Fundamental safety instructions 1
1.1 General safety instructions
DANGER
Danger to life due to live parts and other energy sources
Death or serious injury can result when live parts are touched.
● Only work on electrical devices when you are qualified for this job.
● Always observe the country-specific safety rules.
Generally, six steps apply when establishing safety:
1. Prepare for shutdown and notify all those who will be affected by the procedure.
2. Disconnect the machine from the supply.
– Switch off the machine.
– Wait until the discharge time specified on the warning labels has elapsed.
– Check that it really is in a no-voltage condition, from phase conductor to phase
conductor and phase conductor to protective conductor.
– Check whether the existing auxiliary supply circuits are de-energized.
– Ensure that the motors cannot move.
3. Identify all other dangerous energy sources, e.g. compressed air, hydraulic systems, or
water.
4. Isolate or neutralize all hazardous energy sources by closing switches, grounding or short-
circuiting or closing valves, for example.
5. Secure the energy sources against switching on again.
6. Ensure that the correct machine is completely interlocked.
After you have completed the work, restore the operational readiness in the inverse
sequence.
WARNING
Danger to life through a hazardous voltage when connecting an unsuitable power supply
Touching live components can result in death or severe injury.
● Only use power supplies that provide SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) or PELV-
(Protective Extra Low Voltage) output voltages for all connections and terminals of the
electronics modules.

Manual, 06/2014, 6FC5397-1EP40-5BA1 9
Fundamental safety instructions
WARNING
Danger to life when live parts are touched on damaged devices
Improper handling of devices can cause damage.
For damaged devices, hazardous voltages can be present at the enclosure or at exposed
components; if touched, this can result in death or severe injury.
● Ensure compliance with the limit values specified in the technical data during transport,
storage and operation.
● Do not use any damaged devices.
WARNING
Danger to life through electric shock due to unconnected cable shields
Hazardous touch voltages can occur through capacitive cross-coupling due to unconnected
cable shields.
● As a minimum, connect cable shields and the cores of cables that are not used at one
end at the grounded housing potential.
WARNING
Danger to life due to electric shock when not grounded
For missing or incorrectly implemented protective conductor connection for devices with
protection class I, high voltages can be present at open, exposed parts, which when touched,
can result in death or severe injury.
● Ground the device in compliance with the applicable regulations.
WARNING
Danger to life due to fire spreading if housing is inadequate
Fire and smoke development can cause severe personal injury or material damage.
● Install devices without a protective housing in a metal control cabinet (or protect the device
by another equivalent measure) in such a way that contact with fire is prevented.
● Ensure that smoke can only escape via controlled and monitored paths.

10 Manual, 06/2014, 6FC5397-1EP40-5BA1
WARNING
Danger to life through unexpected movement of machines when using mobile wireless
devices or mobile phones
Using mobile wireless devices or mobile phones with a transmit power > 1 W closer than
approx. 2 m to the components may cause the devices to malfunction, influence the functional
safety of machines therefore putting people at risk or causing material damage.
● Switch the wireless devices or mobile phones off in the immediate vicinity of the
components.
WARNING
Danger to life due to fire if overheating occurs because of insufficient ventilation clearances
Inadequate ventilation clearances can cause overheating of components with subsequent
fire and smoke. This can cause severe injury or even death. This can also result in increased
downtime and reduced service lives for devices/systems.
● Ensure compliance with the specified minimum clearance as ventilation clearance for the
respective component.
WARNING
Danger to life when safety functions are inactive
Safety functions that are inactive or that have not been adjusted accordingly can cause
operational faults on machines that could lead to serious injury or death.
● Observe the information in the appropriate product documentation before commissioning.
● Carry out a safety inspection for functions relevant to safety on the entire system, including
all safety-related components.
● Ensure that the safety functions used in your drives and automation tasks are adjusted
and activated through appropriate parameterizing.
● Perform a function test.
● Only put your plant into live operation once you have guaranteed that the functions
relevant to safety are running correctly.
Note
Important safety notices for Safety Integrated functions
If you want to use Safety Integrated functions, you must observe the safety notices in the
Safety Integrated manuals.

Manual, 06/2014, 6FC5397-1EP40-5BA1 11
1.3 Industrial security
1.2 Handling electrostatic sensitive devices (ESD)

Electrostatic sensitive devices (ESD) are individual components, integrated circuits, modules
or devices that may be damaged by either electric fields or electrostatic discharge.
NOTICE
Damage through electric fields or electrostatic discharge
Electric fields or electrostatic discharge can cause malfunctions through damaged individual
components, integrated circuits, modules or devices.
● Only pack, store, transport and send electronic components, modules or devices in their
original packaging or in other suitable materials, e.g conductive foam rubber of aluminum
foil.
● Only touch components, modules and devices when you are grounded by one of the
following methods:
– Wearing an ESD wrist strap
– Wearing ESD shoes or ESD grounding straps in ESD areas with conductive flooring
● Only place electronic components, modules or devices on conductive surfaces (table with
ESD surface, conductive ESD foam, ESD packaging, ESD transport container).

