WinPCIN is a specialized communication utility from Siemens designed for data exchange—primarily uploading and downloading NC (Numerical Control) and PLC data—between a PC and Siemens SINUMERIK CNC controllers.
Easily transfer "Series Start-up" files, NC/PLC archives, and tool data from the controller to your PC for safekeeping.
Compatible with Windows XP, Windows 7 (32-bit and 64-bit).
| Parameter | Typical CNC Value | |----------------|----------------------| | COM Port | COM1 (or USB-to-serial converter) | | Baud Rate | 9600 / 19200 / 38400 | | Data Bits | 8 | | Parity | Even / None | | Stop Bits | 1 | | Flow Control | RTS/CTS or XON/XOFF |
If using a modern laptop without a COM port, a high-quality USB-to-Serial adapter is required. Ensure the adapter uses a reliable chipset (such as FTDI or Prolific) with up-to-date Windows drivers. Configuration and Cable Pinout
