Interfaces
Data transfer is carried out over the Ethernet or the serial interface.
We recommend using transfer modes via Ethernet interface, since the
transmission rate and transmission security are higher than with serial
interfaces.
„ WINDOWS networks (via Ethernet):
With a WINDOWS network you can integrate your lathe in a LAN
network. MANUALplus supports the networks provided by
WINDOWS. MANUALplus allows you to send/receive files. Other
computer systems integrated in the network have access to read
from and write to "shared" directories, independent of
MANUALplus's activities.
„ Serial data transfer:
It is important to ensure that the interface parameters (baud rate,
word length, etc.) comply with those of the remote station.
„ Printer:
The interface parameters (baud rate, word length, etc.) must also
comply with those of the printer.
Basics of data transfer
MANUALplus (and DataPilot) manage DIN programs, DIN macros,
cycle programs and ICP contours in different directories. When you
select "Program group," MANUALplus and DataPilot automatically
switch to the applicable directories.
Parameters and tool data are stored in the remote station under the
file name entered for "Backup name." The "Backup name" is displayed
for your information. It can be changed by service personnel only.
Automatic logon
If "Auto-logon—Yes" has been selected, you are automatically logged
on to the network by MANUALplus. Enter your "user name" and
"password" required for logon into the "Settings" dialog box. If you do
not use the automatic logon function, you must enter your user name
and password when starting the system. The disadvantage of working
without the automatic logon function is that these entries are required
each time you start the system and that you can only use numbers for
your user name and password.
Danger of collision!
Other computer systems in the network may overwrite
MANUALplus programs. When organizing the network
and granting access rights, ensure that only authorized
persons have access to MANUALplus.
