HMI software for CNC controls

■ Overview
DNC Cell supports handling of the NC programs. DNC Cell is
software for convenient management, archiving and transfer of
NC programs, and can be used to network small CNC production
areas.
As a result of the convenient electronic NC program management
and archiving, the NC programs are always available in
their latest version for the CNC machines of the complete production
area. This is particularly relevant in production areas
with a high degree of flexibility and variation and where NC data
frequently change, for example in machining centers, special
machines and flexible production lines.

■ Benefits
7 Cost reduction in NC data management
- Convenient, central NC program management with provision
of the NC programs
- Low management overhead and simple handling mean that
a disk drive for archiving of NC data is unnecessary
7 Increase in machine operating times and reduction in set-up
times through reliable and fast provision of NC program
7 No DNC terminals are required on the machine because the
NC program is requested directly on the CNC operator panel
7 Cost-effective and reliable electronic data archiving
7 Automatic NC data archiving of the SINUMERIK control
7 Simple integration of many different types and generations of
CNCs
7 Direct connection of SINUMERIK PCU 50.3 with Windows via
standard Industrial Ethernet network
