13.3 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
8 Connect the power cable to the FE.
8 Connect the FE and TNC with the data interface cable.
8 Switch on the FE.
8 Insert a disk in the upper drive.
8 Format the disk if necessary.
8 Set data interface (see ”Setting the external data interfaces” on
page 232).
8 Transfer the data.
Non-HEIDENHAIN devices
The TNC and non-HEIDENHAIN device must be adapted to each
other.
To adapt a non-HEIDENHAIN device to the TNC:
8 PC: adapt the software.
8 Printer: Set the DIP switches.
To adapt the TNC to a non-HEIDENHAIN device:
Set the user parameters:
„ 5010 to 5020 for EXT.
„ The memory capacity of a floppy disk is given in sectors.
„ The baud rate can be set on the FE 401.
