TNCremoNT
data transfer
software
For data transfer and data backup the HEIDENHAIN data transfer software TNCremoNT as of
version 2.7 is used in this description.
You can download the current version of TNCremoNT from the HEIDENHAIN website
(www.heidenhain.de) and install it on your laptop or stationary computer.
BINARY-to-ASCII
conversion
Some files (e.g., NC programs) on the data medium (HDR, SSDR) of the control are saved in BINARY
format.
Important advantages of this data format are the relatively fast access and the relatively low memory
requirements.
If the setting of the HEIDENHAIN data transfer software TNCremoNT is correct, data read from the
control to an external data medium (e.g. a laptop or a PC) is automatically converted from BINARY into
ASCII format.
When data is transferred from an external medium to the control, it is converted from ASCII format
into BINARY format.
The figure shows the correct setting in the TNCremoNT configuration:

Note
The data of an iTNC 530 HSCI are archived externally in the defined ASCII format as the BINARY
format on the control may be changed, e.g., after an NC software update.
Note
Like internal access (at the control), the machine manufacturer may have locked external access
(via laptop/PC) to partitions on the control's data medium disk (e.g., PLC partition) with
passwords.
If necessary, ask the machine manufacturer!
