Blockwise transfer
If you are transferring data between two TNCs, the receiving control must be started first.
In the operating modes PROGRAM RUN/FULL SEQUENCE and SINGLE
BLOCK, it is possible to transfer programs which exceed the memory
capacity of the TNC by means of blockwise transfer with simultaneous
execution (see page 3-6).
