What's New
This version of CIMCO DNC-Max V8 includes a number of improvements over previous versions.
- New user interface.
The new user interface in V8 follows the latest standards for Windows® user interface design.
- Comprehensive on-line help.
Now everything you need to know about functions that was previously contained in the reference manuals is on-line and at your fingertips. Stumped on a function? The ? icon, F1 key , or the Help button will take you right to the information you need.
- Remote administration.
Monitor and control your DNC servers from anywhere, over a local network or Internet connection.
- Flexible configuration.
Add, remove, configure or migrate ports from one server to another, while the server is running.If you have a large number of identical CNC's, just configure once, and then distribute the configuration to all your DNC servers.
- Advanced standard protocol.
The new standard protocol contains a number of new features, including multiple auto receive and remote request configurations, advanced backup feature, and a new innovative solution for trigger configuration.
- Start/restart transmission.
Start or restart a transmission from a specific line number, block number or tool change. In addition, CIMCO DNC-Max will keep track of tool changes, and changes in feed rate and spindle speed, to ensure that when you start or restart a transmission, the correct tool and feed/speed is used.
- Dynamic feed/speed adjustment.
On-line NC parameter adjustment while transmission is in progress. Allowing the operator to modify the feed and speed, without modifying the NC-program, eliminating a common stop/modify/restart cycle.
- Improved log facility.
CIMCO DNC-Max provides comprehensive logging of system activity, and the ability to send status reports directly to CNC operators.
- Access control.
Several levels of password protection, limiting configuration and control options to key personnel.
