-Windows operating system.
Page 19 1 Introduction - SINUMERIK 840C and its Operation 01.99 The following list provides an overview of all the NCK areas: • Machine • Parameters • Programming Edit NC • Diagnosis PLC Status NC Service NC/PLC Startup Machine Data • Information...

A red arrow in the extreme left softkey window indicates a return to the next higher level: With the ETC key, you can expand the softkey menu if an extension is available.
Page 21 These areas provide the user with information on data in the MMC. The mode is not displayed in the MMC areas. MS-Windows The user interface in these areas of the SINUMERIK 840C is based on MS- WINDOWS. You will probably be familiar with the windowing technology used here.

Page 24: Data Backup
Data backup Note The SINUMERIK 840C allows the storage of large volumes of data on the hard disk. Siemens recommends you strongly to keep a copy of all relevant data on an external data device (such as a programming unit or PC, etc.), as the data can be irrecoverably lost in the event of a hard disk failure.

3 MMC Applications 01.99 Introduction Before you start working with the SINUMERIK 840C you should be familiar with some of the basic elements of MS-WINDOWS and its operation. The control can be operated using 3 different keyboards. The operator panel keyboard and an MF2 keyboard (full keyboard) can be connected to the keyboard interface or the slimline operator panel.

Page 58 01.99 3 MMC Applications Note Standard Siemens applications have no control menu and no minimize/ maximize buttons. The size and position of an application can therefore only be altered by the machine manufacturer, not the user. The windows in standard MS-Windows applications such as the File Manager or Control Panel also contain further elements.
Page 59: Operations With Windows
The Task Manager of the SINUMERIK 840C Applications in MS-Windows are normally started from the Program Manager. On the SINUMERIK 840C, the Area Switchover performs this task. However, when the Area Switchover is used to select an application that is already running in the background, it simply brings that application into the foreground instead of starting a second instance.

Page 61: Working With Menus
The menu bar can contain the names of either menus to open or commands to execute. Note On the SINUMERIK 840C, the items in the menu bar are also displayed on the softkeys. The menus can be opened in various ways: Fig. 3-4 Menu items within Area Switchover •...

Page 63: Working With Dialog Boxes
3 MMC Applications 01.99 Working with dialog boxes SINUMERIK 840C applications display a dialog box when additional information is required from the user in order to perform a certain task (e.g. parameters for initializing the serial interface). Omission dots (...) following a menu item indicates that a dialog box is to follow.

Page 291 Automatic mode with an electronic handwheel. Drift compensation SINUMERIK 840C has a semi-automatic drift compensation function which compensates the drift of the drive due to temperature changes. Drift compensation is needed in order to eliminate the permanent contour offset which results from the accumulative following error.
