1.5 Limits of data management
Overview
Data are stored in the following directories:
●
Workpieces
● Part programs
● Subroutines
● User cycles
● Standard cycles
● Manufacturer cycles
The data management directories can contain a combined total of 100,000 files, whereby
each directory (each *.WPD workpiece directory for workpieces) is limited to 1000 files. Files
in other directories do not count toward the total limit of 100,000 files. However, each of
these directories is also limited to 1000 files, e.g. a maximum of 1000 archives in the archive
directory. The following limit applies to network drives: maximum of 1000 files per directory.
In practice, the number of files available also depends on the file sizes and the available
memory space. A large number of files slows down the display generation for directory
displays.
A total of 5000 customized alarms or messages can be created in each language.
