iTNC530 backup
Hi All,
I am new to this Section. We have some new Milling Machines with Heidenhain iTNC530 controllers and I need to make backups of all program/parameters and plc program.
I am not sure if anyone is familiar with these systems and could possibly give me the procedure to do this. The operator manual is confusing.
Thanks

Hi,
It is quite simple through a software called TNCRemo - this is available for download from the Heidenhain website. Its quite easy to use- please PM or post here if you need any help.

Re: iTNC530 backup
Dear BrendanDixon,
While the procedure given out by everyone here is correct, I would suggest doing one additional thing beyond what has been mentioned - I would suggest you remove the hard disk from your machine (the controller would have a blue/grey tray below, in which the hard disk is located) and make a ghost backup of the disk by connecting it to your computer with a hard disk to usb cable. This should be done after following the steps mentioned by the other members here.
While the backup through TNCRemo will take care of your parameters and PLC, it would not take care of your system software if your hard disk crashed. I have one dead machine at the moment as the hard disk is unrecoverable. if the hard drive crashed, It would be like having all your data backup up but no windows/mac os to load it back onto.
Its quite straight forward to do- if you need any help i'll be happy to guide you as and when needed
Best regards
Jaideep
