Connection to the control
5.1Establishing a connection to the control system: An overview
AMM offers two options for establishing a connection to a control system:
1. Direct connection (peer-to-peer Ethernet)
Direct connection involves connecting the PG/PC to the control system's X127 interface
directly.
You can establish this type of connection if you are where the control system is located.
Note
The SINUMERIK 808 control uses the X130 interface instead of the X127 interface for a
direct connection. Follow the corresponding control manuals when assigning parameters.
2. Network connection
A network connection is a connection between the PG/PC and the control system via a
local area network (LAN).
This type of connection is also possible if the control system is at another location.
Note
Connection via modem is a special feature.
