5. DNC is used to transmit and receive CNC part files and configuration files between a networked file server PC and a CNC machine on a factory floor AxDNC has the capability to perform this communication via a standard Serial type interface usually RS 232 and via an Ethernet interface to a variety of CNC machines in a simultaneous manner Each CNC machine connection is controlled independent of all others and can be individually configured and controlled There is no practical limit as to the number of CNC machine which can be connected to AxDNC Presently the software can communicate to a Serial interface with flow control based upon a combination of hardware signals and or control codes such as Xon Xoff Communication speeds to 230 400 baud are supported Communication speeds are generally dependent upon the capability of the CNC machine serial interface and the length of the RS232 cable Via an Ethernet port at the CNC machine such as the Memex Ax2200HS Ethernet to Serial bridge hosting communications to a Mx1053 serial interface or an Mx1100 BTR or a Ax9150 UMI the AXxDNC software can communicate with the CNC machine at Ethernet speeds to 100Mbps Virtually unlimited distance between the file server and the CNC machine can be accomplished This together with running the local serial speed at its highest rate that the CNC machine can run ensures the fastest and securest download speeds AxDNC Dashboard Overview Window The AxDNC Dashbo
