It is possible to use a local hard disk at the CNC itself or a remote hard
disk accessible through Ethernet. The remote hard disk does not
require having the DNC option.
Local hard disk
8055 model
A mechanical hard disk of 20 Gb is integrated into the CPU module.
Optionally, a compact flash type hard disk may be installed that can
be accessed from the outside.
8055i model
Compact flash type disk, not accessible from the outside.
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.
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.
