Operational modes
Manually controlled operation
The manually controlled operation is allowed in the operating mode "JOG" and in the operating
mode "MDA". Refer to chapter 5 "Manually controlled operation" of the instructions "SINU-
MERIK 828 D".
Automatic mode
Refer to chapter 6 "Automatic mode" of the instructions "SINUMERIK 828 D".

Programming
For further working steps please proceed as described in the operating instructions "Part pro-
gramming, system, programming and cycles“ for "SINUMERIK 828 D".
Manual resp. part programming:
For this kind of programming, the programs must be created manually and entered in the con-
trol. The direct programming in the DIN-Code is a complex method which requires lots of
skills.Nowadays this task is mostly taken over by CAD/CAM systems which directly create an
operating program using a graphical user interface.
Automatic programming:
By means of the CAD/CAM program (for instance a 3D-CAD program including downstream
co-processor) construction data are transmitted (semi-)automatically to an executable pro-
gram. For this kind of programming a 3D model is designed using a PC. By means of an oper-
ating sequence which is predefined by the user the motion-sequence of the machine are being
calculated. These programs are accessing the tool data base which includes all tool parameters
(speed, feed, diameter, etc.). Due to this systematic program structure the user is able to create
complete programs within shortest time without having any knowledge of the individual program
commands and its syntax.
As aid for training and operation we recommend to use the software SinuTrain made by
Siemens.
SinuTrain is the ideal software supplement for the CNC milling machine F150 made by OPTI-
MUM.
This training software supports the rapid training for the operation of the control Sinumerik
SINUMERIK 828 D. Employees having little CNC experience can learn the basics of the DIN
programming by using SinuTrain and are finally able to write and test programs using SINU-
MERIK 828 D-cycles.
Please find SinuTrain and further information on the website of Siemens.

Start program
If necessary, open the setting screw for the coolant / lubricant supply on the spindle head
before starting the program. It is only allowed to change the dosing during the setup operation.
If necessary the cooling lubricant supply is switched on via your CNC-program.
WARNING!
Never change the dosing of the cooling lubricant supply and never seize into the machine when
a program is running.
