Multi-DNC Monitoring What does it do?

• Monitoring is an add-in option to Multi-DNC,
  licensed by the number of Monitored Machines in
  the Multi-DNC system.
• CNC Machines are automatically monitored as they
  are making parts in full production.
• Monitoring tracks what Part is running, Part
  Cycle Time, Spindle Time, Idle time, CNC Alarms,
  Power On/Off, User Log-ins, and DNC program
  transfers.
• All monitored Machine Events are written to a SQL
  database. Each individual event is date and time
  stamped.
• A Web based Monitoring interface provides a rich
  variety of Reports to analyze the Machine Event
  data.

What hardware is used for Monitoring?

Multi-DNC Monitoring Hardware used

• Monitoring uses the Spectrum WiBox device that is
  an Ethernet to RS-232 Device Server with (8)
  digital inputs. There is no need to use external
  PLCs or other adapters.
• The WiBox is mounted inside the CNC Control and
  powered by its internal DC voltage.
• CNC Control I/O is connected to the WiBox for the
  required Machine Event signals.
• The WiBox can be connected by wireless or wired
  Ethernet to the Multi-DNC system.

Multi-DNC Monitoring How does it work?

• As your parts run in production, each Machine
  Event is automatically written to a SQL database.
  The machine data is then instantly available to
  analyze using the web based Multi-DNC Monitoring
  and Reports software.
• You can setup the shift times that your company
  uses as well as break times and other planned
  downtime.
• You can configure the desired shift performance
  of your CNC Machines and then track the logged in
  CNC Operators performance over time.
• There is a Part database to organize your parts
  with an Approved Cycle time and a history of when
  the parts were run.
• The Real Time Dashboard window shows the current
  status of multiple monitored CNC Machines.

Multi-DNC Monitoring Production Details

• Production Details Report
• Graphically displays Machine and Spindle
  Utilization with time breakdown for Cycle,
  Spindle, Idle, Breaks, Setup, Alarms, Robot Load
  and Unload and Other Parts

Multi-DNC Monitoring Machine Utilization

• This Report shows Machine Utilization for
  individual Machines as well as an average for the
  Machine Cell.
• Year to Date Utilization for an individual
  Machine or a Group of Machines can also be
  displayed.

Monitoring also includes Messaging functions
11
Multi-DNC Monitoring Messaging

• Multi-DNC Monitoring has an extensive Messaging
  system for critical events such as Machine Alarms
  to notify the correct person as soon as possible.
• Messages can be sent by e-mail or by text message
  to show up directly on a cell phone.
• Messages can escalate to three different levels
  over time and sent to different people. In this
  example the 1st message is sent 2 minutes after
  the Alarm, the 2nd message after 20 minutes and
  the 3rd after 40 minutes.
• If the Alarm is cleared before 20 minutes have
  elapsed, then the other messages are not sent.

The Monitoring Configuration Manager
12
Multi-DNC Monitoring Configuration
Manager

• Multi-DNC Monitoring has a Configuration Manager
  where you can set up many parameters for your
  Monitoring System.
• You can set up Shift Hours, Break and Lunch
  times, a CNC Operators Database, Performance
  Targets, and a Part Database

The Part Database helps you to organize your
companies parts and also keeps a history log of
the time each part was run.
Details of the Part Database

Multi-DNC Monitoring Part Database

• The Part Database allows you to show a digital
  picture or a solid model screen capture of each
  part, along with a backplotted CNC program
  graphic.
• Additional fields include the Approved Cycle
  Time, Version, Revision, Operation and Release
  Status. Also shown is the preferred CNC Machine
  to use as well as the CNC programs name and its
  network location.
