.1 The T
ransf
er Mode of Oper
ation
Function overview of the Transfer mode of operation:
„ Network: Activates the WINDOWS network and shows the
“masked” files of the CNC PILOT and the communications partner.
„ Serial: Activates serial data transmission and displays the
“masked” files of the CNC PILOT.
„ FTP: Activates the FTP network and shows the “masked” files of
the CNC PILOT and the communications partner.
„ USB storage media: The CNC PILOT supports Windows XP
compatible USB mass storage devices.
„ Organization: Management of local files.
„ Parameter conv(ersion): Converts parameters/operating
resources from “internal format” to ASCII format – or vice versa;
prepares data backup; downloads saved data.
„ Setting: Setting the network, FTP, serial interfaces or printer
parameters.
Overview of data transfer methods
The CNC PILOT uses the Windows XPe operating system. Network
communication is based on operating system functions. The network
is therefore configured in Windows.
Interfaces: HEIDENHAIN recommends data transfer over an Ethernet
interface. That guarantees high transmission speed, high reliability,
and convenient operation. The USB interface is another reliable and
easy-to-use way to transfer data, if suitable storage media are used.
Data transmission via serial interface is also possible.
„ WINDOWS networks (Ethernet interface): For integrating your
lathe in a LAN network. The CNC PILOT supports the networks
commonly used under WINDOWS.
„ The CNC PILOT allows you to send/receive files.
„ Other network users have read- and write-access to shared
directories, regardless of the activities of the CNC PILOT.
„ As a rule, the CNC PILOT logs on to the network upon system
startup and remains online until shutdown.
„ FTP – File Transfer Protocol (Ethernet interface): For integrating
your lathe in a LAN network. This requires an FTP server installed on
the host computer.
„ The CNC PILOT allows you to send/receive files.
„ The CNC PILOT has no server functions. This means that other
computer systems in the network cannot access CNC PILOT files.
