Greco Systems' e-DNC Explorer™ is latest
in state-of-the-industry technology for communicating with
machine tools in a DNC
Network
environment. Inventor of VersaNet in 1984 and WinDNC in the
early 90's, Greco Systems capitalizes on
20 years technical experience in the industry that enables
the production of this new product.
True Client/CommServer™
Environment
e-DNC Explorer introduces true Client/CommServer
environment. In this environment, e-DNC Explorer
operates as a remote terminal with
multiple communication host computers and hubs distributed
throughout the network. In
addition, multiple copies of e-DNC Explorer, operating on different
computers, may also interface with the
same communication host computers and hubs.
The Client/CommServer
Advantage
There is no requirements to have a
physical connection between the e-DNC Explorer operator console
and the machine tool. The
customer is in complete control of the physical architecture of his
network.
Therefore, the customer may choose to
centralize control of the environment by having one or two
consoles strategically placed on his
network or he may decentralize by having a console at every
machine tool or cell.
Part Library Folder
Part Library Folder enables the
customer to organize its files from a standard directory
structure in folder
groups containing the
information needed to produce a particular part. The operator,
having the ability
to examine the Part Library
Folder, is given access under the part name or number to information
such
as Setup Sheets,
Tooling Data, Traveler, Drawings and Part Programs. The
Planner builds a Part Library Folder by simply dragging
and dropping the required files in a Window.
Multi-Level Security
In addition to the security adopted for
the Local Area Network (LAN) environment, e-DNC Explorer
employs multi-level security as it
applies to DNC Administrators, Operators and Machine Tools. An
Operator can be restricted to a single
machine or given access to any number of machines on the
network. Administrators are given
access to communication setup parameters as it applies to
machine tools.
Feature Rich
e-DNC Explorer, by design, is rich in
features to provide the customer the tools needed to maintain
higher levels of production and
performance. The software was written in Microsoft Visual C++
to
gain an edge on overall system
performance. Maintainability and migration to later operating
systems
is further enhanced under this
development environment.
