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.
