System advantages

The SINUMERIK 840Di has an open software and hardware architecture and
stands out by the following features:
A ready-to-use configured and tested system from a single source
The ready-to-use configured and tested system equipped with Siemens-certified
components is free of the risk of system integration and helps save you your own
engineering overhead. With the open NC software of the SINUMERIK 840Di, a
comprehensive, expandable functionality compatible with the A&D world is also
offered for everyone who today makes his own NCs.
In addition, SINUMERIK 840Di as part of the known automation systems from
SIEMENS (SINUMERIK, SIMODRIVE and SIMATIC) also offers the advantage
that already existing know-how can be used in many places, resulting in a
reduction of the costs required for training and qualification of staff.
Distribution with PROFIBUS DP
Drives and I/Os are controlled consistently via the PROFIBUS DP with Motion
Control functionality. Both the drive and the I/Os can thus be arranged either
centralized or distributed.
The following components are provided for connection to PROFIBUS DP:
Drives
•
the highly dynamic modular converter system SIMODRIVE 611 with digital
closed-loop control modules SIMODRIVE 611 universal and the option module
PROFIBUS DP with Motion Control;
•
the completely distributed drive system SIMODRIVE POSMO CD/CA
(with/without its own mains infeed) with integrated converter and control unit for
high-performance servo applications;
•
the distributed 1-axis servo drive SIMODRIVE POSMO SI as a separate, fully
functional Mechatronic unit with centralized mains infeed;
•
the intelligent distributed positioning motor SIMODRIVE POSMO A as a simple
and compact drive unit.
•
the ADI4 interface module (Analog Drive Interface for 4 Axes, available soon)
for connecting drives with analog setpoint interface.
I/O modules
•
the known SIMATIC I/O modules of the ET 200 series;
•
the low-cost I/O module PP72/48 with 72 digital inputs and 48 digital outputs.
