LANCNC
The LANCNC controller brings
Ethernet functionality to any CNC machine tool with serial
capability. Program files can be sent to/from the
Calmotion LANCNC data server and any CNC. Large files that will not fit in
the memory of the CNC can be drip fed (DNC) directly from the
data server. The standard capacity is 2 GB with options
for additional memory storage. The LANCNC has been designed
to operate with standard software that comes with a PC
such as Internet Explorer from Microsoft. There are no
additional licenses or additional interface software
requirements. The data server looks like a ftp hard drive on
your network. A programmer can simply drag and drop a file from
his PC to the data server. Once loaded on the server, an
operator can load the file into CNC memory or drip feed a
program directly from the file server without using network
resources.
The data server can be easily made wireless by adding low cost off the shelf wireless routers.
File data is stored locally on a standard SD memory card. In the
event of a network crash, data can still be accessed by the CNC
which eliminates risk due to network outages. Files can be
added manually without the network if required by removing the SD card and updating on a
PC.
