The term ”SINUMERIK 8X0” is used in this description as a short form for ”SINUMERIK 840/880”. Technical information This documentation applies to software version 1 and higher in the case of SINUMERIK 840 and 840C to software version 3 and higher in the case of SINUMERIK 880 GA2 to software version 1.

A computer link can be realised using a bus connection or using one of many serial connections. The following figure shows the SIEMENS computer systems used for CAD, FMS, NC Archive and PPC as well as the RC, NC and PLC systems on a common bus cable. If older systems are to be connected to the bus, e.g.
(opposite: closed networks). 1.1.5 SINEC AP 1 SINEC AP 1 is the Siemens Network Architecture Automation Protocol Version 1, a Siemens automation protocol. It was developed for the integration of the following systems in a factory automation system: •...
One or several logical peers can be served via a TPV transport connection. (When connecting the SINUMERIK 8X0 to the Siemens FMS only one logical peer per transport connection is allowed.) The ”logical peer” is determined by the addressing in the application layer alone in the case of a serial connection.
At present there are no uniform international standards for layers 5 to 7 of the OSI model for the NC applications. As a first step to standardization of OSI layers 5 to 7 within the company, Siemens have therefore defined the AP 1 automation protocol. It is suitable for use on all Siemens automation devices.

The PROTID characterizes the protocol version. For SINEC AP1.0 it is preset with Hex. MPXADR =00 (Multiplex Address) Multiplexing in layer 7 is not used with connection to Siemens FMS systems. COMCLS =04 (Command Class) COMCLS describes global functions;04 means serial transfer.
SINUMERIK 8X0 systems permits the use of different protocols on the application layer. For this purpose, the SINEC Technological Functions (STF) have been defined by Siemens as a common level-7 protocol. The SINEC Technological Functions are fully compatible with ISO 9506 (MMS), parts 1 and 2 with regard to the scope of functions and can thus easily be integrated in MAP 3.0.

Note: For reasons of compatibility a maximum message frame length of 224 bytes must be used with links to Siemens FMS systems or SINUMERIK 850. The maximum message frame length can be set via machine data . In case of larger data volumes, subsequent message frames are sent until all data has been transmitted.
