Logging on as a local administrator
As a local administrator, you are allowed to install software and change
the network settings.
In order to guarantee the trouble-free function of the iTNC application,
the Windows XP system must at all times have sufficient
 CPU power
 free hard disk memory on the C drive
 RAM
 bandwidth for the hard drive interface
available.
By sufficiently buffering the TNC data, the control can compensate
brief interruptions (up to one second at a block cycle time of 0.5 ms)
to the data transfer from the Windows PC. However, if the data
transfer from the Windows PC is interrupted for a longer time period,
problems can occur with the feed rate during program run, resulting in
damage to the workpiece.
Please contact your machine tool builder for the user
name and the password.
HEIDENHAIN does not assist you in installing Windows
applications and offers no guarantee for the function of the
applications you installed.
HEIDENHAIN is not liable for faulty hard disk contents
caused by installing updates to non-HEIDENHAIN
software or additional application software.
If HEIDENHAIN is required to render service after
programs or data have been changed, HEIDENHAIN will
charge you for the service costs incurred.
Keep in mind the following requirements for software
installations:
The program to be installed must not overburden the
computing power of the Windows PC (512 MB RAM,
Pentium M with 1.8 GHz clock frequency).
Programs executed under Windows with the priority
levels above normal, high or real time (e.g. games),
must not be installed.
You should use virus scanners only when the TNC is not
running an NC program. HEIDENHAIN recommends using
virus scanners either just after switching the control on or
just before switching it off.
