Hello again!
For anyone intimately familiar with these controllers, I have many questions, but I'll try to ask only the most critical for right now.
1. Is there a way to backup the system settings, data, offsets, etc? Onto floppy 1.44 disk (or network preferably).
2. I read in an earlier post that those based on NT systems have a high failure rate and that the hard drive should be cloned asap. Is there an easy way of doing that (hopefully without tearing apart the machine....)
Basically I want to back everything up just in case something bad happens, so that the machine can get back up with minimal effort, as the CNC is the lifeline of the shop.
Thanks again! I have more questions, but I'm deciding to put them in another thread, as they are more related to programming loops, system variables, etc.
cheers
