LINUX has become more popular as a server operating system because it is "open sourced", and there is less "hidden marketing" features than in Windows. Windows has become very popular in manufacturing, due to its low cost and high performance. A network of PC DNC server computers can act like a single large DNC server computer.Ī DNC server computer can also be used to create new programs or edit programs, but this activity is usually done on a graphic workstation (or PCs) with CAD capability. A DNC Server Computer in simple terms is any computer running a DNC service program. The primary role of a DNC server computer is to store programs, and to send and receive data files. Now days we "direct connect" CNC to computers using RS232, or "bridges"(modems) to connect via Ethernet, BlueTooth, USB and other communication "media".
RS232 has been around a long time, and was originally intended as the standard for hooking modems to computers and terminals.Ī modem allows connection to the public phone system for long or short distance communication. Some CNC can only execute programs from their memory, others can "drip-feed" - execute from an input device, while reading ahead a few blocks. We supply cables needed to attach the BTR to the control and have application notes on how to configure our BTR for almost every control.Ī CNC (computer numerical control) has memory and "devices" (RS232 ports) to move data in and out of its memory. ADR's BTR supports hundreds of different NC/CNC models. Older machines may not have memory and execute blocks fed to them from a tape reader(NC machines). The machine actions are determined by a program - a command is called a block. The control operates the machines in real-time. specializes in providing networking for all types/brands of machines.įactory machines have a specialized computer in them, called the "control". You do not have to buy new machines, or buy an expensive "DNC" options from the machine manufacturers, to gain the improvements provided by DNC. Programs in CNC memory can be saved easily and rapidly, so you will not loose edited files.ĭNC saves money DNC is constantly improving, and now is more affordable than ever. Network security features keep your files safe. Networking eliminates errors, and gives all machines a unified way to access files. Today DNC is an essential element of CIM and production logistics. Originally Distributed Numerical Control (DNC) was used to save time and money over manual methods of loading programs, and using punched tape. Or briefly, as manufacturers move from Functional structure to Process-oriented structure they "decentralize" to gain flexibility and quality. Simply put, you need to connect the shop floor with engineering and business systems. DNC is Delivering data to computer integrated NC machines