12 Manual, 06/2014, 6FC5397-1EP40-5BA1
1.4 Residual risks of power drive systems
WARNING
Danger as a result of unsafe operating states resulting from software manipulation
Software manipulation (e.g. by viruses, Trojan horses, malware, worms) can cause unsafe
operating states to develop in your installation which can result in death, severe injuries and/
or material damage.
● Keep the software up to date.
You will find relevant information and newsletters at this address (http://
support.automation.siemens.com).
● Incorporate the automation and drive components into a holistic, state-of-the-art industrial
security concept for the installation or machine.
You will find further information at this address (http://www.siemens.com/
industrialsecurity).
● Make sure that you include all installed products into the holistic industrial security concept.

The control and drive components of a drive system are approved for industrial and commercial
use in industrial line supplies. Their use in public line supplies requires a different configuration
and/or additional measures.
These components may only be operated in closed housings or in higher-level control cabinets
with protective covers that are closed, and when all of the protective devices are used.
These components may only be handled by qualified and trained technical personnel who are
knowledgeable and observe all of the safety instructions on the components and in the
associated technical user documentation.
When assessing the machine's risk in accordance with the respective local regulations (e.g.,
EC Machinery Directive), the machine manufacturer must take into account the following
residual risks emanating from the control and drive components of a drive system:

Manual, 06/2014, 6FC5397-1EP40-5BA1 13
1. Unintentional movements of driven machine components during commissioning, operation,

maintenance, and repairs caused by, for example,
– Hardware and/or software errors in the sensors, control system, actuators, and cables
and connections
– Response times of the control system and of the drive
– Operation and/or environmental conditions outside the specification
– Condensation/conductive contamination
– Parameterization, programming, cabling, and installation errors
– Use of wireless devices/mobile phones in the immediate vicinity of the control system
– External influences/damage
2. In the event of a fault, exceptionally high temperatures, including an open fire, as well as
emissions of light, noise, particles, gases, etc. can occur inside and outside the inverter,
e.g.:
– Component failure
– Software errors
Inverters of the Open Type/IP20 degree of protection must be installed in a metal control
cabinet (or protected by another equivalent measure) such that contact with fire inside and
outside the inverter is not possible.
3. Hazardous shock voltages caused by, for example,
– Component failure
– Influence during electrostatic charging
– Induction of voltages in moving motors
– Condensation/conductive contamination
4. Electrical, magnetic and electromagnetic fields generated in operation that can pose a risk
to people with a pacemaker, implants or metal replacement joints, etc., if they are too close
5. Release of environmental pollutants or emissions as a result of improper operation of the
system and/or failure to dispose of components safely and correctly
Note
The components must be protected against conductive contamination (e.g. by installing them
in a control cabinet with degree of protection IP54 according to IEC 60529 or NEMA 12).
Assuming that conductive contamination at the installation site can definitely be excluded, a
lower degree of cabinet protection may be permitted.

14 Manual, 06/2014, 6FC5397-1EP40-5BA1
For more information about residual risks of the components in a drive system, see the relevant
sections in the technical user documentation.

Networking
The SINUMERIK 840D sl offers integrated PROFINET functionality. Supported:
● PROFINET CBA
The CBA functionality integrated in the NCU allows users to modularize machinery and
systems: Rapid real-time communication (up to 10 ms) between the controllers means that
systems lend themselves better to standardization and can be reused or expanded more
easily. Response to customer demands is faster and more flexible and startup is simplified
and speeded up by pretesting at component level.
● PROFINET IO
As part of PROFINET, PROFINET IO is a communication concept that is used to implement
modular, distributed applications. PROFINET IO is based on Industrial Ethernet and allows
distributed field and I/O equipment to be connected to the central processing unit.
128 PROFINET IO devices can be operated on the NCU as an IO controller.
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

● Up to 8 axes may be implemented on an NCU 710. The NCU 710 can be expanded by up
to 2 NX modules. One possible benefit would be increased drive 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 through the use of the NX modules. The
NCU 720/730 can be expanded by up to 5 NX modules for increased performance of the
drive control and 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.

Functions of the dual fan/battery module

The dual fan/battery module has the following tasks:
● Cooling the CPU by means of two redundant fans.
● Buffering of the real time clock.
The temperature inside the NCU and the correct functioning of the fan are monitored. Fan
faults are displayed and can be read out by means of the diagnostic buffer.
● Fan alarm ⇒ alarm 2110 "NCK temperature alarm": if one of the two fans no longer rotates
or the speed is out of tolerance.
● Fan fault ⇒ alarm 2120 "NCK fan alarm type %1": if none of the fans rotate.
If the software does not respond within approx. 1 minute, the components are shut down
automatically and the status is indicated by means of the red SF LED.
You can find more information on the alarms in the Diagnostics Manual.

