2.4 OPERATION FROM A DATA SERVER
Memory operation
You can perform memory operation for an NC program on the
memory card built into a Data Server in the same way as for an NC
program in the CNC memory.
You can also supply an NC program simultaneously for a multipath
CNC system.
NOTE
When memory operation is performed, a selected
program on the Data Server must be a text file. It is
impossible to use a binary file for memory
operation.
M198 subprogram operation
In the storage mode, you can perform M198 calling from the memory
card built into a Data Server. In the FTP or buffer mode, you can
perform M198 calling form the host computer.
On the DATA SERVER FILE LIST screen, set an M198 folder in
advance. When M198 calling is specified, the set M198 folder is
searched for the target subprogram.
NOTE
The file name of an NC program called by M198
must have the O number format.
DNC operation
In the storage mode, you can perform DNC operation from the
memory card built into a Data Server. In the FTP or buffer mode, you
can perform DNC operation from the host computer.
On the DATA SERVER FILE LIST screen, set the file name for DNC
operation in advance. When DNC operation starts, the set DNC
operation file is called.
