Multi-DNC Communication

Click for an Overview of Multi-DNC

 

Multi-DNC v7.0 for Windows XP / 2000 / NT / 98 is a 32 bit multi-threaded communications and file management system enabling simultaneous uploads and downloads to multiple CNC controls and includes an Editor, Back plotter, File Compare, and the evaluation software Job BASE SE for “paperless” manufacturing.  Multi-DNC v7.0 is easily connected to CAD/CAM systems over industry standard networks and is available in a Client-Server configuration.  Job BASE enables the creation of “Jobs”, which are associated files of CNC Programs, CAD Drawings, Setup Sheets, Tool Lists, Digital Pictures of Setups all linked together under a Job Name and description and stored in a SQL database.  A Job is a single operation with not only the CNC Programs sent to a Machine Connection, but also all supporting shop floor “electronic” documents pertaining to that Job.  With the addition of the Machine Monitoring option, important Machine Event data such as which program is running, spindle on and off indication, Cycle time and Machine Alarms are also written to an SQL database.  Reports can be generated from an IE Browser from anywhere in the world.

A unique feature of Multi-DNC and File Compare is called AutoCompare. When this option is picked within the Multi-DNC setup, a received file will be automatically compared in the background to the same named Original file and then an e-mail message will be sent detailing all of the differences (if there are any) between the two files. That same message file will also be sent to the local printer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Remote mode is one of the most useful functions of Multi-DNC.  Remote allows CNC operators to send, receive, run “drip feed” DNC communications and execute other functions directly from their CNC controls without having to walk back to the DNC computer.  The CAD/CAM programmer is not interrupted by CNC operators asking for tapes, or to send and receive CNC programs from the CAD/CAM workstation.

What is Client-Server?

Client-Server allows any connected Client to do 99% of the functions possible from the Server interface itself. Management personnel can just "watch" what is happening at the Server(s) from their connected computers, or actively "make it happen". The Server computer can be put into a more secure area on the manufacturing shop floor, and be administered remotely across the network. Multi-DNC Clients can be installed on PC based CAD/CAM workstations so that the CNC programmers can actively initiate sending programs to CNC controls from their programming area.

This list is not meant to be the "last word" on these various controls, nor are they the ONLY controls that Multi-DNC will interface with.  CNC controls encountered in the field can have many variations of software contained within them that may affect their ability to interface with Multi-DNC. For example, not all CNC controls can run in a DNC (Direct Numerical Control - Drip Feed) mode from their RS-232 port, they may require software and/or hardware options installed on them to do so.  Multi-DNC can interface to ANY CNC control that can bi-directionally communicate over an RS-232 serial port using ASCII/ISO code and uses a software or hardware handshake protocol. Additionally, it can also communicate with any other serial devices such as BTR (Behind the Tape Reader) boards or serial tape punches. Spectrum CNC Technologies also supports some other types of specialized serial protocols. Please contact Richmond Machine & Engineering directly for further information
