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.
