2.2.4 Station PC

With the DNC Plant variant, the following activities are carried out on the station
PCs:

Configuration of the connected machine interfaces

Data maintenance and management for the connected machines

Data transfer to and from the CNC machine tools

Comparison of NC programs

2.2.5 NC programming system

NC programming systems can be integrated in the DNC network to transfer NC
data. NC data can be imported into the management structure of DNC by NC
programming systems integrated in the network. No MCIS software needs to be
installed on the programming system computer for this purpose. The DNC HMI
software can, however, be installed on an NC programming system in order to
operate the DNC system. If the DNC HMI workstations are configured accordingly,
the controllers can be accessed directly.

2.2.6 Tool setting device terminal

If you want to integrate a tool setting device in the DNC system, an additional DNC
workstation is required (currently only possible with DNC Plant).
The setting device is a separate DNC installation on a PC.
Tool setting devices can be connected to DNC as follows:

Via the serial interface

Via the file system
The tool offset data is transferred from the tool setting device to DNC by means of
an upload on the tool setting device terminal. The appropriate file must then be
transferred from DNC (not from the tool setting device terminal) to the CNC
machine tool.
