Description

Desktop sharing

Permits the display and remote operation of a control. For safety reasons, however, it is not possible to initiate machine movements or to start NC programs.

Additional information is provided in Chapter: Desktop sharing (SINUMERIK Integrate Client)

File transfer

Enables the transfer of one or more files or directories. Transfer can be from the workplace PC to the control or vice versa. This allows, for example, patches to be imported for the error correction. The control can also be updated quickly. Even complex NC programs are transferred to the service engineer for offline testing or for modification via file transfer.
