10.4 Preparing the Devices for Data Transfer
HEIDENHAIN devices
HEIDENHAIN devices (FE floppy disk unit and ME magnetic tape unit) are
adapted to the TNC. They can be used for data transfer without further
adjustments.
Example: FE 401 floppy disk unit
• Connect the power cable to the FE
• Connect the FE and TNC with the data transfer cable
• Switch on the FE
• Insert a floppy disk into the upper drive
• If necessary: format the disk
• Set the interface (see page 11-4)
• Transfer the data
• The memory capacity of a floppy disk is given in sectors.
• The baud rate can be selected at the FE 401 floppy disk unit.
Non-HEIDENHAIN devices
The TNC and non-HEIDENHAIN devices must be adapted to each other.
Adjusting a non-HEIDENHAIN DEVICE to the TNC
• PC: Adapt the software
• Printer: Adjust the switches (DIP switches)
Adjusting the TNC to a non-HEIDENHAIN device
Set the user parameters:
• 5020.0 to 5210.0 for EXT1
• 5020.1 to 5210.1 for EXT2
The two settings can be adjusted, for example, to a PC (e.g. EXT1) or to a
printer (EXT2).
