HEIDENHAIN CNC PILOT 640 581

8.3 Transfer

The Transfer mode is used for data backup and data exchange via

networks or USB devices. When we speak of "files" in the following,

we mean programs, parameters and tool data. The following file types

can be transferred:

 Programs (cycle programs, smart.Turn programs, DIN main and

subprograms, ICP contour descriptions)

 Parameters

 Tool data

Data backup

HEIDENHAIN recommends backing up the tool data and programs

created on CNC PILOT on an external device at regular intervals.

You should also back up the parameters. Since the parameters are not

changed very often, however, you only need to back up the

parameters from time to time, as required.

Data exchange with TNCremo

HEIDENHAIN offers the PC program TNCremo to complement the

CNC PILOT control. This program enables you to access the control

data from a PC.

External access

The soft key EXTERNAL ACCESS can be used to grant or restrict

access through the LSV-2 interface.

Permitting/Restricting external access:

 Select the Organization mode

 Enable a connection to the control: Set the EXTERNAL

ACCESS soft key to ON. The TNC will then permit

data access through the LSV-2 interface.

 Disable connections to the control: Set the

EXTERNAL ACCESS soft key to OFF. The TNC will

then disable access through the LSV-2 interface

The machine tool builder can configure the external access

options. Refer to your machine manual.
