ProDNC has been designed to be really easy for shopfloor use; easy to use and easy to see by non-computer literate operators. DNC file transfer via serial RS232 to any type of CNC is now easier and quicker than ever...

ProDNC is available in three different formats - the first format provides "manual" DNC transfer where an operator sets up the CNC machine ready to send or receive and then walks to the computer and selects the file to DNC. The second method is similar to the first, but has full Client/Server control, so the user can use wireless Laptop or notebook devices - now including an Android DNC App - to transfer files, and the third method, whereby DNC transfer is initiated totally at the CNC control, no more walking back and forth between the CNC and the Computer, no more waiting about ready for other files to finish transferring!

• To send a file to your CNC you create a small program that you edit with the required filename. Send out this file through your CNC RS232, then press receive and the file comes through a short while later. >> more
