Telediagnosis
The remote PC must have the WINDNC application version 2.00 or
later installed in it and the CNC software version must be V07.01 or
later.
CNC connection to the telephone line
It must be done through the RS232 serial line and using a modem
that has RS232 serial line communication.
First, turn on the modem, then the CNC and then the remote PC, in
that order.
PC connection to the telephone line
Connect the PC to the telephone line through a modem and execute
the WINDNC application. Within the options for the serial line, select
option (a).
The application shows the following window. Indicate which modem
is being used and the telephone number to dial.
PC-CNC communication (Telediagnosis)
Once the connection has been established (either via serial line or
via modem), select the "telediagnosis" option (b) of the WINDNC
application.
From this moment on, the CNC may be governed either from its own
keyboard or remotely from the PC keyboard.
•
The PC will display the same information (screens) as the CNC.
•
It is possible to access the different CNC modes, modify tables
and parameters when knowing the password, simulate
programs, etc.
•
For safety reasons, it is not possible to move the axes of the
machine or execute part-programs.
With the WINDNC application, it is also possible to send to the CNC
a file containing a keystroke sequence, option (c).
While in remote control mode, no other DNC command may be
executed through the same serial line (for example the execution of
an infinite program).
With option (d), it is possible to save into a BMP file a CNC screen
image that is being displayed.
End the communication (End telediagnosis)
To end the communication, select option (e) from those associated
to the serial line in the WINDNC application.
