Instructions for transferring the

SINUMERIK HMI to an external screen

SINUMERIK 828D with UltraVNC-Viewer and Notebook

In many cases it may be useful to transfer the SINUMERIK HMI on an


external monitor, be it a notebook, a monitor or other display or projector. In
particular, for training purposes or presentations is a great representation of
SINUMERIK HMI very helpful.
About the RJ45 Ethernet port on the front of the SINUMERIK 828D a
connection between the controller and notebook will be established using
the UltraVNC Viewer. The SINUMERIK HMI appear as an extra window on
the notebook. This signal can be transferred to another monitor or other
display.
A detailed description of the procedure can be found in this document.

1. Introduction
To display the contents of the SINUMERIK HMI on an external display, you need a physical connection and
special software, which transfers the image of the controller (server) to another laptop / computer (client).
From the notebook or the computer the signal can then be passed on to another monitor / display.

UltraVNC (even Ultr @ VNC, UVNC) is a Virtual Network Computing software for Microsoft Windows operating
systems and is used for remote maintenance of computers. This has powerful techniques for intercepting the
server screen (SINUMERIK HMI). From the client (laptop / computer), the controller can be operated remotely
and via mouse and keyboard.
To transfer the SINUMERIK HMI to an external monitor, you need the following components:
• SINUMERIK 828D
• Network cable (connecting SINUMERIK 828D and notebook / computer)
• External monitor / screen / display / TV
• VGA / HMDI cable (connecting laptop / computer to the external display)
• notebook / computer with a Windows operating system
• UltraVNC-Viewer (OpenSource Software www.uvnc.com)
The following descriptions are intended for operators of CNC machines who have experience with or
knowledge of the SINUMERIK CNC with SINUMERIK Operate user interface. Basic knowledge of network
technology and experience with the Windows operating systems are helpful.
