OCI Data Server CNC Commands

Publication 8520-6.6 - August 1999

TRANSFER_AMP_FROM_PORTB (no argument)

Use this command to restore an AMP configuration that was backed
up to a peripheral device attached to the control’s port B. This will
restore the AMP configuration to RAM.

For example:

[TRANSFER_AMP_FROM_PORTB]

reads the AMP configuration from the device connected to the
control’s port B. This command will overwrite the AMP file
currently in the control’s RAM. This will not affect the AMP
configuration stored in the control’s flash memory. It is necessary to
cycle power on the control when AMP is restored.

Important: This command does not apply to the 9/PC CNC.

TRANSFER_AMP_TO_PORTA (no argument)

Use this command to back up the current AMP configuration to a
device connected to the control’s portA. This will back up
configuration currently in RAM. This may or may not be the same
configuration stored in the control’s backup memory.

For example:

[TRANSFER_AMP_TO_PORTA]

writes the AMP configuration to the device connected to the
control’s port A. This backup file is not in a man–readable format.
If you require a man–readable version of AMP refer to the ODS
document utility. Use the command TRANSFER_AMP_FROM_
PORTA to retrieve an AMP configuration from a peripheral device.

Important: This command does not apply to the 9/PC CNC.
