Programs can be exchanged with other ShopMill stations via an
external data storage system through the RS-232 interface.
The data read out function can also be used to export data that is not
currently required to release NC main memory or hard disk space.
You can re-import the exported programs as they are needed.
When you import or export a program into/out of ShopMill, all ShopMill
subroutines are transferred with it.
It is also possible to import or export more than one program in the
same operation.
The RS-232 interface of the control and the external data medium
must be compatible, i.e. you must make the same settings for each
RS-232 interface.
Make sure that you set the correct file format (binary/PC, punched
tape or punched tape/ISO format) on reading out. Otherwise the
partner system will not be able to interpret the data.
Open the Program Manager.
Place the cursor on the program that you want to export.
Select the "Continue" and "Read out" softkeys.
Press the "RS-232 settings" softkey to set up the interface.
Enter the desired settings.
Press the "Back" softkey.
The settings for the interface are saved.
Press the "All files" softkey if you want to read out all the
programs displayed.
Start the transfer on the partner system.
Press "Start" softkey.
The selected program and all its ShopMill subroutines are read out.
