8.3 Transfer
Data transfer options
The CNC PILOT manages DIN programs, DIN subprograms, cycle
programs and ICP contours in different directories. When you select
"Program group," the control automatically switches to the applicable
directory.
Parameters and tool data are stored under the file name entered for
backup name and saved to a ZIP file located in the "para" or "tool" folder
on the control. You can then send this backup file to a project folder in
the remote station.
The following transfer functions are available:
 Programs: Transmitting and receiving files
 Back up parameters: Creating, transmitting and receiving
 Restore parameters: Reloading the parameter backup files
 Backup tools: Creating, transmitting and receiving
 Restore tools: Reloading the tool backup files
 Service data: Creating and transmitting service data
 Data backup: Backing up all data in a project folder
 Free external: Freely selecting program files on a USB storage
device
 Misc. functions: Importing the cycle programs and DIN programs of
the MANUALplus 4110 and the tool data of the CNC PILOT 4290
Transfer folder
The control exchanges data with an external storage device by
accessing transfer folders created in the storage device. Files in
transfer folders are organized using the same folder structure as on
the control.
Transfer folders can only be used directly in the selected network path
or in the root directory of the USB storage device.
