Used in conjunction with HEIDENHAIN's PWM 20 diagnostic tool, the new ATS (Adjustment and Testing Software) software provides a powerful and easy-to-use platform to diagnose encoder faults and to evaluate the output signals of HEIDENHAIN.

• Heidenhain Itnc 530 Pc-software

Hello all,
Well, no advise needed (for the moment ) with programming but with transferring programs to machine. I have two machines wihch both have Heidenhain controll. THe newer is with TNC426 and there I use TNCRemoNt and ethernet and it works well.
But. the older with TNC355.. For many years I have used an old laptop and a program called Mikron Data Transfer MDT.exe) to transfer programs
in and out. If the program was over 999 blocks, I could transfer it blocwise.
Before I buyed that laptop, I tried at least five different desktops with different setting and could not get them to 'cooperate' with TNC355.
Now, the poor laptop is dead and I´ve bought a 200Mhz desktop-computer,which I have connected to that computer which I use to make programs with (Would LAN describe that?)
Now, the problem is that I cannot get the connection between TNC355 and that 200Mhz computer to work, not using MDT.exe or not with TNCRemoNT either (No,the cable is not the problem). I have tried every possible setting I could figure out but
The funny ( ) part comes here:
A fellow from Heidenhain Finland (I´m a Finn ) was here with his laptop and with his laptop the connection worked with no problems with both software, MDT and TNCRemoNT. We configured my desktop to use exactly same settings than his laptop and it did dot work!
The question is: What difference and where could cauce this? Would it be some setting somewhere, or could it be some difference with the way the COM-ports are constructed/configured?
I know I could buy anothr laptop and get that networked with my other computers or just use a linking cable between that 200Mhz and laptop,
but I feel that it would be more comfortable to use that desktop.( I´ve bought a sealed 'cabinet' to protect that desktop agenst dust, so I wouldn´t want to use it jus for a laptop, it woul be halfempty that way )
