SINUMERIK 801 Control System 1
1.1 System Overview
General The SINUMERIK 801 is a highly integrated, high-performance and
economic numerical control system, which can be extensively applied to
economic CNC turning machines. It can control 2 feed axes and 1 spindle.
Control signals output to feed axes include digital pulse, direction and
enable signals, control signals output to the spindle include analog voltage
and enable. The SINUMERIK 801 can thus be used to control feed axes
for stepper drives, and servo drives with digital pulse interfaces. Either
servo spindle or variable frequency spindle can be controlled via the
SINUMERIK 801. This documentation gives descriptions for configuring
the SINUMERIK 801 with stepper drives/servo drives.
System components The SINUMERIK 801 control system is a compact CNC unit. It consists of the
following components:
h CNC
A compact CNC with an integrated 6″ LCD, full NC keys and MCP area;
h Stepper drives and stepper motors
1) Stepper drives STEPDRIVE C/C
+
;
2) Five-phase hybrid stepper motors
h Cables
1) Signal cables for connecting CNC to drives;
2) Cables for connecting drives to motors;
3) Signal cable for connecting spindle encoder to CNC;
4) RS232 cable for connecting CNC to a PC;
5) Signal cable for connecting CNC to an electronic handwheel.
z One spindle encoder
z One electronic handwheel
z Possible configurations by users: servo motors (with digital pulse
interfaces) and servo motors.
