Transfer
Description of the input fields
Data block:
With <F7> (HELP) you can select between machine data and machining programs.
Device:
With <F7> (HELP) you can select the source or destination device. The possible entries
are module (I P247), the programmer (PG) or the data drive (FD).
As the source, you must specify the number of the block to be transferred. The same num-
ber will be entered as the target. This can, however, be changed. The range of values is
from 0,.,255. If a "*" is entered for the DB no, of the source, all DBs (either machine data or
machining programs) on the selected source device will be transferred to the destination
device. The DB number of the destination device is then meaningless.
Note
I
The PG can only store one machine data record and one machining program.
Axis:
When transferring machine data, you must enter the axis number in the machine data re-
cord to be transferred under source. If there is no machine data record with this axis num-
ber on the selected device, the error message "data block does not exist" is displayed.
When transferring the machine data, it is possible to change the axis number of the target
Drive:
If the selected source device is a floppy or hard disk the name of the drive is also required.
You can use the HELP key <F7> to make the entry.
File name:
If the source is a drive (floppy or hard disk) the file name must be selected using the help
key. If there is no file on the selected drive with the extension .247 no DB can be trans-
ferred, In this case the error message "data block does not exist" is displayed. If the target
device is a drive, the file name selected in the presets display will be used and the corre-
sponding data for "plant designation", " generated on" and "generated by" will be displayed
in the appropriate fields. You can only transfer to the drive selected in the presets display.
Significance of the function keys
This function key starts the transfer.
With the HELP key, you make selections in the "block number", source device and
destination device fields. Remember that no blocks can be transferred if the source
and destination device are identical. Otherwise, possible source drives and the files
contained can be selected.
Pressing this function key abandons the "TRANSFER" function and you return to the
basic display ("function selection").