Manual, 06/2014, 6FC5397-1EP40-5BA1 29
Description
Additional information on the diagnostics buffer is provided in the Function Manual Basic
Functions, see PLC signal DB10 DBX109.6 (fan temperature alarm).
Fans
The temperature is sensed at several locations within the NCU. The fan is automatically
switched in when the temperature thresholds set in the factory are exceeded. A hysteresis
function prevents frequent fan start/stop operations.
If natural convection is not sufficient to ensure cooling of the NCU, the fans integrated in the
dual fan/battery module are switched on when required (except for an NCU 730.3B PN with
PLC 319-3 DP/PN, in this case, the fan runs continuously):
● After switching the NCU on, the fan is activated for a brief period of time (function test)
before turning itself off again.
● The temperature is sensed at several locations within the NCU. The fan is automatically
switched in when the temperature thresholds set in the factory are exceeded. A hysteresis
function prevents frequent fan start/stop operations.
Note
The NCU cannot be operated without fans, i.e. it will not power up if the dual fan/battery
module is not functioning. The RDY LED flashes red/orange with 0.5 Hz, all other LEDs light
up orange. The state can only be exited by switching the NCU off.
Battery
A 3 V lithium battery is installed in the dual fan/battery module; this can be replaced when
required. The battery is pre-assembled with an approximately 4 cm long cable with plug
connector. The appropriate mating connector is attached to a small circuit board for connection
in the dual fan/battery module.
Note
Please dispose of used batteries in the specially provided collection points on site. This will
ensure that the batteries are recycled in the correct manner or treated as special waste.
Note
The backup time of a used type of battery is at least 3 years. Exceeding this backup time
risks loss of data.

4.1 Secondary electrical conditions
4.1.1 Grounding concept
Components
The SINUMERIK 840D sl system consists of a number of individual components which have
been designed so that the system complies with the appropriate EMC and safety standards.
The individual system components are:
● Numerical Control Unit (NCU):
● Machine Control Panel MCP, Machine Push Button Panel MPP
● Keyboard
● Operator panels (operator panel front + TCU/PCU)
● Distributor box and handheld unit
● S7-300 I/O with IM 153 interface module
Grounding measures
The individual modules are attached to a metal cabinet panel. Insulating paints on the mounting
points must be removed.
It is permissible to have a cluster of operator components for ground connection/PA.
Example: The control panel on the swivel arm.
It is sufficient in this instance to connect the ground connections of, for example, the PCU,
TCU, and operator panel front using a cable and to route a shared grounding conductor to the
central ground connection in the control cabinet.
Configuration Manual, EMC Guidelines
4.1.2 RI suppression measures

In addition to the protective grounding of system components, special precautions must be
taken to ensure safe, fault-free operation of the system. These measures include shielded
signal lines, special equipotential bonding connections, and isolation and shielding
measures.

4.1 Secondary electrical conditions
Shielded signal lines

● For safe and smooth operation of the system, the specified cables must be used. Please
refer to the chapter titled Connection.
● For digital signal transmission, the shield must have a conductive connection at both sides
of the housing.
Cable definitions
● Signal cables (example)
– Data cables (Ethernet, PROFIBUS, PROFINET, sensor cables, etc.)
– Digital inputs/outputs
– EMERGENCY OFF lines
● Power cables (example)
– Supply voltage 1 x 230 V AC or 3 x 400 V AC
– Motor cables
Rules for routing cables

In order to maximize noise immunity for the complete system (controller, power section,
machine) the following EMC measures must be observed:
● A minimum distance of 200 mm is to be observed between the signal lines and power cables.
● If necessary, signal and load cables may cross one another (if possible, at an angle of 90°),
but must never be laid close or parallel to one another.
● Only use cables approved by Siemens for the signal lines from and to the NCU.
● Signal cables may not be routed close to strong external magnetic fields (e.g., motors and
transformers).
● If signal lines cannot be routed a sufficient distance away from other cables, they must be
installed in grounded cable ducts (metal).

6.1 Safety information
Note
The NCU is exclusively intended for installation in ESD-protected zones. The CE-associated
ESD interference immunity limit values can only be achieved via installation in the control
cabinet. Only make physical contact using appropriate ESD protective measures.
Open equipment
These modules are open equipment. This means they may only be installed in housings,
cabinets or in electrical service rooms that can be entered or accessed exclusively by means
of a key or tool. Housings, cabinets, or electrical equipment rooms may only be accessed by
trained or authorized personnel. An external fire protection casing is required.
NOTICE
The module can be damaged if power is connected to the NCU when installing/removing it
When installing the NCU, the system and the NCU must be disconnected (brought into a no
voltage condition).
Control cabinet installation

Please refer to the SINAMICS documentation for more details.
WARNING
Risk of fire through overheating if there are insufficient ventilation clearances
Inadequate ventilation clearances cause overheating with a risk for personnel due to smoke
and fire. Further, this can result in increased failures and a shorter service life of devices/
systems.
It is essential that you maintain 80 mm ventilation clearances above and below the NCU.
NOTICE
Risk of destroying components resulting from high discharge currents
The NCU or other PROFIBUS or PROFINET devices can be destroyed if significant discharge
currents flow through the PROFIBUS or PROFINET cable.
Between parts of a plant or system, use a function equipotential bonding conductor with a
minimum cross-section of 25 mm².

