Notes
Notice
Caution: Danger due to manipulated data!
If you execute NC programs directly from a network drive or a USB device, you have no control over whether the NC program has been changed or manipulated. In addition, the network speed can slow down the execution of the NC program. Undesirable machine movements or collisions may result.
- Copy the NC program and all called files to the TNC: drive
Notice
Caution: Data may be lost!
Always remove a connected USB device properly, otherwise data may be damaged or deleted!
- Use the USB port for transfer and backup only; do not use it for editing and executing NC programs
- Use the icon to remove USB devices when data transfer is complete
- If an error message is displayed when connecting a USB device, check the setting in the SELinux security software.
- If the control displays an error message when using a USB hub, ignore and acknowledge the message with the CE key.
- Prepare a backup of the files on the control at regular intervals.
