Hardware Compatibility
DNC-Max works with any off-the-shelf, industry standard RS232/serial communications hardware. Which means that a software/hardware solutions can be tailored to meet your exact needs - leaving room for future expansion or working with existing legacy hardware. So, whether your system requires traditional card based solutions, Ethernet to serial hubs, or even wireless hardware DNC-Max is the safe investment.
Flexible Auto-Receive and Remote Request
90% of the DNC systems purchased in the last three or four years have been purchased based on their ability to support some type of remote request or remote file transfer initiation. DNC-Max delivers with the most flexible auto-receive and remote request capabilities on the market. Whether you are concerned about directory control (including support for multiple paths and/or sub-directories), flexible remote triggers, customizable formatting, or remote pause/stop/restart capabilities DNC-Max can handle the job.
Operation Message Reports
For a remote-based DNC system to be truly effective there must be visibility into the system from the shop floor. Success and/or failure reports can be configured and formatted for any or all machines in the DNC-Max system. |

| Operators are informed of transfer status via Success/Failure messages sent to CNC controller from DNC-Max. |

Remote Administration
One of the many features that separate DNC-Max from the rest of the DNC programs on the market is our powerful Client/Server architecture. DNC-Max was designed with a separate Server application for handling the communications and activity logging operations of the system. A DNC-Max Client is used for local (on the DNC server PC) or remote file transfer initiation, port status monitoring, viewing of port and system logs, and port administration. The DNC-Max Client automatically recognizes all DNC-Max Servers on the LAN and can quickly be configured to access remote DNC-Max Servers across a WAN or even the Internet. Nothing approaches the power of the DNC-Max Client/Server functionality.

Wireless
The Pro W System is a professional grade, WiFi (802.11b) wireless, turnkey DNC system option for up to 256 CNCs. If you have 1 CNC or 256 CNCs on your shop floor and are looking to implement a wireless system with wireless Ethernet-based hardware, you need a Pro W System. Each system includes DNC-Max Server (from 1 - 256 ports), DNC-Max Client, WiFi wireless Ethernet Access Point and WiFi wireless Ethernet to Serial Hub (1, 2 and 4-port solutions).
File Transfer Logs
DNC-Max creates logs recording which files have been transferred to which machine at what time. This file transfer log is ideal for those companies pursuing ISO certification.
Auto File Backup
Prevent machine downtime caused by accidental file deletion and corruption. DNC-Max will automatically backup existing files upon Auto or Manual File Receiving. Proven files will not be lost by accident. This is another important feature for ISO certification.
