Layouts and Hardware Solutions

Multi I/O Card/USB Hub Connectivity: Add-in Multiport Communications Cards for PC's or Muiltiport USB Hubs expand the serial communications capabilities of the PC beyond the standard none, one or two ports. These ports offer one connection per CNC machine, making switchboxes redundant.

 

Ethernet Hub Connectivity: The Ethernet Serial Hub is similar in function to an RS-232 multiport card. But whereas a multiport card must be installed in your PC, the hub simply connects to your Ethernet network. The CIMCO DNC-Max software will "see" the hubs serial ports across your network even though they are physically located elsewhere.

 

Wireless Connectivity: WiFi is a technology that enables data transfer over a Wireless Ethernet Network on the 2400Mhz radio frequencies, this in removes the need for cabled connections between the DNC Server and/or Ethernet to Serial Hub(s) and CNC machine tools. The CIMCO DNC-Max software works in just the same way whether it is connected to the CNC machines by cables or by a wireless network infrastructure to the IEEE802.11b/g standard.

 

Hardware Solutions: Sharper Solutions for Automation, LLC, sells only hardware which has passed extensive testing.   We make those test results available to you on each items information page thus showing you why we use that “brand” of hardware for that application.
