3.9.6.5 Curve Tool: Uploading and Downloading Curves
Note: Uploading and downloading are available only when RMCWin is online with an RMC CPU
that has firmware supporting curves. Firmware dated 19971204 or later supports this feature.
Note: Downloading enhanced curves requires RMC CPU firmware dated 20010208 or later. See
Standard vs. Enhanced Curves for details.
The Curve Tool allows downloading or uploading curves to or from the RMC. It will only upload or
download a curve to a single axis. Downloading a curve to an axis from RMCWin will erase all
existing curves on that axis in the RMC. You should not download a curve while that axis is
running a spline. Uploading a curve from an axis that has more than one spline segment will
upload the first, or oldest, curve. It is only possible to have multiple spline segments per axis by
downloading them through the communication module such as Ethernet, Modbus Plus, Serial, or
PROFIBUS. See Downloading Splines to the RMC for details.
Each curve that is downloaded is stored in the RAM memory. Downloading a curve does not
automatically save the curve to Flash memory. The Curve Tool offers a command to save all
curves in the RMC to Flash memory. This command is described below. Without saving the
curves to Flash, the curves will be lost when the RMC loses power.
To upload a curve from the RMC:
1. Select the axis you want to upload, as described in Selecting the Active Axis.
