Setting up drives

You can define logical drives in the "Set up drives" window.
A user interface for configuration purposes is available in the Startup/HMI area. The
configuration data created from this is stored in the "logdrive.ini" file.
The file is stored on the CF card under the following path:
/user/sinumerik/hmi/cfg/logdrive.ini
USB local/USB global
If you configure a "USB local" type of connection, you will only have access via the TCU to
which the USB memory medium is connected.
With the "USB global" type of connection, you have access to the USB memory medium via
all TCUs located on the system network.
