RCS 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 local network cable (optional).
Notice
You will obtain the full functionality of the RCS tool only after importing the license key RCS
802.
With this key, the connection to the control system can be established via a local network
(only for SINUMERIK 802D sl pro) and the remote operating function and other functions can
be used.
Without a license key, only local directories (on the PC/PG) are released for accessing via
the control system.

After starting, you are in offline mode. This means that you can manage files on your PC
only. In the online mode, the Control 802 directory is also available for data exchange with
the control system. In addition, a remote control function is provided for process monitoring.
Note
The RCS tool provides a detailed online help function. For further details e.g. establishing a
connection, project management etc., please refer to this help menu.
