Special Protocols
A challenge when interfacing into machine tools is that in some cases special protocols are used. Two well-known examples are Mazatrol and Heidenhain. Many DNC systems offer support for these protocols. Another protocol is DNC2 or LSV2 which is found on Fanuc controls. DNC2 allows advanced interchange of data with the control, such as tooling offsets, tool life information and machine status as well as automated transfer without operator intervention.

Famous quotes containing the word special:
“The rebellion is against time pollution, the feeling that the essence of what makes life worth living—the small moments, the special family getaways, the cookies in the oven, the weekend drives, the long dreamlike summers Mso much of this has been taken from us, or we have given it up. For what? Hitachi stereos? Club Med? Company cars? Racquetball? For fifteen-hour days and lousy day care?”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
