A data interface device for data transmission between a numerically controlled machine tool and external data processing device, including: a control interface unit for data transmission with a control device of the machine tool and communications unit for data transmission with the external data processing device. Stored configuration data specifies a communication protocol used by the control device from a first group of communication protocols and a communication protocol used by the external data processing device from a second group. The control interface unit uses any protocol from the first group of communication protocols for data transmission and selects the communication protocol used by the control device for data transmission with the control device. The communications unit uses any protocol from a second group of communication protocols for data transmission and selects the communication protocol used by the external data processing device for data transmission with the data processing device.
