DNC Control

How Does it Work?
Using Cables Provided Plug your PC Parallel Port into the Existing Tape Reader. That's all their is to it. To run the machine you put the machine in tape mode and run the machine as normal. During the machine cycle the software will be drawing the tool path on the screen. The PC now becomes the machines memory.

Easy Connection
   Unplug Existing Tape Reader
   Plug Reader Cable into Adapter provided
   Connect parallel cable from PC to Adapter

Control Compatibility
Fanuc 5T, 6T, Yasnac 2000

Before you retrofit your old machine, first consider upgrading to a DNC control and save money. Most of the time the machine is in good condition and the user would just like to have a better control to make the machine easier to program and edit. The Shop-Talk Visual DNC CNC Control software, allows you to program older CNC controls just like newer models. The user can program using standard decimal point formats and use R for radii. No more trailing zeros or I & K’s to calculate. Take advantage of standard Fanuc type can cycles even if your machine does not have that capability. You can even make offset adjustments on the PC instead of using the offsets on the machine. If your old control uses radius instead of diameter programming for the X axis that’s ok . The software will allow you to program in diameter but it will convert it to radial X moves as it process’s it to the machine.

Most older CNC controls will not allow you to program using the standard decimal point format. You always had to program all the trailing zeros. You also had to program all radii using I and K, you could not program a radius using R. Many older controls do not support any can cycles, and even if they do, you could not use them in tape mode for DNC.

Not any more. The Shop-Talk DNC Control system has an internal configurable interpreter that reads most standard G-Code files and converts the G-code to the format your CNC controller will understand. During the DNC process of sending the data to your machine, the Shop-Talk DNC interpreter will re-process each line before it sends it through the parallel or serial port to your CNC machine. If your file has standard Fanuc type can cycles (G70-G76), they can be processed into individual block by block commands that simulate the can cycles for roughing, facing, grooving, drilling and threading.
