Creating drive connections
5
Up to 21 connections to so-called logical drives (data carriers) can be configured. These drives
can be accessed in the "Program manager" and "Startup" operating areas.
The following logical drives can be set up:
● USB interface
● CompactFlash card of the NCU, only for SINUMERIK Operate in the NCU
● Network drives
● Local hard disk of the PCU, only for SINUMERIK Operate on the PCU
Software option
In order to use the CompactFlash card as data carrier, you require the "Additional
HMI user memory on CF card of the NCU" option (not for SINUMERIK Operate on
PCU or PC).
Note
The USB interfaces of the NCU are not available for SINUMERIK Operate and therefore cannot
be configured.
5.1 Setting up drives
The "Set up drives" window is available in the "Start-up" operating area for configuring the
softkeys in the Program Manager.
Information on the procedure and configuration can be found in the following documentation:
