10.2.1 General Information
Interfaces
HEIDENHAIN recommends data transfer over an Ethernet-
interface.That guarantees high transmission speed, high reliability,
and convenient operation. Data transmission via serial interface is
also possible.
■ Windows networks (Ethernet interface):
With a Windows network you can integrate your lathe in an LAN
network. The CNC PILOT supports the usual networks under
Windows. The CNC PILOT 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 the CNC
PILOT's activities.
The CNC PILOT usually logs on in the network during startup and
does not log off until the system is terminated.
■ FTP (File Transfer Protocol) (Ethernet interface):
With ”FTP” you integrate your lathe in a LAN network. To do this, an
FTP server must be installed on the host computer (with Windows
NT and UNIX, the FTP server is included in the operating system;
an FTP server is available for Windows 95/98). The CNC PILOT
allows you to send/receive files.
The CNC PILOT does not support server functions. This means that
other computer systems in the network cannot access CNC PILOT files.
■ Serial
You transfer programs or program files via serial interface –
without protocol. Ensure that your communications partner
complies with the defined interface parameters (baud rate, word
length, etc.).
■ Network printer
the CNC PILOT transmits print jobs to the defined standard printer.
Prerequisites:
■ Installed printer driver
■ Declaration as standard printer
■ Device name: STD (”Printer settings” dialog box)
■ Local printer
The CNC PILOT transmits print jobs to the COMx interface (entry in
the ”Device name” field of the ”Printer settings” dialog box.
HEIDENHAIN recommends having trained
personnel put your printer into service.
