Has anyone been sucsessfull networking a Biesse machine.
First I would like to be able to call up programs to run from a netowork drive using the F1 function from Quote.
Second I would like to be able to use a barcode to load a program from a job directory (network) then run. Currently I have to do the following.
1- move all program files from network to local prog dir on machine.
2- scan barcodes into a list (F2 function in quote)
3- Press the start button on computer
4- Then load panel
5-Press cycle button.
What is the point of barcoding if you need to make a list to use?
On my older machines
1- Specify working dir (can be on network)
2- Scan code
3- Load panel
4- Cycle machine
I am trying to avoid having to move/create/maintain a second set of files for use at the machine if possible.
I am being told that you can only run from the local machine directory, has anyone found a workaround? Or am I just missing something?
