RCS802 Tool

With the RCS tool (Remote Control System), you are provided with an Explorer tool for your
PC/PG to assist you in your daily work with SINUMERIK 802D sl.
The connection between the control system and the PC/PG can be provided either via an
RS232 cable or a network (option).
Attention
The full functionality of the RCS tool is only provided after loading of the RCS 802 license
key.
This license key can be used to establish the connection to the control system via a local
network (SINUMERIK 802D sl pro only); thus, it is also possible, for example, to use the
remote control function.
Without license key, it is only possible to share local directories (on the PC/PG) for access
by the control system.

After starting, you are in the offline mode. This means that you can manage files on your PC

with the control system. In addition, a remote control function is provided for process monito-
ring.
Note
The RCS tool provides a detailed online help function. For further details e.g. establishing a
