-37
To be able to use the software created using the HMI Programming Package on a
PCU, one Open Architecture copying license each is required per PCU.
The prerequisite is the conclusion of an OEM agreement.
HMI Programming Package
The HMI Programming Package based on the COM/OPC ar-
chitecture grants access to data and events in the
SINUMERIK 840Di. Technology-specific programming sys-
tems and dedicated, consistent operating philosophies can
thus be implemented, just as it is possible to simulate exist-
ing or known user interfaces or special diagnostic functions.
To this aim, the HMI Programming Package offers several methods to access the
data of the SINUMERIK 840Di:
• ActiveX Controls and Microsoft Visual Basic
• Other OLE applications
• the OPC interface (OLE for P
rocess Communication)
The integrated OPC servers:
• OPC-Data Server
• OPC-Event Server
allow OPC clients to display and modify data, as well as to display messages and
states of the SINUMERIK 840Di.
In addition, the HMI Programming Package also includes:
• specific ActiveX Controls, such as Fileviewer, NC editor, etc.
• SINUMERIK standard-HMI COM server
To use the software created using the HMI Programming Package on a PCU, no
Open Architecture copying license option is required in conjunction with the
SINUMERIK 840Di.
The prerequisite is the conclusion of an OEM agreement.
