Introduction - HEIDENHAIN iTNC 530 User Manual

19.1 Introduction

Functionality
The software option 133 must be enabled in order to be
able to operate a Windows computer unit via the TNC.
With the HEIDENHAIN IPC 6341 Windows computer you can start
and remotely operate Windows-based applications via the iTNC user
interface. The user interface is displayed on the control screen.
The IPC 6341 is usually mounted in the electrical cabinet
of your machine tool. It is configured and commissioned
by your machine tool builder. The TNC is also configured
by your machine tool builder; see your machine tool
manual.
Since Windows runs on a separate computer, it does not influence the
NC machining process. The Windows computer is connected to the
TNC main computer via Ethernet.
