Data exchange with other workstations 
You have the following options for exchanging programs and data with other workstations: 
●  USB drives (e.g. USB-FlashDrive) 
●  Network drives 
●  FTP drive 
Choosing storage locations 
In the horizontal softkey bar, you can select the storage location that contains the directories 
and programs that you want to display. In addition to the "NC" softkey, via which the passive 
file system data can be displayed, additional softkeys can be displayed. 
The "USB" softkey is only operational when an external storage medium is connected (e.g. 
USB-FlashDrive on the USB port of the operator panel). 
Displaying PDF and HTML documents 
You can display HTML documents as well as PDFs on all drives of the program manager 
(e.g. in the local drive or USB) and via the data tree of the system data. 
However, a preview of the documents is only possible for PDFs.
