Open CNC Screen Display Function

2.OPERATION B-63164EN/04
2.2.2 Start (Multiple Connection)
The Ethernet version of the CNC screen display function allows one
personal computer to be used for operating two or more CNCs
connected over an Ethernet network (the maximum number of
connectable CNCs is determined according to the related Ethernet
limitation). The response to manipulation for display becomes slower
as the number of connected CNCs increases.

� Starting the function
This function can be started using the same starting procedure
described in Section 2.2.1. Specify the host name (such as
"CNC1" or "CNC2") or IP address that matches the CNC to be
connected.
� Simultaneous Ethernet and high-speed serial bus connection
It is possible to run the CNC screen display function for a CNC
connected via the high-speed serial bus and that for the CNC
connected via the Ethernet simultaneously on a single personal
computer. To set up the functions for this purpose, perform the
setting procedures described in both Section 1.1, "Setup (HSSB
Version)," and Section 1.2, "Setup (Ethernet Version)." To start
and terminate the functions, follow the procedures described in
Section 2.1, "Start and Termination (HSSB Version)," and
Section 2.2, "Start and Termination (Ethernet Version)."
