The DNC-Max PC Client is the application used for local/remote file transfers, port monitoring and management. Access multiple DNC-Max Servers across a LAN, WAN or the Internet. The DNC-Max Web Client is a modern, browser-based application that works on mobile, tablet, desktop and TV. Supports local/remote file transfers, file preview and port organization. The DNC-Max server supports up to 4000 simultaneous ports per server. Users can choose to run the Server as a service in the background or as an application. Depending on requirements, client and server can be installed on the same PC or multiple dedicated servers with thousands of clients accessing the servers across facilities. Floating licenses allows you the flexibility of licensing only the exact number of applications needed for your unique system configuration. In addition to standard Fanuc/Haas style controls DNC-Max includes comprehensive support for Heidenhain, Mazak, Fagor, and many others. Whether you set up your first system or replace an existing, the DNC application you choose must be compatible with your data. DNC-Max eliminates the need to update all your existing programs. Works with industry standard RS-232 serial communications hardware, including Ethernet and Wireless serial device servers, traditional card based hardware, and existing legacy hardware. Unlike any other DNC product, DNC-Max has been consistently improved over the past decade to meet increasing customer requirements. More than 1500 point releases since version 4. DNC-Max supports a near complete range of both standard and specialized network protocols to communicate with most manufacturing equipment, including Heidenhain, Mazak, Deckel, Agie, Fagor, Brother, Modbus, MQTT, and many more. Add new ports to your DNC system by selecting from a large set of predefined machine port templates or create your own. The DNC-Max clients present a tree-view of your available ports with clear status indications. Organize ports in groups and sub-groups for optimal overview. Manage multiple servers from the DNC-Max Client across LAN, WAN, and Internet. Add, remove, configure or migrate ports, while server(s) are running. Shop Floor Screens let you see the status of all your machines based on their location. Machines are color-coded by state, with notification/alert lights for critical states. Tap any machine to see KPIs (OEE), current operator/job and more. You can display Shop Floor Screens on large TV monitors or any tablet or smartphone with the MDC-Max Web Client. You can also move, scale, rotate and change the look of machines. Select a port, program file(s) and click Send. Files are added to the Queue and transferred sequentially. Advanced options for unlimited filesize dripfeeding if supported by CNC. Transfer from any point in a program. From line/block number or tool change. Tool changes, feedrate and spindle speed are monitored to ensure that correct tool and feed/speed is used. Supports mid-program restart in cases such as after tool breaks.
