CNC TIPS
#6 File Transfer
Centurion CNC TIPS are applicable to the Milltronics Centurion I, V, 6, and 7 controls.

The procedure to load a file into the Milltronics control starts from the main menu. File management can be
done two ways, either through the F8(PROG) or F10(UTIL). Once in either menu, select the F3(FILES) menu.
This allows files to be loaded, saved, renamed, copied, and deleted.

Load a program into the control can be done by selecting F1(LOAD). Depending upon the machine options, you
may have multiple ways of loading files consisting of, but not limited to, floppy, multi-format card reader, and a
network drive) To select the correct drive, press the F12(DRIVE) key. See picture on below.

A: Floppy Drive
E: Multi-Format Card Reader
P: Network Drive
Select the file by placing the cursor (using the F7 and
F8 arrow keys) in front of the file(s) that are to be
loaded and press the F2(SET). This will highlight the
file(s). Pressing the F1(START) will load the file(s) into
the memory of the control.

**** If the correct drive location is selected and the

file is not shown, press the letter D on the alpha keypad
on the control. This will toggle the FULL DOS FILE
