Overview
The SINUMERIK Thin Client Unit TCU 30.2 for distributed
installation allows the OP 019 operator panel front and the
SINUMERIK PCU or SINUMERIK NCU to be installed separately.
This is made possible by copying the user interface to one or
several operator panel fronts, each with a
SINUMERIK TCU 30.2.
■
Benefits
7
Design of flat operator panels through the shallow installation
depth and low power dissipation
7
Low-vibration installation of the SINUMERIK PCU in the
control cabinet
7
Efficient operation of larger machines using up to 5 uniform
operator panels simultaneously – of which 4 are Thin Clients
7
Effective operation of interlinked machines – more than
4 Thin Client operator panels can be connected thanks to
suppression mechanism
■
Design
The SINUMERIK TCU 30.2 is connected to the
SINUMERIK PCU/NCU via Industrial Ethernet as Thin Client in its
own subnet via DHCP server.
Graphics:
Resolution 1280 × 1042 pixels (SXGA), 16-bit color depth
Ports:
•
5 × USB 2.0 for connection of mouse, keyboard and
USB flash drive
•
Industrial Ethernet 10/100/1000 Mbit/s
■
Function
•
Signal transmission between SINUMERIK PCU,
SINUMERIK 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 config-
uration, 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).
■
Integration
The SINUMERIK TCU 30.2 can be used for:
•
SINUMERIK 840D sl:
NCU 710.3B PN/NCU 720.3B PN/NCU 730.3B PN
•
SINUMERIK OP 019 operator panel front
•
SINUMERIK PCU 50.5 Windows 7
