CIMCO Integration has been making DNC solutions for the last decade. DNC-Max v4 is the latest version in a long line of proven DNC solutions:

Technology

DNC-Max is a native 32-bit Multitasking/Multithreaded application written in Microsoft Visual C++ for Windows 9x, NT, 2000, and XP.

Capabilities

Supports 1 up to 256 simultaneous wired or unlimited wireless ports for DNC or drip-feed when combined with industry standard RS232 communications hardware from companies such as Digi, Comtrol, etc.

Remote network configuration and administration of multiple servers from a single point, increases ease of management and installation, and makes it possible to monitor DNC server status from anywhere on the LAN, WAN, or across the Internet.

Several levels of password protection, limiting configuration and control options to key personnel.

Powerful remote request and autoname features allow operators the ability to initiate file transfers directly from their CNC control or with the use of hand held terminals for older or CNCs with limited alpha-numeric keypads or other limitations.

Multiple send/restart functions give the operator the ability to send from any point in file, specified by line number, block number or tool change - including remotely with remote request.

DNC-Max provides comprehensive real-time logging of system and machine activity, and the ability to send status reports directly to CNC operators.

Extended Capabilities

DNC-Max meets or exceeds the functionality or flexiblity of any other DNC application on the market. Here are just a few of the features that make DNC-Max the obvious choice for manufacturers of any size:

Parametric System Configuration - unlike any other system ever created DNC-Max utilizes system variables and settings for rapid installation, configuration, and on-going system maintenance. Make a change in one place and it persists through-out the entire system; from the Server down to the Machine/Port settings. This translates into quicker installations, no-hassle management (ex. changing PCs or data locations), and a lower (TCO) total cost of ownership.

Machine settings are stored in reusable text files used universally throughout the DNC-Max system. Add new ports by selecting from a set of predefined/preconfigured machine templates or create your own. 

Integrated Messaging including E-Mail, and ODBC data collection including links to MS Access, Oracle, SQL, and MS Excel.

Webmonitoring(tm) allowing users to remotely monitor all server activity from any 'connected' PC running IE 5.0 or greater or Netscape 4.0 or greater - in the world! Includes complete WAP support for Webmonitoring via browser enabled PDAs, cell phones, and messaging devices such as Blackberry.

Environmental variables including global, directory, report, messaging, and NC variables.
