Concerned about data integrety of CNC programs with wireless Ethernet to serial conversion? Predator uses wireless CNC adapters connected to each CNC with built in buffering and the ability to still use flow control. This unique solution allows specialized CNC protocols to still be used and doesn't hinder the advanced features such as the ability to drip feed to the CNC over the wireless network. All other standard and advanced DNC functionality is also availabil include remote request.

Worried about setting up a wireless network? Scytec can help you determine the best network and DNC configuration based on your current network infrastructure, security policies, and shop floor usage. The options will vary depending partly on the capabilities of the firewall being used and the IP architecture, but there are a few options listed below as examples.

One possible solution is to use a firewall to separate the wireless shop floor network from the office network where sensitive information is stored. The DNC server and the CNC programs are located on the wireless shop floor network.

Another solution is to have the DNC server and the CNC programs on the secure office LAN and just the CNC machines on the wireless shop floor network.

A third option is to use a firewall to completely separate the wireless shop floor network from the office network. The DNC server is dual homed (two network cards) to allow access to both the wireless shop floor network and the office LAN.

There are many other options as well. Scytec can help figure out the best solution to fit your business needs.
