 Human-machine interface plus NC control –
the PC-based single-processor solution:
even more open, even more flexible

Modern control systems based on industrial PCs are used in automation engineering with increasing

frequency today. Together with a standard operating system such as Windows NT, these control systems

play a growing role as open and flexible software and hardware platforms. The user is at home in the

familiar PC world. The totally PC-integrated SINUMERIK® 840Di NC control provides you with a PC-based

control concept that sets new trends. The main applications to profit from this concept are those where

PCs are used anyway or where there is a preference for distributed configuration of the drives and I/Os.

Application areas include woodworking, glass, ceramics, packaging, handling, presses, bending, but SINUMERIK 840Di can offer you much

SIMATIC® and SIMODRIVE®.
Openness in hardware and software
provides you with a high degree of
flexibility and expandability. This
makes possible tailored solutions for
industry-specific and customer-
specific requirements.

Distributed configuration with

PROFIBUS-DP
There is a clearly discernible trend
towards distributed systems. Another
important feature of the SINUMERIK
840Di is PROFIBUS-DP with Motion
Control. This is, after all, the uniform
fieldbus for drives and I/O and allows
distributed configuration of the entire
system. Such a configuration provides
the advantage of being able to install
drive units and components, such as
I/O modules for on/off signals, in the
vicinity of the machine. In this way,
you can reduce the area needed for
the control cabinet and you can make
reductions in wiring overhead.
