Overview
SINUMERIK operator panel fronts with PCU or TCU
The SINUMERIK operator panel fronts (OP) can be combined
with the SINUMERIK PCU (industrial PC) or SINUMERIK Thin
Client Unit (TCU) and contain numerous innovations to improve
ease of operation.
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.
Thus the SINUMERIK operator panel fronts can be tailored to the
individual user's requirements.
SINUMERIK PCU
Innovative operator panels can be created with the
SINUMERIK PCU (highly integrated industrial PC) and
SINUMERIK operator panel fronts. The SINUMERIK PCU is
mounted on the rear of the SINUMERIK operator panel fronts,
or can be positioned at distances up to 100 m (328 ft) from
the operator panel in the cabinet.
The powerful SINUMERIK PCU features numerous innovations.
The communication interfaces via Ethernet and PROFIBUS DP
are already on board.
The complementary proven 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 PCU or TCU.
SINUMERIK TCU
The SINUMERIK Thin Client Unit (TCU) allows operator panel
fronts and the SINUMERIK PCU or NCU to be installed in sepa-
rate locations. For this reason, the user interface is copied to one
or several operator panel fronts, each with a SINUMERIK TCU.
Operator panels
An operator panel comprises a SINUMERIK PCU and/or
SINUMERIK TCU available with a range of performance options,
as well as a SINUMERIK operator panel front in a variety of
display sizes.
The displays comply with quality standards relating to pixel error
class as defined by ISO standard 13406-2, Class 2.

Intelligent, rugged operator panels that have an impressively
low-profile and compact design
7
Individual design of your user interface, using your expertise
by means of openness in human-machine communication
7
Distributed design due to physical separation of PCU and
operator panel front
The operator panels are predominantly used for visualization
and for the operation of machine tools. They are particularly
suitable for milling, turning, grinding and special-purpose
machines.
