1 Introduction - SINUMERIK 840C and its Operation
Note
The SINUMERIK 840C allows the storage of large volumes of data on the
hard disk. Siemens recommends you strongly to keep a copy of all relevant
data on an external data device (such as a programming unit or PC, etc.), as
the data can be irrecoverably lost in the event of a hard disk failure.
You can use the RS-232C (V.24)/20mA interface on the MMC CPU to output
your user data from the hard disk in binary or punchtape format. The interface
switches automatically RS-232C (V.24) between and 20mA mode according to
the connected device and cable used.
The output of NCK data in punchtape format is performed using the data
manager. Other user data can be input or output in binary format with the aid of
the PCIN data backup program.
A complete copy of all the data on the hard disk can also be made using the
VALITEK streamer. The Valitek streamer is connected to the parallel
interface.
Important
Remember to make regular backups of your data so that you have a recent
copy of data which you can reload onto the control in the event of an error.
You can print your data on a printer connected to the parallel interface.
The FD-E2 diskette drive can also be used for data backup (optional).
