4.4 DNC Compare

DNC Compare offers two functions:

NC program comparison


Machine comparison for SINUMERIK*

4.4.1 Machine comparison for SINUMERIK*
General
The machine comparison requires the DNC Compare option, which must be
obtained separately for each plant.
The SINUMERIK* machine comparison allows you to check whether the NC
programs on the machine and the programs managed in DNC have the same
content.
This function is only available for SINUMERIK* with a PCU 50/70 operator
interface.
Note
An additional configuration is required for the machine comparison. For more
information, see Chapter 10 - Configuration.
Carrying out the machine comparison
You can compare individual machines or a group of machines.
To do so, select a machine with the SINUMERIK* transmission module and then
choose Machine Comparison  Compare.
If you select a group, the machine comparison is carried out for each machine with
a SINUMERIK* transmission module.
The comparison result for each machine is stored in a file and is retained until the
next comparison run is carried out. The file name is the same as that for the
machine configuration file with the extension TXT. All of these files are located in
the directory ... DNC\CmpResult.
Note
The change date and length of the file are compared, but not the content.
Only program versions that have been released are compared with machine
programs.
