Connection to a PC through WinDNC
3.2 Connection to a PC through WinDNC
The PC operative system must be Windows
®
and it must have the WinDNC software installed (V4.0
or newer). The CNC must be configured just like another node within the local network or internet.
Possible connections:
•From a PC.
The connection may be initiated at any PC and addressed to any CNC. Two PC's cannot be
connected to each other.
To establish the connection, the WinDNC allows the user to enter the CNC's IP address to be
used for the connection.
• From a CNC.
The connection is always addressed to the DNC server. The DNC server is defined by machine
parameters.
Communication status
As with the communication via serial line, the DNC status screen shows its status through Ethernet.
When having the DNC available, the top of the screen shows the message" DNC E". The connection
may be activated and deactivated from the softkey menu.
It is possible to connect several WinDNC (up to 10) simultaneously to the same CNC. The access
protection is by operation. If several WinDNC initiate an operation, the commands are processed
one by one while the rest of the WinDNC's wait.
The access to a DNC server is configured by machine parameters. Refer to the chapter on machine
parameters for Ethernet in the installation manual.
