Fundamental safety instructions 1
1.1 General safety instructions
WARNING
Electric shock and danger to life due to other energy sources
Touching live components can result in death or severe injury.
● Only work on electrical devices when you are qualified for this job.
● Always observe the country-specific safety rules.
Generally, the following six steps apply when establishing safety:
1. Prepare for disconnection. Notify all those who will be affected by the procedure.
2. Isolate the drive system from the power supply and take measures to prevent it being
switched back on again.
3. Wait until the discharge time specified on the warning labels has elapsed.
4. Check that there is no voltage between any of the power connections, and between any
of the power connections and the protective conductor connection.
5. Check whether the existing auxiliary supply circuits are de-energized.
6. Ensure that the motors cannot move.
7. Identify all other dangerous energy sources, e.g. compressed air, hydraulic systems, or
water. Switch the energy sources to a safe state.
8. Check that the correct drive system is completely locked.
After you have completed the work, restore the operational readiness in the inverse sequence.
WARNING
Electric shock due to connection to an unsuitable power supply
When equipment is connected to an unsuitable power supply, exposed components may
carry a hazardous voltage that might result in serious injury or death.
● 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, 07/2018, A5E43199783B AB 5
Fundamental safety instructions
WARNING
Electric shock due to equipment damage
Improper handling may cause damage to equipment. 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
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
Electric shock if there is no ground connection
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
Spread of fire from built-in devices
In the event of fire outbreak, the enclosures of built-in devices cannot prevent the escape of
fire and smoke. This can result in serious personal injury or property damage.
● Install built-in units in a suitable metal cabinet in such a way that personnel are protected
against fire and smoke, or take other appropriate measures to protect personnel.
● Ensure that smoke can only escape via controlled and monitored paths.

6 Manual, 07/2018, A5E43199783B AB
WARNING
Unexpected movement of machines caused by radio devices or mobile phones
When radio devices or mobile phones with a transmission power > 1 W are used in the
immediate vicinity of components, they may cause the equipment to malfunction.
Malfunctions may impair the functional safety of machines and can therefore put people in
danger or lead to property damage.
● If you come closer than around 2 m to such components, switch off any radios or mobile
phones.
● Use the "SIEMENS Industry Online Support app" only on equipment that has already been
switched off.
WARNING
Fire due to inadequate 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
Unexpected movement of machines caused by inactive safety functions
Inactive or non-adapted safety functions can trigger unexpected machine movements that
may result in 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, 07/2018, A5E43199783B AB 7

Mounting 5
5.1 Introduction
Before assembling the two components, the interface cables of the operator panel front (IO/
USB cable K1, K2 display cable and, if necessary, K3) must be inserted into the corresponding
base of the MCP (visible behind the housing cut-out).
Note
Since some of the interfaces do not have a cable strain relief for the cables to be connected,
it is recommended to secure the cables to the u-shaped lugs on the supporting plate using
cable ties.
WARNING
Electric shock in the event of an individual error when grounding is insufficient
If the device is installed in an environment with hazardous voltages with insufficient grounding,
this may cause an electric shock in the event of an individual error, which can lead to death,
serious injury and property damage.
To prevent electric shocks, sufficiently ground the conductive parts of the panel according to
the nationally applicable regulations. To do this, use the relevant fuse ratings of the circuits
with hazardous voltages for the possible individual error scenarios as the basis for
dimensioning the protective conductor connection.
WARNING
Electric shock in the event of an individual error when the rear cover is missing
If the rear cover is missing when mounting the device in an environment with hazardous
voltage, a conductor with a hazardous voltage can come loose in the event of a normative
permissible individual error and touch parts of the printed-circuit board and cause electric
shocks. Due to its design, the printed-circuit board cannot trigger the overcurrent protection
of the circuit with hazardous voltage.
For this reason, protect areas of the printed-circuit board that are not adequately enclosed
by grounded sheet metal parts with a cover, when installed in an environment with hazardous
voltages. If this cover is made of conductive material, it must be safely grounded. See "Electric
shock in the event of an individual error when grounding is insufficient".
To avoid electric shocks, mount a rear cover on the device when installing it in an environment
with hazardous voltage.

Mounting
5.2 Mounting
WARNING
Parasitic voltage
If the device is installed in an environment with higher / more hazardous voltages with
insufficient insulation, parasitic voltages can lead to death, serious injury and property
damage.
To prevent parasitic voltages, insulate the cables corresponding to the highest voltage that
will be dealt with.
The safety of a system with an integrated MCP with operator panel front is the responsibility
of the person setting up the system.
Observe all relevant information from this manual regarding the mounting of the chosen
operator panel front.
The mounting at the installation site is performed in accordance with the instructions of the
chosen operator panel front.
5.2 Mounting
The MCP 398C machine control panel can be combined with the TOP XX00 operator panel
fronts as well as with the expansion modules.

