General information

In order to operate handwheels of a SINUMERIK control system, they have to be
parameterized via NCK machine data.
If the handwheels are not connected to the control directly, other measures must be taken,
e.g. in case of connection through PROFIBUS-MCP or handwheel module, the insertion and
configuration of the module with SIMATIC STEP 7, HW Config.
Note
Currently only 6 handwheels can be parameterized in a SINUMERIK control system.
Connection options
SINUMERIK 840D sl
For SINUMERIK 840D sl, handwheels can be connected via the following components:
● PROFIBUS Module
● Ethernet Module
Note
Several handwheels, which are connected via different components, can be connected to a
SINUMERIK 840D slcontrol system simultaneously.
SINUMERIK 828D
For SINUMERIK 828D, handwheels are directly connected to terminal X143 of the PPU.
Note
A maximum of 2 handwheels can be connected to SINUMERIK 828D control system.
