General information

In order to operate handwheels of a SINUMERIK control system, they have to be
parameterized via NCK machine data. If the handwheels are not connected to the control
directly through a cable distributor, other measures must be taken, e.g., in case of
connection through PROFIBUS-MCP or handwheel module, the insertion and configuration
of the module with SIMATIC STEP 7, HW config.
Note
Currently only 6 handwheels can be parameterized in a SINUMERIK control system.
Connection options
Handwheels can be connected via the following components:
SINUMERIK
Control
840D
840Di
840D sl
840Di sl
Note
Multiple handwheels, which are connected via different components, can be operated in a
SINUMERIKcontrol system simultaneously.
