SINUMERIK 840Di sl Manual (HBIsl) – 01/2007 Edition
Handwheels can be connected to a SINUMERIK 840Di sl via the following inter-
faces:
S
PROFIBUS DP (only via MCI board interface X101)
S
Ethernet
S
Cable distributor (via MCI board extension)
In order to operate handwheels of a SINUMERIK control system, they have to
be parameterized via NCK machine data. If handwheels are not connected via
a cable distributor, additional measures may be required. For example, with
connection via PROFIBUS DP, the module must also be configured with
SIMATIC STEP 7, HW Config.
Note
S
Only six handwheels can be parameterized on a SINUMERIK 840Di sl.
S
It is possible to operate handwheels that are connected via different
interfaces (cable distributor, PROFIBUS, Ethernet) at the same time.
Parameterization of handwheels connected via cable distributor is done via the
following NCK machine data:
S
MD11350 $MN_HANDWHEEL_SEGMENT[x] = 1
with x = Handwheel_No._in_NCK – 1
When connected via cable distributor, the hardware segment has always to
be entered as 1 (local hardware segment).
S
MD11351 $MN_HANDWHEEL_MODULE[x] = 1
with x = Handwheel_No._in_NCK – 1
When connected via cable distributor, the hardware module has always to
be entered as 1.
S
MD11352 $MN_HANDWHEEL_INPUT[x] = < Handwheel connection >
with x = Handwheel_No._in_NCK – 1
Handwheel connection used: 1 or 2
Note
A maximum of two handwheels can be connected via the cable distributor.