Connecting
Note
When connecting an external 24 VDC power supply to interfaces X51, X52 and X55, this must
satisfy the requirements of a protective extra low voltage (PELV) according to UL 61010. A
backup fuse must also be used which safely trips within 120 seconds at an ambient
temperature of 0° C for a current of 6.5 A.
Alternatively, a circuit must be used that limits the current to 5 A within 60 seconds during
normal operation and in the event of an individual error.
The contact gap of the fuse or the individual error-proof circuit must be ensured with 3.0 mm
according to UL 61010 for a primary power supply from OVC III circuits up to 600 VAC (line-
to-neutral voltage).
When using an external power supply, make sure that the fuse used has a tripping rating that
corresponds to the maximum possible short-term short-circuit current of the power supply unit
used.

Note
Damage to components by coolants and lubricants
The SINUMERIK operator components have been designed for industrial use, particularly on
machine tools and production machines. This also takes into account the use of commercially
available coolants and lubricants. The use of aggressive compounds and additives can
damage components and result in their failure.
Avoid contact between the operator components with coolants and lubricants, as resistance
to all coolants and lubricants cannot be guaranteed.

Requirements for DC power supplies
WARNING
Electric shock due to connection of an unsuitable power supply
When equipment is connected to an unsuitable power supply and/or insufficiently grounded
or rear cover (Page 35), exposed components may carry a hazardous voltage that might
result in serious injury or death.
● Only use power supplies that provide SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) or PELV
(Protective Extra Low Voltage) output voltages acc. to UL 61010 for all connections and
terminals of the electronics modules.

Manual, 07/2018, A5E43199783B AB 57
Technical data
WARNING
Inadequately fused supply cables can be life-threatening
In the case of supply lines > 10 m, protectors must be installed at the device input in order to
protect against lightning (surge).
The DC power supply must be connected to the ground/shield of the NC for EMC and/or
functional reasons. For EMC reasons, this connection should only be made at one point. As
a rule, the connection is provided as standard in the S7-300 I/Os. In exceptional
circumstances when this is not the case, the ground connection should be made on the
grounding rail of the NC cabinet (also refer to /EMC/EMC Installation Guide.)

9.1.2 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 Pushbutton Panel (MPP)
● Keyboard
● Operator panels (operator panel front + TCU/PCU)
● Distributor box and handheld unit
● S7-300 I/O with IM 153 interface module

58 Manual, 07/2018, A5E43199783B AB
Technical data
Grounding measures
The individual modules are attached to a metal cabinet panel. Insulating paints on the mounting
points (e.g. tension jacks) must be removed.
It is permissible to cluster the operator control components regarding connection/potential
bonding.
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.
Please note that interruption of the grounding during maintenance work is not permissible.

EMC Design Guidelines
9.1.3 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.
Shielded signal cables

● Use the specified cables for safe and fault-free operation of the system.
● Connect the shield conductively at both ends to the housing for digital signal transmission.
Cable definition
Definition:
● Signal cables (example)
– Data cables (Ethernet, PROFIBUS, sensor cables, etc.)
– Digital I/Os
– Cables for safety functions (emergency stop, enabling)
● Power cables (example)
– Low-voltage supply lines (230 VAC, +24 VDC, etc.)
– Motor cables

Rules for routing cables

In order to achieve the greatest possible EMC compatibility for the complete system (control,
power unit, machine), the following EMC measures must be carefully observed:
● If necessary, signal and power 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 Control Unit.
● Signal cables must 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).
● The operator panel fronts, MCPs, MPPs, and full keyboards must be installed in metallically
enclosed EMC-compatible housings.
Further information on RFI suppression measures and the connection of shielded cables can
be found in the EMC Installation Guidelines.
9.1.4 SINUMERIK_SouthKorea_Note
EMC limit values in South Korea
The EMC limit values to be complied with for South Korea correspond to the limit values of the
EMC product standard for variable-speed electric drives EN 61800-3, Category C2, or limit
value class A, Group 1 according to EN 55011. By applying suitable supplementary measures,
the limit values according to Category C2 or according to limit value class A, Group 1, are
maintained. Further, additional measures may be required, for instance, using an additional
radio interference suppression filter (EMC filter).
The measures for EMC-compliant design of the system are described in detail in this manual
respectively in the Installation Guideline EMC.
Please note that the final statement on compliance with the standard is given by the respective
label attached to the individual unit.
