Siemens · CNC controls
A WiFi USB stick for your Siemens control.
SINUMERIK copies a program from the stick to the NC; running from it needs an option. WiFiDrive stays in its USB port, looks to the Siemens like any stick, and gets your programs there over your own WiFi.
- Works as it ships: the Siemens reads it as is.
- Run a program straight from it, as from any stick.
- If your Siemens won’t read it, a full refund within 30 days.

The stick
What a Siemens asks of it.
- Loads a programCopies it from the stick to the NC to run it; running or simulating from the stick is not recommended, and running from a USB drive needs the EES option
- PortThe USB softkey works only with the stick in the operator panel's front interface
- SubprogramsEXTCALL calls a program on the front stick by a USB: path
- Writes to itStandard archives (.ARC) and log files, by key combination; Siemens says a stick is not persistent storage
- WiFiDrive’s layoutThe one it ships with
