Supplementary conditions
For operation of a TCU:
• In the system network, the number of active TCUs is limited:
– a maximum of 2 TCUs: NCU 710.3 PN
– a maximum of 4 TCUs: NCU720.3PN or NCU730.3PN
– a maximum of 4 TCUs: PCU
Any number of TCUs can be operated in the system network.
• CompactFlash Cards cannot be used on the TCU.
• A 16 bit or 32 bit depth of color setting may be selected.
• If a PC keyboard is connected to the TCU, it is not possible to ensure that all special keys, e.g.,
multi-media keys, will be transferred to the software of the NCU / PCU.
• Machine control panels connected via a PROFIBUS network are not supported for switchover.
• Distributed memory media that are connected to the TCU via USB can be used.

Meaning of the symbols:
○ Eth 1 as a DHCP client
● Eth 2 as a DHCP server
■ Eth 2 with a xed IP address
Preconguration of the TCU
The TCU is congured as a DHCP client and primarily accepts IP addresses from SINUMERIK
components, from the DHCP server of such components that are inherent to SINUMERIK, for
example, an NCU at X120 or a PCU on the system network or from a default DHCP server. The
behavior of the TCU cannot be modied here.
A TCU is a SINUMERIK DHCP client.
The TCU has a single Ethernet connection.
A TCU executes a boot via the network. The boot server is the computer node from which the
TCU also obtains its IP address.
