This course emphasizes the maintenance aspects of the control. A complete overview of the softkey menus of the SINUMERIK D-series control is provided, including the basic principles of operating the control. Demonstrations are given on how to competently manage maintenance functions and how-to backup and restore the PLC program and control data.
Class format is predominately hands-on exercises. SINUMERIK 840D CNC simulators are utilized for the student to build proficiency in moving through various menus and managing data. This course DOES NOT cover the SIMATIC S7 PLC language. Students who must troubleshoot the PLC user program should attend the SIMATIC S7 Programming I course.
