Data interface device for updating control programs, update system, manufacturing system, method for updating control programs and method for controlling a numerically controlled machine tool

A data interface device for updating control programs of a control device of a numerically controlled machine tool, comprising:

• a first interface module configured for data transmission with a control program database;
• and
• a second interface module configured for data transmission with one or more control devices;
• wherein the data interface device is configured to receive an update data record from the control program database via the first interface module and to transmit a configuration data record to a control device via the second interface module, said configuration data record causing said control device to update a control program stored in a memory unit of the control device on the basis of the transmitted configuration data record;
• characterized in that
• the data interface device is configured for updating control programs of at least two different control devices and for this purpose comprises a processing module which is configured to generate, on the basis of a received update data record, at least a first configuration data record which can be read by the first control device of the at least two control devices and a second configuration data record which can be read by the second control device of the at least two control devices.
