1 General Notes
A numerically controlled machine tool functions according to the instructions it receives from
the numerical control. In order to carry out the necessary machining operations, the control
requires certain information, such as:
• Workpiece dimensions
• Travel of tool and axis slides
• Machining sequence
• Tool selection
• Speeds
• Feedrates
The program sorts this information into the necessary sequence and translates it into a
language which can be readily understood by the SINUMERIK.
This Programming Guide describes the programming possibilities for the SINUMERIK 880 and
the standard range of functions of the system. The maximum values specified are limit values.
During operation they may be restricted by the machine data, interface unit and input/output
devices.
