6.2 Data management
A special data manager has been developed for managing the NCK/MMC data
on the SINUMERIK 840C.
Fig. 6-2 Data Management basic display
In addition to the usual functions such as copy, delete, create, edit and
duplicate, the data manager provides the following extra advantages:
• NC data management is workpiece-oriented, i.e. NCK data such as main
programs, subroutines, setting data, tool offsets, zero offsets and R
parameters can be assigned to a workpiece. A workpiece corresponds to a
directory. This directory can either be on the local hard disk of the MMC,
on a disk drive or on a remote computer.
• All the data required for a workpiece can be transferred from the hard disk
to the NCK or peripheral device with a single operator action.
• When working with the data manager, you do not need to worry about the
operating system names of PC drives and directories.
• In contrast to the complex MS-Windows File Manager, you cannot
accidentally delete or alter system files when using the Data Manager.
