The SINUMERIK 840C user interface also provides its own data manager with
integrated editor.
Fig. 1-7 NC Data Management
The Data Management area can be used as a convenient and efficient means
of managing and editing the data on the hard disk. The following functions can
also be performed:
• Transfer of data between the NCK and MMC
• Transfer of data between the MMC and a peripheral device.
To help the user keep track of the large volumes of data stored on the hard
disk, files are organized into "directories". A directory is similar to a file binder
in a filing cabinet. All of the data belonging to a particular project are stored in
the same directory.
Similarly, the SINUMERIK 840C OEM Version for Windows allows all of the
data belonging to a particular workpiece to be stored in a separate directory.
This type of directory is referred to here as a workpiece.
The main advantage of workpiece-oriented data management is the ability to
transfer all of the data required for a workpiece from the hard disk to the NCK
or peripheral device with a single operator action.
