4.1 RULES GOVERNING THE USE OF THE DATA SERVER
FUNCTIONS
This section describes the rules governing the use of the data server
functions.
4.1.1 Data Server Modes
The data server function can run in three modes when it transfers NC
data (such as NC programs and NC parameters) between the CNC and
data server board.
Storage mode
In the storage mode, data is transferred between the data server board
built-in hard disk and CNC part program storage.
For example, DNC operations including a DNC operation by a
subprogram call (M198) require that the related NC programs be stored
on the data server board built-in hard disk. If an NC program is output,
it will be stored on that hard disk.
