Data backup
HEIDENHAIN recommends backing up new NC programs and files
created on the control to a PC at regular intervals.
The free-of-charge
TNCremo
software from HEIDENHAIN is a
simple and convenient method for backing up data stored on the
control.
You can also backup files directly from the control.
Further information: "Backup and restore", Page 400
You additionally need a data medium on which all machine-specific
data, such as the PLC program, machine parameters, etc., are
stored. Ask your machine manufacturer for assistance, if necessary.
Take the time occasionally to delete any unneeded files
so that the control always has enough hard-disk space
for system files (such as the tool table).
Importing a file from an iTNC 530
Refer to your machine manual.
The machine tool builder can adapt the
ADAPT NC PGM / TABLE
function.
The machine tool builder can define update rules that
make it possible, for example, to automatically remove
umlauts from tables and NC programs.
If you export a file from an iTNC 530 and import it into a TNC 620,
depending on the file type you have to adapt its format and content
before you can use the file.
The machine tool builder defines which file types you will be able
to import when using the
ADAPT NC PGM / TABLE
function. The
control converts the contents of the imported file to a format valid
for the TNC 620 and saves the changes to the selected file.