6.2 Designs
NOTICE
Cables not certified for the application can damage modules
Only use Siemens cables for the DRIVE-CLiQ connections.
Note
Protecting unused DRIVE-CLiQ interfaces
Close any unused DRIVE-CLiQ interfaces using the blanking covers provided.
Note
Function equipotential bonding for distributed DRIVE-CLiQ nodes
Integrate all of the components that are connected via DRIVE-CLiQ in the functional
equipotential bonding concept. The connection should be preferably established by mounting
on metallic bare machine and plant components that are connected with one another using an
equipotential bonding conductor.
Alternatively, you can establish equipotential bonding using a conductor (min. 6 mm²), which
as far as possible, is routed in parallel to the DRIVE-CLiQ cable. This applies to all distributed

A hinge connects the front cover to the front of the housing. In order to replace them, it can
easily be removed in the open state (45° angle) by pulling it slightly. It is installed in the same
way, at a 45° angle, by slightly pressing on the hinge.
Procedure
1. Release the latch on the inside of the front cover (the front cover is open and in the up
position) through slight pressure on it from the top.
2. Fold the front cover down to the front and bottom to give access to the interfaces.

7.7.3 Preparing the twisted pair cables
Function
The IE FC RJ45 Plugs are used to install uncrossed 100 Mbit/s Ethernet connections up to
100 m without the use of patches. Crossed cables can also be installed by swapping the
transmit and receive pair in a plug.
Prerequisite
When you set up your PROFINET system, you can cut the AWG 22 twisted pair cable on-site
to the required length, strip it with the Fast Connect Stripping Tool (for Industrial Ethernet),
and fit the Industrial Ethernet FastConnect RJ-45 Plugs using the cut-and-clamp technique.
Proceed as follows
Contacting of the FC cable versions is simple and reliable with the 4 integrated insulation
displacement contacts.
● When the plug case is open, color markings on the contact cover make it easier to connect
the cores to the insulation piercing connecting devices. The user can check that contact
has been made correctly through the transparent plastic material of the contact cover.
● The stripped end of the cable is inserted in the raised insulation displacement terminals
and the terminals are then pressed down to ensure reliable contacting of the conductors.

Longer cable lengths:

If you must realize greater cable lengths than permitted in one segment, you must use RS 485
repeaters. The maximum possible cable lengths between two RS 485 repeaters correspond
to the cable length of a segment. You can connect up to 9 RS 485 repeaters in series.
Note that an RS 485 repeater must be counted as a subnet node when determining the total
number of nodes to be connected. This is true even if the RS 485 repeater is not assigned its
own PROFIBUS address.

Connecting
7.8 PROFIBUS DP
Connector features
The bus connector is used to connect the PROFIBUS cables to the PROFIBUS DP interfaces
(X126, X136), thus establishing a connection to additional nodes.
Only bus connectors with a 35° cable outlet should be used in order to ensure that the front
cover can be closed.
Note
Increased cabling space using PROFIBUS adapter connectors
The adapter connector is required if the bus cable is to be looped through at the left-hand
PROFIBUS interface (X126) of the NCU (2 PROFIBUS cables are connected at the
connector) and at the same time the Ethernet interface X120 is connected to a FastConnect
connector. When using the adapter plug, the PROFIBUS connector is higher, which creates
extra wiring space.
7.8.3 Connection components in PROFIBUS
Connection components
Individual nodes are connected by means of bus connectors and PROFIBUS cables.
Remember to provide a bus connector with a programming port at either end of the subnet.
This will give you the option of expanding the subnet if required, for example, for a programming
device.
Use RS 485 repeaters to connect segments or extend cable lengths.
Segments
A segment is a bus line between two terminating resistors. A segment may contain up to 32
nodes. In addition, a segment is limited by the permissible cable length, which varies according
to the transmission rate.
Terminating resistor
A cable must be terminated with its own surge impedance to prevent line disturbances caused
by reflections. Activate the terminating resistor at the first and last node on a subnet or segment.
The NCU must be either the first or the last node on the subnet.
Make sure that the stations to which the terminating resistor is connected are always supplied
with voltage during power-up and operation.

