Operator panels for SINUMERIK
Operator panels for SINUMERIK can be assembled individually using SINUMERIK and SIMATIC products. They are available with various performance levels and designs, and in miscellaneous display sizes. Operator panels for SINUMERIK are available in the following variants:
SINUMERIK PCU (SIMATIC IPC for SINUMERIK)
The SIMATIC IPC for SINUMERIK can be combined with the SIMATIC IFP/ITC and/or with the SINUMERIK operator panel fronts via the SINUMERIK TCU. It can be connected to a SINUMERIK NCU. In the distributed configuration, the SIMATIC IPC can be positioned at distances up to 100 m from the operator panel in the control cabinet.
SINUMERIK TCU
The SINUMERIK Thin Client Unit (TCU) allows operator panel fronts and the SINUMERIK PCU or NCU to be installed in separate locations. To that end, the user interface is copied to one or several operator panel fronts, each with a SINUMERIK TCU.
SINUMERIK operator panel fronts
All SINUMERIK operator panel fronts can be combined with the SINUMERIK PCU. The blackline operator panel fronts and the SINUMERIK OP 08T feature an integrated SINUMERIK TCU (Thin Client Unit).
The USB interfaces provide hot plug&play functionality for a standard PC keyboard, mouse or USB flash drive. SINUMERIK operator panel fronts are available with various display sizes, membrane keyboards, mechanical or capacitive buttons, as well as state-of-the-art operator panels with capacitive display areas for gesture control.
SIMATIC Industrial Thin Clients ITC for SINUMERIK
The SIMATIC ITC can be combined directly with a SIMATIC IPC. They can be connected to the SINUMERIK NCU via a SIMATIC IPC. SIMATIC ITCs are available in various display sizes, with multi-touch operation.
SIMATIC Industrial Flat Panel IFP for SINUMERIK
The SIMATIC IFPs can be combined directly with a SIMATIC IPC. They can be connected to the SINUMERIK NCU via a SIMATIC IPC. SIMATIC IFPs are available in various display sizes, with multi-touch operation. They can be positioned up to 30 m away from the SIMATIC IPC.
SIMATIC Panels with integrated IPC for SINUMERIK
The SIMATIC IPC477E is a compact unit comprising an operating unit (SIMATIC Industrial Flat Panel) with an integrated computing unit. It can be connected directly to a SINUMERIK NCU and supplemented with a SIMATIC IFP as required.
Supplementary operator components
The complementary, tried and tested operator control components such as handheld units, machine control panels, Push Button Panels, electronic handwheels, keyboards, and card readers can be used with the SINUMERIK TCU or the SINUMERIK PCU (SIMATIC IPC).
