Networking
SINUMERIK ONE offers integrated PROFINET functionality.
PROFINET IO is supported:
• As part of PROFINET, PROFINET IO is a communication concept that is used to implement
modular, distributed applications. PROFINET IO is based on Industrial Ethernet and allows
distributed field and I/O equipment to be connected to the central processing unit.
• At the NCU up to 255 PROFINET IO devices can be operated at interface X150 as IO controller,
and up to 128 PROFINET IO devices at interface X160.

Variants
The scalability of the hardware and software – both from a CNC perspective and in terms of
operation – means the SINUMERIK ONE can be used in many sectors. The possibilities range from
simple positioning tasks up to complex multi-axis systems.
Application areas and performance
• On the NCU, the number of axes and/or the performance of the drive control can be increased
to 12 axes. This is achieved through the use of the NX modules. The NCU can be expanded
by up to 5 NX modules for increased performance of the drive control and number of axes.
• Using an NCU 1740 is recommended for maximum dynamic performance and accuracy in
mold making or in the high-speed cutting sector.
The following table shows the key characteristics of the various NCU versions:
