Summary

Setup follows the format of FlowlineA with two independent machines with independent control systems. In FlowlineB, the MH (Multi-Head) side Industrial PC is replaced with a small footprint Windows XP machine.. The Saw side PC is a much smaller DOS based system, containing DOS boot and network software to map a drive and run its control software from a shared directory on the MH side computer.

Both PCs have a network port and are connected through a 5 port switch located in the MH cabinet

Folder Structure
MH Setup Files	Saw Setup Files	MH Front End Software	Saw Front End Software
*.mul initialisation files c:\	*.saw initialisation files d:\	written in vb.net c:\multi\winmulti.exe	d:\saw.exe

Location of folder structure of MH side can be changed in masterdir.saw. See https://stuga.dokit.app/wiki/Masterdir_File

...To keep the root directory clear of files and to avoid permission issues, the storage directory for the MH initialisation and setup files was changed from c:\ to c:\multi.

Saw Side PC

Arcom ACEpc running DOS
8Mb Flash Drive containing ROM-DOS to boot up
Uses NetBEUI or TCP-IP to share all setup data from MH side PC
Maps d:\ to MH SAW shared directory for all control software
Old units available for loan
Instructions in dokit for re-flashing drive and programming TCP-IP https://stuga.dokit.app/wiki/Manual:ACE_PC
Serial port COM1 used to send instructions to Smartmove/1 or Nextmove ESB Motion control card
Serial Port COM2 used for printer
Located in Saw console

MH Side PC

ACER revo
Windows XP,
Uses TCP-IP to share all setup data from MH side PC and share a folder for batch writing
Connects via USB to Nextmove E100 motion control card to control Machining centre axes and IO
Located in a box next to machining centre door

...This setup has an inherent obsolescence problem - The DOS PC can only map to Windows XP or lower. If the MH side PC needs to be replaced, a system for interfacing DOS to Windows 10 is needed. this has been successfully done with a NAS box with a shared SAW folder. Both DOS and Windows 10 PCs map to it
