Predator DNC Features
Predator DNC supplies a single industrial networking solution to connect a diverse array of manufacturing equipment. It unifies communication between CNC machines, robots, CMMs, PLCs, 3D printers, and test stand across the entire shop floor.
The software manages the transfer of critical production data. It reliably sends, receives, and drip feeds CNC programs, offsets, variables, and registers to and from connected equipment, supporting over 50 industrial communication protocols for data exchange.
Predator DNC is engineered to integrate with high-level enterprise systems. This connection drives shop floor workflow by enabling automated synchronization with PLM systems and supporting process control initiated from ERP or MES routers and schedules.
This function empowers machine operators by eliminating unnecessary walking between the CNC and a PC. Operators can use Remote Request™ to initiate drip feed, download, and upload of CNC programs directly from their CNC controls.
