SINUMERIK 840Di sl Manual (HBIsl) – 01/2007 Edition
1 General Information on the SINUMERIK 840Di sl
Because certain control functions require an export license in accordance with
the German Export List, the SINUMERIK 840Di sl is available in two versions.
The standard version SINUMERIK 840Di sl can contain the full scope of func-
tions of the control but this does mean that it requires export approval with re-
gard to its type.
In the export version SINUMERIK 840DiE sl, e.g. the following options are not
available:
S
Interpolation with more than 4 axes
S
Machining package 5 axes
S
Helical interpolation 2D + n (n greater than 2)
S
OEM package
The following restrictions apply to options that can be used:
S
Sag compensation: limited to traversing a maximum distance of 10 mm.
Note
A complete overview of options not available on the export version are listed
in: Catalog NC 61
The corresponding option bits can be set but they have no effect (alarm output if
functions programmed). The export version requires no export license with re-
spect to its type.
(This does not mean that there is not export license requirement with respect to
the intended use. This is a separate matter and may apply in addition.)
The characteristics of the control are defined by the system software which is
available in two versions (standard and export). This means that the export li-
cense requirement of the system software (for details see delivery note or in-
voice) is passed on to the control system on which it is installed.
It is important to be aware of this in the case of updates/upgrades of the system
software because this might affect the export license requirement.
In addition to the information provided on the delivery note and invoice, the
hardware components supplied with the system software are also clearly identi-
fied by adhesive labels as standard or export versions.
Note
The adhesive labels supplied additionally in the packaging are intended to
identify the control after commissioning and must be pasted into the control log
book. In the case of license orders, a corresponding number of labels is
provided, which must also be pasted into the log book.
