Starting up the SINUMERIK 840Di

The start-up of the SINUMERIK 840Di comprises mainly the parameterization of
the NC depending on the current machine configuration by setting the relevant
machine data and the loading of a SIMATIC S7 project into the PLC via STEP 7.
STEP 7 is the basic package required to configure and program SIMATIC
automation systems. STEP 7 is not included in the scope of supply of the
SINUMERIK 840Di and must be acquired separately.
Basic start-up
After a SINUMERIK 840Di has been turned on for the first time, a basic start-up of
the control system has to be carried out which includes the installation of the
system software on the PCU and the parameterization of NC and PLC with
predefined default values such that a first test of the system can be carried out
with, naturally, simulated machine axes.

The actual start-up of the NC, i.e. the adaptation of the NC to the current machine
configuration or to the automation process, is carried out by entering appropriate
values in so-called machine data. When doing so, the machine data can be edited
