10.1 The Transfer Mode of
Operation
The Transfer mode is used for data backup and data
exchange with other IT systems. It moves files from
one location to another. The files contain NC programs
(DIN PLUS or TURN PLUS programs), parameter files,
or files with information for service personnel
(oscilloscope data, log files, etc.)
The Transfer mode also includes organizational
functions such as copying, deletion, renaming, etc.
Data Backup
HEIDENHAIN recommends saving your CNC PILOT
programs on a PC in regular intervals.
You should also back up the parameters. Since the
parameters are not changed very often, however, you
only need to back up the parameters from time to
time, as required. See ”
10.4.2 Backup Up Parameters
and Operating Resource Files.”
Data exchange with DataPilot
HEIDENHAIN offers the PC program package
DataPilot 4290 to complement the CNC PILOT
machine control. DataPilot has the same
programming and testing function as the control. This
means that can create TURN PLUS and DIN PLUS
programs on the PC, test it with program simulation
and transfer it to the machine control.
Systems for data backup/data exchange
The DataPilot also includes backup functions. Of
course, you can also use alternative Windows
operating system functions or other PC programs
available on the market for data backup.
Printer
With the organization functions you can printout
DIN PLUS programs and parameter/operating
resource data. TURN PLUS programs cannot be
printed out.
The CNC PILOT prepares for print job for A4 format
(21 cm x 29.7 cm).

Files in TURN PLUS format are processed only by CNC
PILOT or DataPilot – they are not readable.
■
Service files support troubleshooting. Theses files are
normally transferred and evaluated by service personnel.
