Does anyone here run a Fanuc Oi-TC controller with Ethernet for file transfer? We are thinking about getting the Ethernet card installed on our lathe so we don't have to use the serial connection. Our main question is will we be able to "drag and drop" files onto the controller from the PC, like you do with a Fagor control, or will it still work like the serial connection does, (setup computer to send, then read on controller)? We just want to make sure the system will be better if we send multiple $1000 on a Ethernet card.

On a side note why does a controller built in 2008 still use feet of tape as a unit of memory? have a input for obsolete memory cards? And have next to no memory when all the other other machines we bought around that time had multi gigabyte hard drives?
