USB devices on the TNC (FCL 2 function)
Backing up data from or loading onto the TNC is especially easy with
USB devices. The TNC supports the following USB block devices:
„ Floppy disk drives with FAT/VFAT file system
„ Memory sticks with the FAT/VFAT file system
„ Hard disks with the FAT/VFAT file system
„ CD-ROM drives with the Joliet (ISO 9660) file system
The TNC automatically detects these types of USB devices when
connected. The TNC does not support USB devices with other file
systems (such as NTFS). The TNC displays the USB: TNC does not
support device
error message when such a device is connected.
The USB devices appear as separate drives in the directory tree, so
you can use the file-management functions described in the earlier
chapters correspondingly.
In order to remove a USB device, you must proceed as follows:
U Press the PGM MGT soft key to call the file manager.
U Select the left window with the arrow key.
U Use the arrow keys to select the USB device to be
removed.
U Scroll through the soft-key row.
U Select additional functions.
U Select the function for removing USB devices. The
TNC removes the USB device from the directory tree.
U Exit the file manager.
In order to re-establish a connection with a USB device that has been
removed, press the following soft key:
U Select the function for reconnection of USB devices.
It should basically be possible to connect most USB block
devices with the above-mentioned file systems to the
control. It may happen that a USB device is not identified
correctly by the control, for example when the cable
between the control panel and the main computer is very
long. In such cases, use another USB device.
Your machine tool builder can assign permanent names
for USB devices. The machine tool manual provides
further information.
