Networking
SINUMERIK ONE offers integrated PROFINET functionality.
PROFINET IO is supported:
● As part of PROFINET, PROFINET IO is a communication concept that is used to implement
modular, distributed applications. PROFINET IO is based on Industrial Ethernet and allows
distributed field and I/O equipment to be connected to the central processing unit.
● 128 PROFINET IO devices can be operated on the NCU as an IO controller.
2.3 Variants
The scalability of the hardware and software – both from a CNC perspective and in terms of
operation – means the SINUMERIK ONE can be used in many sectors. The possibilities range
from simple positioning tasks up to complex multi-axis systems.
Application areas and performance
● On the NCU, the number of axes and/or the performance of the drive control can be
increased to 31 axes. This is achieved through the use of the NX modules. The NCU can be
expanded by up to 5 NX modules for increased performance of the drive control and number
of axes.
● Use of an NCU 1760 is recommended for maximum dynamics and accuracy in mold making
or in the high-speed cutting sector.
