Functions
- Operator panels with SINUMERIK TCU (thin client unit) allow the operator panel and SINUMERIK NCU/PCU or SIMATIC IPCs approved for use to be installed in separate locations
- Up to 4 operator panels with TCU can be connected to SINUMERIK NCU/PCU or SIMATIC IPCs approved for use
- The user interface is copied from one control device onto multiple operator panels

Benefits
- Low-oscillation mounting of the SINUMERIK PCU or the SIMATIC IPC in the control cabinet
- Effective operation of larger machines using up to 5 identical operator panels
- Signal transmission between SINUMERIK PCU, SIMATIC IPC and operator panel via Industrial Ethernet
- Operation at the active operator panel with the option to enable the passive operator panel on request
- Combined operation of operator panel with TCU and an operator panel front directly on the SINUMERIK PCU/SIMATIC IPC for SINUMERIK
- Distances between SINUMERIK PCU, SIMATIC IPC and operator panel of up to 100 m (maximum distance between two network nodes)
