DNC Plant/DNC Cell (FBDN1)
1 Introduction

1.1.2 DNC NC program management

General
DNC manages and archives NC data and transfers it to CNC machine tools. DNC
is the interface between production planning and production and offers a wide
range of functions for NC data management and version management.
Operating system
DNC runs on standard PCs with Windows.
Database
The NC data is managed in a database.
Controller connection
Controllers are connected to DNC via a machine server. A special machine server
is required for each connection type.

DNC provides a machine server (DNC IFC Serial) for connecting any required
controllers via a serial interface that do not support a special protocol.

DNC IFC SINUMERIK runs on SINUMERIK* controllers and integrates them in
the network.

The file system machine type can be used to transfer NC data from and to
any network drives that have been released. Any network-capable NFS (with
additional software, such as Microsoft SFU), SMB or CIFS controller that runs
on Windows can be connected to the DNC system. A DNC IFC file system
license is required for this connection type.

Any of the machine servers can also be used to establish connections with
controllers with different interfaces (e.g. OLE/COM, or special serial protocols).
