Setting it up

  1. Check option 18HEIDENHAIN DNC (option 18, SIK2 3-03-1) is required on TNC 640 and later; integrator documentation says it is not required on iTNC 530. Check with MOD and the SIK menu.
  2. Allow external accessEnable external access (MOD > External access / CfgAccessCtrl). On iTNC 530, REMOTE.PERMISSION in TNC:\TNC.SYS controls it.
  3. Open the portsiTNC 530 / TNC 426: TCP 19000. TNC 640: TCP 19003 to the control and 19010 to 19015 back to the client agent (Cybus guidance).
  4. Install the clientDNC clients use HEIDENHAIN's RemoTools SDK (Windows COM), so the collector runs on Windows.