7.8.4 Rules for the laying of PROFIBUS cables
Laying of bus cables

During laying of the PROFIBUS cable, you must avoid:
● twisting
● stretching and
● squeezing
Supplementary conditions
During laying of the indoor bus cable, you must also consider the following supplementary
conditions (dO = outer diameter of the cable):
Table 7-23 Supplementary conditions for the laying of PROFIBUS cables
Features Supplementary conditions

Bending radius for a single bend 80 mm (10xdO)
Bending radius (multiple times) 160 mm (20xdO)
Permissible temperature range for cable routing -5 °C to +50°C
Temperature range for storage and stationary operation -30°C to +65°C
For length codes of prefabricated cables and additional information on PROFIBUS cables,
refer to "Electrical networks" in the PROFIBUS section of the IK PI catalog titled "Industrial
Communication and Field Devices".
7.8.5 Connecting PROFIBUS DP
Introduction
PROFIBUS cables are connected to the X126/X136 interface by means of a bus connector.

68 Manual, 06/2014, 6FC5397-1EP40-5BA1
Connecting
7.8 PROFIBUS DP
Wiring the bus connector

1. Proceed as follows to connect the bus connector:
2. Plug the bus connector into the corresponding interface on the NCU.
3. Screw the bus connector into place.
As the NCU is located at the start or end of a segment, you must switch on the terminating
resistor ("ON" switch setting).

RII
Figure 7-10 Terminating resistor switched on and off
Note
Make sure that the stations on which the terminating resistor is located are always supplied
with voltage during booting and operation.
7.8.6 Disconnecting stations from the PROFIBUS
Removing the bus connector

You can remove the bus connector with a looped-through bus cable from the PROFIBUS DP
interface at any time without interrupting data traffic on the bus.
NOTICE
Data exchange on the bus can be interrupted!
A bus segment must always be terminated with the terminating resistor at both ends. This is
not the case, for example, if the last node with a bus connector is de-energized. Because the
bus connector takes its voltage from the node, this terminating resistor is ineffective.
Make sure that the nodes at which the terminating resistor is connected are always energized.
7.8.7 Operating the X136 interface as MPI
Applications
The X136 interface can also be operated as an MPI interface instead of a PROFIBUS DP
interface. 187.5 kbit/s is the typical (preset) data rate. A maximum data rate of 12 Mbit/s can
be set to communicate with other CPUs. However, it should be noted that the maximum data
rate is not supported by all CPUs (e.g. smaller SIMATIC S7 CPUs).

Manual, 06/2014, 6FC5397-1EP40-5BA1 69
Connecting
7.8 PROFIBUS DP
The following list provides examples of when using MPI (multi-point interface) may prove
effective:
● If a PC/PG with an MPI is being used
● If an MPI-type handheld unit is being used
Operate MPI like PROFIBUS

The information on wiring the connector (terminating resistors) for PROFIBUS and the rules
on the laying of cables for PROFIBUS apply to this interface as well. When carrying out this
procedure, consult the relevant references.
Connector features
The bus connector is used to connect the MPI bus cable to the MPI (X136). This enables you
to establish connections to additional nodes (e.g. PG or SIMATIC S7-CPU). Only bus
connectors with a 35° cable outlet should be used in order to ensure that the front cover can
be closed.
MPI bus cable

The PROFIBUS cable specifications apply here as well. Please note the relevant information
on setting up an MPI network.
Setting up an MPI network

Keep in mind the following basic rules when setting up an MPI network:
● When using the interface as an MPI interface, it is not possible to arrange additional control
for a drive in isochronous mode or to connect distributed I/Os to this interface.
● An MPI bus line must be terminated at both ends. This is achieved by activating the
terminating resistor in the MPI connector in the first and last station and deactivating the
other terminating resistors.
● At least one terminator must be supplied with 5 V.
This means that an MPI connector with an activated terminating resistor must be connected
to a device that is switched on.
● Spur lines (cables leading from the bus segment to the node) should be as short as possible,
i.e. < 5 m in length. Unused spur lines should be removed wherever possible.
● Every MPI station must be connected to the bus first and then activated.
To disconnect the station, it must first be deactivated. Then, the station can be removed
from the bus.
● Maximum cable lengths:
– 200 m per bus segment
– 2000 m total length with RS 485 repeaters

Connecting sensors and actuators

Digital inputs and outputs can be used to connect various sensors and actuators to the 14-pin
connectors X122 / X132 / X142 on the front panel. The interfaces are permanently assigned:
● X122 and X132: Drive
● X142: Control system
The following types of digital I/O are used:
● Digital inputs (isolated)
● Digital outputs
● Bidirectional digital inputs/outputs (only for drive terminals)
The assignment of I/Os to functions can be parameterized freely by the user. Special functions,
such as probe inputs (rapid inputs only) and cam outputs, can also be assigned to the inputs/
outputs.
The enables for the drive units and/or motors (Line Module, Motor Module) connected to the
NCU can be switched using the digital inputs.
Note
Terminal assignments
When commissioning the drive wizard, the digital inputs/outputs are correspondingly
preassigned functions.
For more information about terminal assignment, see:

follows:
● Connect the ground reference of the digital inputs.
● A jumper to terminal M (note that these digital inputs are then no longer electrically
isolated).
Note
For a transient (brief) voltage interruption of the 24 V supply, the digital outputs are switched
inactive for this time.

