FAQs for Commissioning uaGate 840D1. Which NCU Control Types are Supported?

Currently only SINUMERIK 840D sl NCU 7x0.3 PN is supported.

2. Which Software Versions of SINUMERIK 840D sl are Supported?SINUMERIK 840D sl must have a software version higher than V4.3.

3. How Do I Connect uaGate 840 to SINUMERIK 840D sl?uaGate 840D is connected to SINUMERIK 840D sl via the MACHINE Ethernet interface.

For connecting uaGate 840D to SINUMERIK 840D sl, ideally the interface X120 (operator panel interface) or alternatively the interface X130 (company network interface) is used. The SINUMERIK 840D sl interface X127 (startup and remote diagnostics interface) should not be used.

Notes on Using the SINUMERIK 840D sl interface X120

The advantage of interface X120 is that it is not isolated by a firewall. The (fixed) IP address 192.168.214.1 is preset at interface X120. uaGate 840D should be connected using a fixed IP address in a higher IP range (e.g., 192.168.214.250).

Notes on Using the SINUMERIK 840D sl interface X130

For uaGate 840D operation via interface X130, the NCU firewall (Port TCP/102) must be enabled.
