Access the CNC's hard disk from a PC
3.3 Access the CNC's hard disk from a PC
If the CNC is configured like another node in the network, it may be accessed from any PC of the
network knowing its IP. Only the CNC's hard disk may be accessed; i.e. it is not possible to access
programs in RAM nor read variables, tables, etc.
From the PC, it is possible to access the part-program directory of the hard disk and edit, modify,
etc. the programs stored. It is also possible to copy programs from the hard disk to the PC and vice
versa.
Protocol used
The FTP protocol is used to access the hard disk of the CNC. The FTP protocol permits transferring
files between a PC and a CNC connected to a local network or to internet. The FTP client, in charge
of managing the transfer, must be installed at the PC. The interface depends on the FTP client being
used.
When accessing the CNC from a PC via FTP, it shows the following directory structure.
Although the user may create new directories through the FTP, only the programs contained in the
"PRG" directory may be seen from the CNC.
If the CNC does not have a hard disk, it will show the directory empty and it will not allow sending
any program.