WARNING
Risk of fire through overheating if there are insufficient ventilation clearances
Inadequate ventilation clearances cause overheating with a risk for personnel due to smoke
and fire. Further, increased failures and shorter service life of the devices/systems can occur.
Under all circumstances, maintain a ventilation clearance of 80 mm above and below the NX
module.
An NX can be mounted in the control cabinet in the following ways:
NX on the side of the SINAMICS drive line-up

First, you must insert the supports into the cutouts of the NX that are attached to the Line
Module. Then the NX can be attached to the Line Module.
NX with spacer directly on the rear panel of the control cabinet - standard
The NX is secured with two M6 screws (6 Nm) to the mounting panel.
NX without spacer directly on the rear panel of the control cabinet

In addition, you can secure the NX directly on the rear panel of the control cabinet even without
spacers. Using this method, you must remove the spacer attached as standard when originally
supplied.
Note
The spacer is secured with M3 torx screws on the NX. You require a screwdriver T10 to attach/
remove the spacer.
1. Removing the holding plate.

2. Remove the angle plate.
3. Attach the holding plate to the NX using M3 screws (0.8 Nm).
4. Attach the NX with two M6 screws (6 Nm) to the mounting panel.
Mounting an NX to an additional NX
For stability reasons, you can connect the bracket of one NX to the clip of an adjacent NX:
1. Open the interface covers.
2. Release the screw fixing the bracket.
3. The bracket must be moved so that the pin is in the opening of the bracket. Tighten the
screw.
4. Close the interface covers.

DRIVE-CLiQ topology
NX components can be connected to the NCU via DRIVE-CLiQ. The following rules apply for
the wiring:
● Only one star topology is permitted between the NX and the NCU. In this way, only one NX
can be operated per DRIVE-CLiQ port of an NCU.
● DRIVE-CLiQ ports not assigned to NX can be wired to other DRIVE-CLiQ components.
● Once an NX has been connected and configured, you cannot simply insert it into a different
DRIVE-CLiQ port, as the addresses of the integrated drives are set permanently from the
point of view of the PLC. The following table illustrates this relation:

The "rapid inputs" can be used for position detection and as inputs of measuring inputs
depending on the terminal assignment used.
To enable digital inputs 0 to 3 to function, terminal M1 must be connected. This can be done
as follows:
● Connect the ground reference of the digital inputs.
● A jumper to terminal M (note that these digital inputs are then no longer electrically
isolated).
Note
For a transient (brief) voltage interruption of the 24 V supply, the digital outputs are switched
inactive for this time.

Requirements placed on the DC power supply
WARNING
The DC power supply must be connected to the ground/shield of the I/O module for EMC
and/or functional reasons. For EMC reasons, this connection should only be made at one
point; see also EMC Installation Guide.
Table 9-13 Requirements of the DC power supply
Rated voltage According to EN 61131-2 24 V DC

Voltage range (dynamic) 18.5 to 30.2 V DC
Voltage ripple peak-to-peak 5% (unfiltered 6-pulse
rectification)
Transient voltage interruptions Outage time ≤ 3 ms
Digital inputs
The 24 V supplied at X1 are used to supply the 72 digital inputs.
If the internal supply voltage is not used to supply the digital inputs, this can optionally be
replaced by an external power supply (24 V DC). The reference ground of the power supply
source must each be connected with X111, X222, X333, pin 1 (GND). X111, X222, X333, pin
2 (P24OUT) then remains open.
Digital outputs
To supply (24 V DC) the digital outputs, an additional external power supply source is required.
The power supply is connected to terminals X111, X222 and X333 via pins 47, 48, 49 and 50
(DOCOMx). Ground pins must be connected to a common chassis ground.

Manual, 06/2014, 6FC5397-1EP40-5BA1 101
9.2 PP 72/48D PN
Maximum current consumption: 3 x 4 A if all outputs are used simultaneously.
Note
It is the user's responsibility to ensure that the max. current consumption per DOCOMx pin
(X111, X222, X333: Pins 47, 48, 49, 50) does not exceed 1 A. The power supply (+24 V DC)
for the digital outputs must therefore be connected to all 4 pins per DOCOMx (X111, X222,
X333: pins 47, 48, 49, 50).
Wiring the power supply
Table 9-14 Pin assignment at X1 screw-type terminal block

9.2.3.3 X2 PROFINET
Data Transmission Rate and Cables

For PROFINET, you require a data transmission rate of 100 Mbit/s (Fast Ethernet). The
interfaces are designed for full-duplex mode; in other words, the ports can both transmit and
receive. For data transfer purposes you can use electrical twisted copper cables (twisted pair,
4-wire, 100Base-T):
● The transmission characteristics of these cables must meet the requirements of CAT5.
● The maximum length of the connections between the end device and network component
or between two network components (e.g. switch ports) must not exceed 100 m.

