The appearance of the Display Manager screen surface can be adjusted at any time to suit the individual preferences of the operator.
SINUMERIK 840 - the open CNC for modular machine concepts
SINUMERIK 840D sl offers an almost inexhaustible performance potential: Thanks to its drive-based, high-performance NCUs (Numerical Control Units) with state-of-the-art multicore processor technology, up to 93 axes in 30 machine channels can be controlled in the NCU link.
In addition to the scalable NCU performance, SINUMERIK 840D sl also has a high degree of modularity when it comes to the operating components. A flexible M:N operating concept – for example, any operator panel can be combined with the NCU – makes the SINUMERIK 840D sl the ideal solution when operating high-end machine tools.
Communication at every level
SINUMERIK 840D sl is perfectly embedded in the Siemens TIA environment using PROFINET. Totally Integrated Automation stands for a unique level of seamless integration – from the field, through production, up to the company supervisory level.
Benchmark in open architecture
The openness of the SINUMERIK 840D sl is second to none. The CNC can be optimally adapted to the machine's technology. For instance, the operating system can be supplemented and adapted, or even robots and handling systems can be integrated.
Utilize the bandwidth of machining technologies
Milling and turning at the limit is one of the strengths of SINUMERIK 840D sl. Further, SINUMERIK 840D sl allows an almost inexhaustible range of technologies to be addressed: from grinding and laser machining, through gearwheel- up to multitasking machining. With its outstanding system flexibility, SINUMERIK 840D sl is also the first choice when it comes to addressing completely new fields of technology.

Engineering in the TIA Portal
The TIA Portal is the working environment for the configuration, parameterization and programming of machine tools and is characterized by a high level of user-friendliness. It helps to deal with engineering tasks in a uniform and structured manner. The SINUMERIK 840D sl is integrated into the TIA Portal:
- Thanks to STEP 7 in the TIA Portal, the automation programs for SINUMERIK can be created in the common PLC languages or by efficient high-level language programming in Structured Control Language (SCL).
- With WinCC, the TIA Portal provides a comprehensive configuration tool for creating professional user interfaces.
- The Safety Integrated plus safety concept can be implemented easily and efficiently thanks to the TIA Portal.

SINUMERIK 840 - Safety Integrated
Siemens is the pioneer when it comes to protecting man and machinery. For almost two decades now, SINUMERIK Safety Integrated has been the benchmark for safety technology integrated in the system for machine tools. SINUMERIK Safety Integrated involves intelligent system functions that provide the highest level of operator friendliness and safety for both operator and machine. For example, setting up the machine with the protective door open.
Teamed-up with the SINAMICS drive system, SINUMERIK 840 controls offer the optimum platform for implementing safe machine concepts.
From software release 4.8 SP 2, Safety Integrated plus is also available for SINUMERIK 840D sl. A real highlight is the graphically supported commissioning with screen forms that significantly simplify parameterizing the safety functions.
SinuTrain - the control-identical NC-programming station
The SinuTrain offline programming station brings SINUMERIK Operate to the PC, including an animated machine control panel, to create a training situation that is very similar to that experienced in reality. This facilitates an easy transition from a training into a practical environment. This powerful tool allows NC programs to be programmed offline at a PC in an environment that is close to reality; these NC programs can then be directly transferred to the CNC. CNCs can be programmed in a training environment exactly as they will be subsequently used in real machines controlled by SINUMERIK. Perfectly tailored training packages are available as well as a free-of-charge basic version – everything you need for efficient training in your own environment.
