  Notes (for Fig. 2-2): 
1)  Two phases of U,V,W that are not used by the control transformer; 
2)  In order to ensure a good grounding, the cross-sectional area of PE rails 
shall be not less than 6mm

Notice 
When AC servo drives are used, please connect cables as per requirements 
concerned. 
 
24VDC power supply   
The SINUMERIK 801 CNC is supplied by a 24V DC power supply, which 
enables the control system to run in order under the voltage range of 
24V-15% ... +20%. The excellent quality of the DC power supply is critical for 
the stable operation of the control system. You’re recommend to select 
Siemens 24VDC stabilized power supply (order number: 6EP1333-3BA00). If 
a DC power supply other than Siemens is used, please detect the output 
waveform generated when the power supply is switched off. 
 
 
    Fig. 2-3 The power supply waveform 
   If the waveform as shown in the upper right figure occurs, supply the 
SINUMERIK 801 in a way as indicated in the figure below and describe the 
system power-on sequences in the corresponding user guide for machine 
tools. Proper sequences are: switch on the mains for machine tools (to 
energize 24VDC power supply and drives) first, then supply the control system 
by pressing the button SA1; For switching off the control system, press SA2 
first, then power off the mains for the machine tool.
