The Machines dialog offers functions to connect a defined group of machines to a DNC interface (DNC-Max).
In CIMCO MDM you can dedicate projects, CAD files, CAM files, and NC programs to a group of machines, which in turn is connected to a DNC interface. In this way, you can store and access NC programs in the database directly from the machine control (only possible with DNC-Max Auto-Receive and Remote Request functions).