on on PROFINET functionality
on on on on on on on on DCP mode
The switch positions 9 and 10 guarantee the PROFINET functionality of the module and must
always be switched "on".
DCP mode
In this mode, there is no default device name.
The device name must be set using initialization and remains saved on the I/O module. It is
first deleted when the factory setting is restored, e.g. using STEP7.
Default device names

The switch positions 1 to 8 define the default device name of the I/O module.
There are up to 128 default device names. If these default device names are used, there is no
need for initialization.
Note
The default device names cannot be reconfigured using the STEP7 "device initialization"
facility, for example.
If you are connecting the I/O module to a SINUMERIK controller as a PROFINET component,
make sure that this functionality is supported by the controller concerned.

9.3.1 Description
Characteristics
The I/O module is a simple module (without a separate enclosure) for connecting digital and
analog input/outputs as part of an automation system based on PROFINET IO.
The module has the following important features:
● 72 digital inputs and 48 digital outputs
● 2 analog inputs and 2 analog outputs
Analog process signals such as for detecting temperatures or controlling hydraulic
workholders can be implemented via analog inputs/outputs.
● PROFINET IO connection (max. 100 Mbits/s)
● On-board status display via 6 LEDs
● The 3 plug-in connectors for the digital inputs and outputs are 50-pin terminal posts for

9.3.4.2 X1 power supply
Properties
This interface is intended exclusively for the connection of the external 24 V power supply.
On the module side, the power supplies are protected against:
● Polarity reversal
● Short-circuit (elec. current limitation of the outputs)
● Overload (self-restoring PTC fuse - Multifuse)
Requirements placed on the DC power supply
WARNING
The DC power supply must be connected to the ground/shield of the I/O module for EMC
and/or functional reasons. For EMC reasons, this connection should only be made at one
point; see also EMC Installation Guide.

9.3 PP 72/48D 2/2A PN
Transient voltage interruptions Outage time ≤ 3 ms
Digital inputs
The 24 V supplied at X1 are used to supply the 72 digital inputs.
If the internal supply voltage is not used to supply the digital inputs, this can optionally be
replaced by an external power supply (24 V DC). The reference ground of the power supply
source must each be connected with X111, X222, X333, pin 1 (GND). X111, X222, X333, pin
2 (P24OUT) then remains open.
Digital outputs
To supply (24 V DC) the digital outputs, an additional external power supply source is required.
The power supply is connected to terminals X111, X222 and X333 via pins 47, 48, 49 and 50
(DOCOMx). Ground pins must be connected to a common chassis ground.
Maximum current consumption: 3 x 4 A if all outputs are used simultaneously.
Note
It is the user's responsibility to ensure that the max. current consumption per DOCOMx pin
(X111, X222, X333: Pins 47, 48, 49, 50) does not exceed 1 A. The power supply (+24 V DC)
for the digital outputs must therefore be connected to all 4 pins per DOCOMx (X111, X222,
X333: pins 47, 48, 49, 50).
Analog inputs/outputs
The inputs and outputs are supplied with power on-board, i.e. no further external power supply
units are required.

The required 24 V DC load power supply is wired to the screw-type terminal block (X1).
DANGER
The 24 V direct voltage is to be configured as an extra-low voltage with protective separation
- DVC A or PELV according to EN 61800-5-1.
Power cables
Table 9-36 Cable specification at X1
Connection option Up to 2.5 mm2
Current carrying capacity max. 10 A
Use flexible cables with a cross-section of 0.25 to 2.5 mm2 (or AWG 23 to AWG 13) for wiring
the power supply according to the maximum current that flows.
If you only use one wire per connection, an end sleeve is not required.
You can use end sleeves without an insulating collar in accordance with DIN 46228, Form A
long version.
9.3.4.3 X2 PROFINET
Data Transmission Rate and Cables

For PROFINET, you require a data transmission rate of 100 Mbit/s (Fast Ethernet). The
interfaces are designed for full-duplex mode; in other words, the ports can both transmit and
receive. For data transfer purposes you can use electrical twisted copper cables (twisted pair,
4-wire, 100Base-T):
● The transmission characteristics of these cables must meet the requirements of CAT5.
● The maximum length of the connections between the end device and network component
or between two network components (e.g. switch ports) must not exceed 100 m.

The switch positions 9 and 10 guarantee the PROFINET functionality of the module and must
always be switched "on".
DCP mode
In this mode, there is no default device name.
The device name must be set using initialization and remains saved on the I/O module. It is
first deleted when the factory setting is restored, e.g. using STEP7.

