What is meant by DNC control?
The term "DNC control" refers to Distributed Numerical Control of machine tools in the manufacturing industry. DNC systems enable centralized management and transmission of CNC programs, as well as feedback of machine data to a central server.
Typical software functions in the area of "DNC control":
- Program Management: Central management and organization of CNC programs for different machines and jobs.
- Data Transmission: Secure and reliable transmission of CNC programs from a central server to individual machines or workstations.
- Version Control: Management of multiple versions of CNC programs and traceability of changes.
- Real-Time Monitoring: Real-time monitoring of machine status and operating data.
- Security Policies: Implementation of security policies for accessing CNC programs and machine data.
- Logging: Recording and logging of transmission activities and machine data for audit and traceability purposes.
- Remote Programming: Capability to remotely program machines and monitor machining progress.
- Data Integrity: Ensuring integrity and consistency of CNC programs during transmission and processing.
- Emergency Recovery: Recovery of CNC programs and operating data in case of failures or interruptions.
- Analysis and Reporting: Analysis of production data and generation of reports to optimize manufacturing processes.
