Overwriting tool data from an external PC
Application
The HEIDENHAIN data transfer software TNCremo provides an
especially convenient way to use an external PC to overwrite tool
data.
Further Information: "Software for data transfer", page 607
This application case occurs e.g. if you wish to determine tool data
on an external tool presetter and then transfer this to the TNC.
Requirements
In addition to option 18 HEIDENHAIN DNC, TNCremo (from version
3.1) is required with TNCremoPlus functions.
Procedure
Copy the tool table TOOL.T to the TNC, for example to TST.T
Start the data transfer software TNCremo on the PC
Establish a connection with the TNC
Transfer the copied tool table TST.T to the PC
Use any text editor to reduce TST.T to the lines and columns
to be changed (see figure). Make sure that the header is not
changed and the data is always flush in the column. The tool
number (column T) need not be consecutive
In TNCremo, select the menu item <Extras> and <TNCcmd>:
This starts TNCcmd.
To transfer TST.T to the TNC, enter the following command and
confirm with the return key (see figure): put tst.t tool.t /m
During transfer, only the tool data defined in the
subfile (e.g. TST.T) is overwritten. All other tool data
of the table TOOL.T remains unchanged.
The procedure for copying tool tables using the TNC
file manager is described in the file management.