122 Manual, 06/2014, 6FC5397-1EP40-5BA1
9.3 PP 72/48D 2/2A PN
Default device names

The switch positions 1 to 8 define the default device name of the I/O module.
There are up to 128 default device names. If these default device names are used, there is no
need for initialization.
Note
The default device names cannot be reconfigured using the STEP7 "device initialization"
facility, for example.
If you are connecting the I/O module to a SINUMERIK controller as a PROFINET component,
make sure that this functionality is supported by the controller concerned.

The analog signal to be measured is connected to the terminals AI 1+/- and AI 2+/-. AI stands for "Analog
Input". The CO "Current Output" and CI "Current Input" terminals supply the constant current for the 4-
wire measurement of PT100 elements.
Analog inputs
The module has two analog inputs. These can optionally be assigned parameters as voltage,
current or PT100 input.
Note
The analog inputs are only enabled following the parameter assignment.

Note
If the PT100 operating mode is selected, the hardware is protected against overvoltage.
In the event of an error the following occurs:
1. An error bit is set which is then communicated to the PLC.
2. The module is shut down.
Measurement using a 4-wire connection system

Notes regarding the connection and operation of PT100 resistors:
This enables the module to supply X3 with a constant current via the CO1, CI1, CO2 and CI2
terminals. The constant current is fed to the resistor to be measured where it is then measured
as the voltage drop. It is imperative to wire the connected constant current cables directly to
the resistor.
Measurements with 4-wire connections compensate for line resistances and return a
considerably higher degree of precision in comparison with 2-wire connections.

Measurement using a 3-wire connection system

The following pins must be jumpered at connector X3 in order to perform the measurement in
the PT100 using a 3-wire connection system:
● Temperature measurement with channel 1:
Short-circuit pin 2 (CI 1) and pin 4 (AI 1-) and connect the jumper at connector X3
● Temperature measurement with channel 2:
Short-circuit pin 6 (CI 2) and pin 8 (AI 2-) and connect the jumper at connector X3.
Note
Measuring accuracy
The accuracy of the temperature input becomes poorer: The resistance of the connecting
cable of the jumpered connecting cable falsifies the measurement.
Analog outputs
The module has two analog outputs. These can optionally be assigned parameters as voltage
or current output.
Note
The analog outputs are only enabled following the parameter assignment.
From the switch-on of the I/O module to when it is enabled, the analog outputs do not read
0 V, but are defined by a voltage pulse at -0.2 V. This value must be taken into consideration
when specifying the setpoint value.
The cycle time of the analog value accumulation is limited by the PLC cycle.

9.3.5.2 Assigning parameters to the analog inputs / outputs
Operating mode
Parameters are assigned to the operating mode via the m+0 byte (Analog Control Byte 0) of
the output image of the analog outputs:

4) 4) 3) 3) 2) 2) 1) 1)
m+1 Reserved Data
format
m+2 Reserved
m+3 Reserved
The reserved bits must be preassigned with the value "0".

The operating mode is set to "no operating mode" during power-up, as soon as a valid setting
is made this will be applied and will subsequently no longer be reset. If a reset is initiated by
the user, this is interpreted as an error.
Type of control
The control type must be specified in the Analog Control Byte m+1 (bit 0), so that the 16 bit
input and output values from and for the analog module are correctly interpreted by the control.
In the SINUMERIK 840D sl control, the value "1" must be entered here.
Note
The control type must be set prior to the operating mode so that the first set of user data is
not misinterpreted. In addition to this, the Analog Control Byte m+0 / m+1 must only be
accessed byte by byte.
Assigning parameters to the analog inputs

The analog inputs (AI) can be operated in the following operating modes:
Operating mode 1st channel Bit 1 Bit 0

No operating mode 0 0
Voltage measurement 0 1
Current measurement 1 0
Temperature measurement (Pt100) 1 1
Operating mode 2nd channel Bit 3 Bit 2

Assigning parameters to the analog outputs

The analog outputs (AO) can be operated in the following operating modes:
Operating mode 3rd channel Bit 5 Bit 4

Voltage output 0 1
Current output 1 0
Impermissible operating mode 1 1
Operating mode 4th channel Bit 7 Bit 6

Voltage output 0 1
Current output 1 0
Impermissible operating mode 1 1
Checkback signal of the operating modes

The set operating modes are saved in the input image in Status Byte 0. This value must be
compared with Control Byte 0 in the output image. If these are different, an error has occurred,
e. g. in the case of overvoltage in the "Temperature measurement" operating mode, see
Diagnostics via input image (Page 142).

Note
If a Pt100 element is accidentally not connected in this operating mode and an input voltage
higher than 0.25 V is output, the analog module automatically switches to the "no operating
mode" operating mode and resets the gain factor to "1". This is signalized in Status Word 0
(channel-specific) in the input image. In addition, a corresponding error code is output in the
diagnostics slot at a counter value of "2".
In the case of operation without a Pt100 element, a slightly negative voltage may be applied,
which results in an error status for the module. Here, the "PNFault" LED and the status byte
1 are to be observed.
