9.1.3 Save and load the tables
From the vertical softkey menu, it is possible to make a backup copy of the table data
(recommended). With these files, it is possible to recover the table data when needed.
These tables are saved in the an ASCII file. These files may be saved at the CNC,
in a floppy disk or at another device (CNC, PC, etc.) connected through Ethernet. By
default, they are saved in the folder "
C:\CNC8070\ MTB\ DATA " or in the last folder
selected by the user.
These tables are saved in the following files. The table monitoring the change
processes is informative only; it is not copied anywhere.
Considerations for saving and loading tables.
Although each table may be saved separately, it is recommended to always have a
copy of all the tables. Also, the following must be borne in mind when loading the
tables:
• Loading the tool table initializes the magazine tables and the active-tools table.
When changing the list of available tools, it may not be coherent with the tool
distribution in the magazine or in the spindles. This is why after loading this table
it is necessary to define (or load) the magazine tables and the active-tools table,
if any, in that order.
• Loading the magazine table initializes the active-tools table. This is because when
loading the magazine tables, the new tool arrangement may not be coherent with
the active tools. This is why after loading this table, it is necessary to load the
active-tools table.
Save the tables
The tables may be saved one by one or all of them simultaneously. In either case,
the action is carried out from the vertical softkey menu using one of the following icons.
After pressing the icon, the CNC will ask where to save the data files. Select the
desired folder and press [ENTER]. The selection process may be canceled by
pressing the [ESC] key.
