SINUMERIK 840D sl/840D/840Di/810D HMI Installation and Start-Up Guide (IAM) – 08/2005 Edition
IM2/1-9
In this Sinumerik sl system, one or more TCUs (Thin Client Units) are used to
operate and monitor the control. The actual HMI Embedded operator software runs
on the NCU, while the TCUs make up the operator interface.
The TCUs are equipped with USB interfaces, to which you can connect USB
devices (e.g., memory stick, USB diskette drive, etc.) in order to download data
onto the control or to back up the control data.
A description of the individual components and how they can be combined,
connected and installed can be found in various manuals.
(see Section: Documentation).
1.1.2 Software
A CompactFlash card containing the complete HMI Embedded sl software package
is supplied with the NCU.
Licensing
You need a license release (authorization to use the software) in order to use
various options of HMI Embedded and the NCU. Activation is required before the
protected software can be used.
See Chapter 3: Licensing
1.2 Accessories
Memory media
USB stick
You can use a 512 MB USB stick (order number 6ES57648-0DC20-0AA0) as your
storage medium, e.g., to back up files and programs.
Memory expansion of CompactFlash card
You can also use the CompactFlash card as a memory location. To obtain this
additional memory expansion, you must purchase the "256 MB user memory"
option with order number: 6FC5800-0AP12-0YB0.
The license manager is then used to activate this option (additional 256 MB HMI
memory on CF card of NC, etc.).
Keyboard
Because the HMI Embedded sl must differentiate between uppercase and
lowercase, you require an external keyboard (with USB connector) for the
installation and startup. Plug in the keyboard in the USB interface on the front of
the operator panel. The system immediately detects the keyboard.
