Other functions not described in this documentation might be
executable in the control. This does not, however, represent an
obligation to supply such functions with a new control or when
servicing.
Principle

Your SINUMERIK 840D/840Di/810D with ShopTurn is designed using
state-of-the-art technology in conformity with recognized safety
regulations, standards and specifications.

Supplementary devices

The applications of Siemens controls can be expanded by adding
special additional devices, equipment and expansions supplied by
Siemens.

Personnel

Only properly trained, authorized, reliable personnel must be
allowed to use this equipment. No-one without the necessary training
must be allowed to operate the control, even temporarily.
The areas of responsibility assigned to personnel involved in setting
up, operating and maintaining the equipment must be clearly
specified and their compliance verified.

Procedure

Before the control is started up, personnel responsible for its
operation must have read and understood the Operator's Guides. The
company used this equipment is also obliged to carry out continuous
monitoring of the overall technical condition of the equipment (with a
view to identifying externally visible defects and damage as well as
changes in the operating behavior of the control).

Service

Repairs to equipment may only be carried out by personnel specially
trained and qualified for the application in question in accordance
with the provisions specified in the maintenance and servicing guides.
All relevant safety regulations must be followed.
The following are deemed as improper usage and exclude the
manufacturer from all liability:

vi

•

Any usage or application incompatible with or beyond the scope of
the items specified above.

•

Cases where the control is operated in a technically imperfect
condition, without due provision for safety considerations and/or

hazards, or in contravention with any of the instructions in the
Instruction Manual.

•

Cases where faults which could affect safety are not remedied
before starting up the control.

•

Any modification, bypassing or decommissioning of
equipment on the control whose intended purpose is to ensure
proper functioning, unrestricted use of equipment and/or active
and passive safety.

Explanation of parameters
Additional notes
Software option
The function described is a software option, i.e. the function can be
executed on the control only if you have purchased and enabled the
appropriate option.

Warnings

The following five warnings with varying levels of severity are used in
this document.
Danger
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will
result in death or serious injury or in substantial property damage.
Warning
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could
result in death or serious injury or in substantial property damage.
Caution

Used without safety alert symbol indicates a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, may result in property damage.
Notice
Used without the safety alert symbol indicates a potential situation which, if not avoided, may result in an undesirable result or
state.

Machine manufacturer

The following reference appears wherever particular features or
functions might have been changed or supplemented by the machine
manufacturer:
Please also refer to the machine manufacturer's instructions.

Operator's Guide.

Terms

Some of the basic terms used in this document are defined below.
Program
A program is a sequence of instructions to the CNC which combine to
produce a specific workpiece on the machine.
Contour
The term contour refers generally to the outline of a workpiece.
More specifically, it refers to the section of the program that defines
the outline of a workpiece comprising individual elements.
Cycle
A cycle, e.g. tapping, is a subroutine defined in ShopTurn for
executing a frequently repeated machining operation
(a cycle is sometimes also referred to as a function).
Spindles/axes
The various spindles/axes are designated as follows in this document:

ShopTurn
ShopTurn is an operating and programming software program for
turning machines that makes it easy for you to operate the machine
and to program workpieces.
Important features of the software are:

1-18

Setting up the machine

Special measurement cycles make it easier to gauge the tools and the
workpiece.

Executing a program

You can display the execution of a program on the screen threedimensionally.
This makes it easy for you to check the result of programming and to
trace the machining of the workpiece at the machine.

Creating a program

The workpiece is programmed with ease using ShopTurn because
graphical techniques are used and no knowledge of G codes is required.
ShopTurn displays the program as a clearly understandable process
plan and presents the individual cycles and contour elements in a
dynamic graphic.

The powerful contour calculator allows any contours to be specified.
A stock removal cycle complete with detection of residual material
saves unnecessary machining.

Tool management

ShopTurn saves your tool data. The software can also manage the
data for tools that are not in the tool turret.

Program management

Programs can be created simply by copying and modifying similar
programs; there is no need to start again from the beginning.

Remote diagnosis

You can also switch from ShopTurn into the CNC-ISO operator interface. Here it is possible to activate remote diagnosis that allows the
machine to be operated via an external computer.

1.1.1 Procedure
Two typical working situations are considered separately in this
Guide.

Executing a program

•

You want to execute a program for the purpose of automatically
machining a workpiece.

•

You want to create the program to be used for machining a
workpiece.

Before you execute a program, you have to set up your machine. You
must perform the following steps with the support of ShopTurn (see
the Section "Setting up the machine"):
•

Approaching the reference point of the machine
(only for incremental position measuring systems)

•

Gauging tools

•

Defining the workpiece zero

• Entering any other work offsets
When you have finished setting up the machine, you can select a
program and execute it automatically (see Section "Machining the
workpiece").
Creating a program

On creating a new program you can choose whether to set up a
ShopTurn program or a G code program (see "Creating a ShopTurn
program" or "G code program").
On creation of a ShopTurn program, ShopTurn prompts you to enter
all the relevant parameters. As the program progresses, this is automatically indicated by the appearance of blocks in a progress bar.
Help screens that explain the parameters in each operation also
support you with programming.
You can, of course, also insert G code commands in a ShopTurn
program.
A G code program must however be completely generated from G
code commands.

Workstation
A ShopTurn workstation comprises an operator panel and a machine
control panel in addition to the turning machine complete with a CNC-/
positioning control.

Turning machine

You can use ShopTurn on a single-slide turning machine with three

axes, one main spindle, one tool spindle and one counterspindle.

Control

ShopTurn runs on the SINUMERIK 840D/840Di/810D CNC with
PCU 20 and PCU 50.

Operator panel

Communication with ShopTurn takes place via the operator panel.

Machine control panel

You operate the turning machine using the machine control panel.

1.2.1 Coordinate system

When a workpiece is machined on a turning machine, a rectangular
coordinate system is assumed. This comprises the three coordinate
axes X, Y and Z parallel to the machine axes. It is not essential that
coordinate axis Y is set up. The spindle axis Z, which can be rotated
through any angle, is a separate axis of rotation and is designated
as C.
The positions of the coordinate system and the machine zero depend
on the type of machine used.

M = Machine zero
W = Workpiece zero

workpiece zero (example)
