Data transfer to the iTNC 530
TNC-specific files
After integrating the iTNC 530 into your network, you can access any
computer and transfer files to it from the iTNC. However, certain file
types may only be transferred if the data transfer was initiated by the
iTNC. The reason is that these files must be converted into binary
format during the data transfer to the iTNC.
File types that may not be copied using Windows Explorer:
„ Conversational dialog programs (extension .H)
„ smarT.NC unit programs (extension .HU)
„ smarT.NC contour programs (extension .HC)
„ ISO programs (extension .I)
„ Tool tables (extension .T)
„ Pocket tables (extension .TCH)
„ Pallet tables (extension .P)
„ Datum tables (extension .D)
„ Point tables (extension .PNT)
„ Cutting data tables (extension .CDT)
„ Freely definable tables (extension .TAB)
Procedure for data transfer: See “Data transfer to or from an external
data medium,” page 97.
ASCII files
There are no limitations regarding the direct copying of ASCII files
(files with the extension .A) with Windows Explorer.
Before you can initiate a data transfer on the iTNC, the
network drive must have been connected with Windows
Explorer. Access to UNC network names (e.g.
\\PC0815\DIR1) is not possible.
Simply copying the file types listed below to the D drive
using Windows Explorer is both prohibited and useless.
Please note that all the files you want to use on the TNC
must be stored on drive D.
