2.3 Variants
The scalability of the hardware and software – both from a CNC perspective and in terms of
operation – means the SINUMERIK 840D sl can be used in many sectors. The possibilities
range from simple positioning tasks up to complex multi-axis systems.
Application areas and performance
● As many as 6 axes can be implemented on an NCU 710. The NCU 710 can be expanded
by up to 2 NX modules. One possible benefit would be improved automatic speed control
performance.
● On the NCU 720/730, the number of axes and/or the performance of the drive controller
can be increased to 31 axes. This is achieved by using the NX10/15 module. The NCU
720/730 can be expanded by up to 5 NX10/15 modules in terms of drive controller
performance and the number of axes.
● Use of an NCU 730 is recommended for maximum dynamics and accuracy in mold
making or in the high speed cutting sector.
● Since it has the highest PLC capacity, the NCU 730.2 PN represents the most advanced
configuration within the SINUMERIK 840D sl range.
The following table shows the essential features of the various Control Units:
