Downloading Files From The Itnc Via Data Interface - HEIDENHAIN iTNC 530 Service Manual

22.2 Downloading Files from the iTNC via Data Interface

Connection setup If your PC or laptop has a functioning ethernet card, proceed as follows:
via Ethernet
 Establish a peer-to-peer connection between your laptop and the iTNC.
"Peer-to-peer" means that you do not connect laptop and iTNC via the inhouse network;
instead the laptop is directly connected to the iTNC using a crossed Ethernet cable.

Now either adapt the IP address and the subnet mask of your laptop to the IP address and the
subnet mask of the iTNC, or vice versa.
If you want to adapt the settings of your laptop to those of the the iTNC:
 Assign your laptop an IP address that is one digit higher or lower than that of the control,
and set the same subnet mask as in the control.
Normally the settings can be changed in My Computer\Control Panel\Network.
The laptop usually reboots after changes were made to these settings.
If you want to adapt the settings of your iTNC to those of the laptop:

First back up the original DEFINE NET settings of the iTNC.
For this purpose copy the file ip4.n00 (in PLC:\NET) as ip4-n00.txt (or similar) or write down
the information in this file.
 Determine IP address and subnet mask of our laptop.
For this purpose enter "winipcfg" or "ipconfig" in the DOS-box. You can also find this
information in My Computer\Control Panel\Network.
 Enter the code number NET123 and press the DEFINE NET soft key.
 Enter an internet address that is one digit higher or lower than the address of your laptop.

Enter the same subnet mask as that of your laptop.
 Press END twice.
 The control now reboots.
 Now start the HEIDENHAIN data transfer program TNCremoNT.
 In the configuration window (called by clicking the corresponding icon or via "Options/
Configuration...") click the TCP/IP connection and enter the IP address of your control.
Confirm with "Apply" and "OK".
22 – 274
Note
The following procedures describe the downloading and uploading of files
using the HEIDENHAIN data transfer software TNCremoNT 2.0 from revision 237.
Note
You can read the IP address and the subnet mask of the control after entering the code
number NET123 and pressing the DEFINE NET soft key.
Note
To check whether the ethernet connection is correct, you can "ping" the iTNC from your
laptop.
In the DOS-box enter ping followed by the IP address of the iTNC (for example ping
160.1.180.9).
After having pressed ENT to confirm the command, the control must send a reply.

Establish the connection by clicking the corresponding icon.
 If this does not work, please check the connecting cable and the settings.
