Managing programs

14.1 Overview

USB drives

USB drives enable you to exchange data. For example, you can copy to the NC and execute

programs that were created externally.

Interruption of operation

Direct execution from the USB FlashDrive is not recommended, because machining can be

undesirably interrupted, therefore resulting in workpiece damage.

Partitioned USB-FlashDrive (only 840D sl and TCU)

If the USB-FlashDrive has several partitions, these are displayed in a tree structure as a

subtree (01,02,...).

For EXTCALL calls, enter the partition (e.g. USB:/02/... or //ACTTCU/FRONT/02/... or //

ACTTCU/FRONT,2/... or //TCU/TCU1/FRONT/02/...)

You can also configure any partition (e.g. //ACTTCU/FRONT,3).

The "USB" softkey can only be operated when a USB-FlashDrive is inserted in the front

interface of the operator panel.

The FTP drive offers you the following options - to transfer data, e.g. part programs, between

your control system and an external FTP server.

Select the "Program manager" operating area.

Press the "USB" softkey.
