Heidenhain Communication Source
Overview
Scytec DataXchange can communicate directly with Heidenhain TNC 530 and TNC640 controls. This requires the free Heidenhain DNC software to be installed on the same PC as the DataXchange Service. A machine license for the DNC option, also known as Option 18, is also required. Machines using third-party DNC solutions will likely already have this option enabled.
Contact Scytec or your Scytec reseller for more information.
Configuration
To connect DataXchange to a supported Heidenhain machine, add the Heidenhain communication source. Select the type of control you are connecting to and the port number will be filled in automatically. For reference, the port numbers are:
- iTNC530: Port 19000
- TNC640: Port 19003
