Introduction
Do you use CNC machine tools? If so, you probably want to
transfer files to and from the controller for backup, retrieval or for
ease of editing. Perhaps you already have an expensive CADCAM system
that automatically generates the CNC code in your production office,
but you need something to use on a shop floor PC or laptop
computer to transfer files into your machines.
