Group/machine/workpiece
In the file system, these administrative units are represented as directories in the
plant structure, whereby groups can contain subdirectories (groups, machines, and
workpieces). Machines can contain workpieces as subdirectories. Any of the
folders may contain NC data files.
This directory structure is located in the NC data master directory. The NC data
master directory is located under the data directory (specified during installation)
in the "Data" subdirectory.
Example: C:\Siemens\MCIS\Data\DNC\Data
NC data
The actual NC programs, subprograms, tool setup data, graphics data, and so on
are represented as files in the system; the associated administrative data is stored
in the database. NC data can be stored in any of the directories in the DNC system
(group, machine and workpiece).
The file name of an NC administrative data record comprises the NC data name,
the version number, and the NC data type.
Example: data name_13.MPF
Link
You can use the links to view the files in the linked directory. Like files, these are
assigned the relevant access rights.
