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.
