2.3 Connecting network drives
2.3.1 Setting up access to external drives or computers
Use
The control can be connected to external network drives or other computers. This makes it
possible, for example, to execute part programs from other computers.
Two alternatives are available:
● A maximum of 4 drives can be connected by parameterizing display machine data.
● A maximum of 8 drives can be connected by configuring the LOGDRIVE.INI file.
The two options cannot be applied jointly. The LOGDRIVE.INI file is the preferred choice for
applications with multiple TCUs or PCUs because it allows global network access to these
drives. The user-specific entries of this file are stored in the directory.

2.3.2 Connecting Drives with Display Machine Data
Configuring drives/computers
A maximum of four network drives can be set-up with the following display machine data:
MD 9676 CMM_DIRECTORY_SOFTKEY_PATH1="path1"
MD 9677 CMM_DIRECTORY_SOFTKEY_PATH2="path2"
MD 9678 CMM_DIRECTORY_SOFTKEY_PATH3="path3"
MD 9679 CMM_DIRECTORY_SOFTKEY_PATH4="path4"
The complete path must be entered. The paths are displayed on the softkeys.
The connections can be specified as DOS path e.g. "E:" or "G:\VORBEREI\MPF_DAT" or as
network addresses consisting of node identifiers, share name and directory, e.g.
"\\R111\<Sharename>\MPF_DAT".
Example:
MD9677 CMM_DIRECTORY_SOFTKEY_PATH2=F:\R4711
;drive + directory
MD9678 CMM_DIRECTORY_SOFTKEY_PATH3=\\R4712\TEIL1\WELLE1.DIR
; computer name, enable name with directory data
MD9679 CMM_DIRECTORY_SOFTKEY_PATH4=\\R4713\Part2\MPF_DAT .DIR ; Computer
name, enable name with directory data
The network connection to be specified in MD 9676 CMM_DIRECTORY_SOFTKEY_PATH1
is reserved for SINUMERIK ShopMill or ShopTurn.
