Data backup
We recommend saving newly written programs and files on a PC at
regular intervals.
The TNCremoNT data transmission freeware from HEIDENHAIN is a
simple and convenient method for backing up data stored on the TNC.
You additionally need a data medium on which all machine-specific
data, such as the PLC program, machine parameters, etc., are stored.
Ask your machine manufacturer for assistance, if necessary.
Saving the contents of the entire hard disk (>2 GB) can
take up to several hours. In this case, it is a good idea to
save the data outside of work hours, e.g. during the night.
Take the time occasionally to delete any unneeded files so
that the TNC always has enough hard-disk space for
system files (such as the tool table).
Depending on operating conditions (e.g., vibration load),
hard disks generally have a higher failure rate after three to
five years of service. HEIDENHAIN therefore
recommends having the hard disk inspected after three to
five years.
