Overview

Place all programs that you would like to execute in the NC.
You can access these programs at any time via the Program Manager for execution, editing,
copying, or renaming. Programs that you no longer require can be deleted to release their
storage space.
Storage for programs
Possible storage locations are:
• NC
• Local drive
• Network drives
• USB drives
Communication with other workstations
You have the following options for exchanging programs and data with other workstations:
• USB drives (e.g. USB FlashDrive)
• Network drives
Choosing storage locations
In the horizontal softkey bar, you can select the storage location that contains the directories
and programs that you want to display. In addition to the "NC" softkey, via which the passive
file system data can be displayed, additional softkeys can be displayed.
The "USB" softkey is only operational when an external storage medium is connected (e.g.,
USB FlashDrive on the USB port of the operator panel).
