Types Of Distributed Machines - Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl Function Manual

B3: Several operator panels connected to several NCUs, distributed systems - only 840D sl
If Safety Integrated (SI) is used in machines with NCU Link, then it is possible, when:
• the configuration of the system-integrated SI functions does not include the link,
• in the configuration of the safety-oriented inputs/outputs (SGE/SGA) no safety-oriented
However, if axial system-integrated SI functions of link or container-link axes are still used,
then this is done under the responsibility of the machine manufacturer. Hence there are
boundary conditions for the SI functions Stop D/E, SG, SE, SN, as well as for
commissioning, diagnosis and for the SI acceptance test.

Types of distributed machines

Machine characteristics
Rotary indexing machines/multi-spindle machines exhibit the following characteristics:
● Global, cross-station units (not assignable to one station):
● Station-related (position-related), fixed-location units:
Applications
Rotary indexing machines (RVM) and multi-spindle machines (MS) are used as highly
productive machines in medium and large batch production.
Their main advantage is that many machining steps can be performed on the workpiece in
one clamp.

WARNING
containerlink and/or lead-link axes.
signal exchange is necessary between the controls involved, or the signal exchange
between the controls involved takes place exclusively via the safety-oriented
inputs/outputs (SGE/SGA) in accordance with the functional description of Safety
Integrated (e.g. consideration of the 3-terminal concept).
– Drum/rotary switching axis and
– units which change from station (position) to station (position):
In the case of rotary indexing machines: → the rotary axis for workpiece clamping with
multi-face machining
In the case of multi-spindle machines:
→ spindle, quill
– Slides, milling/drilling units used on the part that is changed from station to station for
a machining task.
