7.3.1 Special directories and memory areas
The following directories contain special files:
Clipboard
The clipboard is a directory on the hard disk, where files, which cannot
be included in the copy target directory, are stored. This may be the
case for example, if their file type is unknown, or is not permitted in the
copy target directory or if the reading process is canceled (e.g., on
USB memory media).
Archive
If you wish to save several files, you can store them in an archive file
(.ARC).
The source path for the files, which are to be stored in the archive file,
is also saved. This allows the packed file to be transferred back to the
same directory from which it was copied when the archive file is
unpacked again.
Series commissioning archives are also stored in this directory.
USB memory
The SIMATIC USB FlashDrive has been released for SINUMERIK.
NC active data
The NC memory contains data (e.g. R parameters, tool offsets,
machine data) that are not stored there in file format. The directory
"NC active data" is provided in the file manager to allow the user to
access these data and store them on the hard disk in file format.
If the user wishes to save data in files on the hard disk, they can set
up the same directory structure under a directory of any name for "NC
data" (.MDN). Via "Copy/paste" any active data can be fetched from
the NC and stored in files on the hard disk.
NC-active data cannot be unloaded.
