9.4 Preparing the Devices for Data Transfer
HEIDENHAIN devices
HEIDENHAIN devices (FE floppy disk unit and ME magnetic tape unit) are
already 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 interface cable
• Switch on the FE
• Insert a diskette into the upper drive
• Format the diskette if necessary
• Set the interface (see page 10-4)
• Transfer the data
• The memory capacity of a floppy disk is given in sectors.
• The baud rate can be set at the FE 401.
Non-HEIDENHAIN devices
The TNC and non-HEIDENHAIN devices must be adapted to each other.
To adapt a non-HEIDENHAIN device to the TNC
• PC: Adapt the software
• Printer: set the DIP switches
To adapt 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).
