Signal transmission between SINUMERIK PCU/NCU and operator panel front via Industrial Ethernet
Easy installation and service-friendly layout thanks to the component structure
Functionality of the SINUMERIK PCU as in centralized configuration, e.g. number of PCI slots. The same operating screen is shown synchronously on all operator panel fronts and can be used from all operator panel fronts. Operator inputs on a Thin Client have equal priority with operator inputs on an operator panel directly connected to the SINUMERIK PCU. The operator panel in passive mode shows a darkened screen.
Operation is possible on the active operator panel. An enabling function permits a passive operator panel to request operation.
The combined operation of operator panel fronts on a SINUMERIK TCU or with an integral TCU and an operator panel front directly connected to the SINUMERIK PCU is possible.
The distance to the operator panel fronts is determined by the maximum distance between two network nodes/access points (100 m/328 ft).
