Remote Request dialog

When the DNC server is receiving a NC program from the CNC, auto receive is used to determine the name of the file, and the directory where the file should be saved.

Example: If the DNC is configured to look for a program name at the beginning of the file, in the format Oxxxx, where xxxx is the program name, and it receives the following NC program:

O1234
N0010 G70 G75 G90
N0020 G0 T1 M6
N0030 G0 X46.217 Y48.833
N0040 S1552 M3
N0050 Z55. M08
N0060 G1 Z-3.9968 F9.9
...

Then it would extract the program name, in this case 1234, and format the filename to something like: $DATA\PRG1234.NC.

You can have several different auto receive sets, each set with different parameters for program name extraction, filename creation, destination directory etc.

Enable remote requests

Use this field to enable the remote request feature. Remote request is used to automatically send files to the DNC, when receiving a small program containing information about which program should be sent. You must configure one or more remote request sets to activate this feature.

Scan filename

Check this field if the auto receive name should be extracted from the name of the file and not the contents of the file.

Max scan lines

Use this field to specify how many lines DNC-Max should scan for remote request.

Example: If you specify a value of 5, only the first 5 lines received will be scanned for remote request triggers

Boxes

• Add
  Use this button to add a new auto receive set.
  The new set will contain default settings.
  
  
• Remove
  Use this button to remove a set.
  
  
• Copy
  Use this button to copy a set.
  If you have to create multiple sets with similar settings, use the Copy function to create new sets, after you have configured the first set.
  
  
• Rename
  Use this button to rename a set.
  You should use names that describe the function of the set. I.e. if you have a set configured to save files in a directory shared by multiple CNC machines, you could call it Shared.
  Depending on the setup of multiple sets, the order in which the incoming data is matched to the triggers can sometimes be relevant.
  To accommodate this it is possible to modify the set order. The topmost set is checked first.
• Down arrow
  Move a set down in list of sets.

Found in set

This field shows the name of the set that found a valid program name in the test data entered above.

Destination name

This field shows the program and path extracted from the test data entered above.
