Ethernet - CNC configuration in a local network
The Ethernet option permits configuring the CNC as another node within the local area network.
This makes it possible to communicate with other PC’s to transfer files or carry out telediagnosis
tasks.
The Ethernet option does not require having the DNC option available.
The Ethernet card has an RJ-45 connector and two LED's that inform on the status of the connection.
Red LED Blinks while transmitting data.
Green LED On while connected to the network.
Use a standard shielded 10BASE-T cable for this connection. It must not be longer than 100 meters.
Once the connection to Ethernet has been configured, the following types of connections are
possible:
• PC connection through WinDNC (it requires WinDNC version 4.0 or higher).
• Connection from a PC through an FTP client.
• Connection to a remote hard disk.
Remote hard disk.
The Ethernet connection may be used to use a PC directory (server) as a hard disk. This memory
space may be shared by several CNC's or each may have its own memory space.
The interface and the softkeys of the CNC will the same as if it were a local hard disk. When accessing
the CNC through WinDNC or FTP, the remote hard disk behaves like a local hard disk.
The remote hard disk is configured by machine parameters. The PC that makes its hard disk (server)
public must be connected to the local network.
Network connection
Transmitting data
The NFS protocol is used to communicate with the remote hard disk. This protocol must be available
at the PC that is used as server.
