Managing programs
12.1 Overview
Data exchange with other workstations
You have the following options for exchanging programs and data with other workstations:
● USB drives (e.g. USB-FlashDrive)
● Network drives
● FTP drive
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).
Displaying PDF and HTML documents
You can display HTML documents as well as PDFs on all drives of the program manager
(e.g. in the local drive or USB) and via the data tree of the system data.
However, a preview of the documents is only possible for PDFs.
Note
FTP drive
It is not possible to preview documents on the FTP.
Structure of the directories
In the overview, the symbols in the left-hand column have the following meaning:
All directories have a plus sign when the program manager is called for the first time.
Figure 12-1
The plus sign in front of empty directories is removed after they have been read for the first
time.
