Safe transfer (machining transfer)

 

Machining centre transfer parameter to set whether safe transfer applies

 

This parameter is shown on the general page of the machining centre transfer parameter screen and is only available for the following transfer modes:

11 - PTX

12 - MDB

If safe transfer is enabled the program checks that run data is successfully sent to the machine and an error is reported if it is not and the transfer is abandoned.

Check / uncheck the box to set the parameter

Timeout values

 

If safe transfer is in use the Timeout values must also be set. These determine how long the program waits before checking the transfer. The formula used is:-

 

Wait = First timeout value + (n x Second timeout value)

Where n is the number of runs transferred

 

Enter the two Timeout values in seconds.
