Greco Systems' OmniDNC brings added capability to early CNC controls with the addition of USB 2.0 to increase memory to virtually unlimited capacity at the control, drip feed critical long part programs to the control or add wired or wireless connection to a local area network and gain access to a file server. OmniDNC can be configured to operate in or out of a DNC system, providing the benefits of both standalone and DNC networking. Software to operate in a DNC environment is provided with OmniDNC and is fully licensed.
USB upgrade to your control
With the proliferation of USB 2.0 devices in the computer industry, Greco Systems introduces OmniDNC to bring advanced technology to early CNC machine tool controls. OmniDNC will transform your control to have virtually unlimited memory capacity, add an FTP service that many new controls provide and adapt a secure wired or wireless DNC 802.11 a/b/g.
USB Flash Memory
USB 2.0 Flash Drives are rugged and reliable data storage devices. Part programs are recorded on the Flash Drive and walked over to the machines requiring download. Very long programs, greater than the memory capacity of the control, can be executed directly off the flash drive in tape or drip feed mode. Part programs are spooled off the flash drive and transmitted to the CNC control in real-time as the machine is cutting the part.
Secure Wireless DNC to the Control
Marry your CNC Control to a Wireless File Server by simply plugging in an external 802.11 Wireless to USB 2.0 Adapter. This configuration gives you secure wireless DNC without the need to purchase additional DNC software. All software to administer and perform DNC functions is included if needed.
FTP Service to the CNC Control
While operating in a Wireless or Wired DNC, OmniDNC can provide FTP service to your control, allowing part programs to be stored to the local USB Flash Drive. Although there are several ways to perform that transfer, including using Microsoft Windows file management control, Greco Systems offers this capability for shops that are already using FTP in their DNC environment.
