Link to saw via a PC at the saw
If using a SAW PC and, for example, a CADmatic 2 controller, it is often the case that there is a link from the OFFICE PC to the SAW PC and from the OFFICE PC to the saw controller. Avoid the OFFICE PC - SAW CONTROLLER link by having a link from the SAW PC to the SAW CONTROLLER.
Set the following saw transfer parameters.
Set both PC's to Transfer mode 5 (for CADmatic 2)
Set buffered transfer ON for both machines
Set the PATH FOR SAW DATA at the OFFICE PC to a directory on the SAW PC (not the same as the PATH FOR ONLINE LABEL PC)
Set PROGRAM NAME at SAW PC to the Homag/Holzma program name
Optimise runs and transfer to the saw buffer at the OFFICE PC in the usual way. This sends runs both the PATH FOR ONLINE LABEL PC and to the PATH FOR SAW DATA in CADmatic 2 format.
The user at the OFFICE PC can send a message to the saw operator who must then exit from the ONLINE LABEL PC option at the SAW PC and transfer the buffer to the CADmatic.
