DNC applications
Overview
The development environments on Windows operating systems
are particularly well suited as flexible platforms for application
development in order to come to terms with the increasingly
complex requirements of the machine’s environment. The
flexibility of the PC software and the large selection of ready-to-
use software components and standard tools in the development
environment enable you to develop PC applications of great use to
your customers in a very short time, for example:
•
Error reporting systems that, for example, send the customer
a text message to his cell phone reporting problems on the
currently running machining process
•
Standard or customer-specific PC software that decidedly
increases process security and equipment availability
•
Software solutions controlling the processes of manufacturing
systems
•
Information exchange with job management software
HEIDENHAIN
DNC
(option 18)
The HEIDENHAIN DNC software interface is an attractive
communication platform for this purpose. It provides all the data
and configuration capabilities needed for these processes so that
an external PC application can evaluate data from the control and,
if required, influence the manufacturing process.
RemoTools SDK
(accessory)
To enable you to use HEIDENHAIN DNC effectively, HEIDENHAIN
offers the RemoTools SDK development package. It contains the
COM components and the ActiveX control for integration of the
DNC functions in development environments.
RemoTools SDK ID 340442-xx
