On the factory floor, over 2000 companies now use Multi-DNC for reliable shop floor communications. As multi-tasking serial DNC software, Multi-DNC works in all Windows software from 95 to XP and enables a serial star topology on the factory floor.

With each machine tool getting its own serial port, Multi-DNC can simultaneously enable part program upload or downloads from any number of machine tools. Since Multi-DNC acts like a file server, CNC operators can use the Remote Call File feature to ask for their needed file from a distance.

Operators can also save their NC files automatically (just punch at any time), reset the port at a distance (simply punch out "RESET") or even get a remote directory (punch out "DIR" and get the list sent back as a file).
 

For example, to get a file named O1234, one would punch a file that looks like this:

%
O5000 (CALL FILE)
(SEND-1234)
M30
