System Overview - Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl Commissioning Manual

System overview

Introduction
The HMI sl software V2.1 is an integral component of the NCU V2.4 software and it can thus
run on the NCUs 7x0.
Visualization and operation is handled via a SINUMERIK operation panel (e.g., OP 012, TP
015AT, OP 08T, HT8), which is connected via TCU (Thin Client Unit) to the NCU (Numerical
Control Unit).
The HMI sl software's default data carrier is the NCU's CompactFlash card.
The HMI sl software is started automatically when the NCU software starts up and in the
delivery state offers its standard functional scope, which depends on the current NC and
PLC configuration.
This Commissioning Manual describes the possible functional expansions and adjustments
that the machine manufacturer can make using the HMI sl software.
