We're using Predator also. We had quite a few problems with it at first but
we made the choice to install and configure it ourselves. BIG mistake. I
highly recommend that for any DNC system you have somebody knowledgeable
with the software and CNC controls to come in and set it up for you. It
will cost more up front but save lots of headaches in the long run. Now
that we have everything set up correctly, it is very stable and reliable.

I prefer Predator over the others because it uses (or used to anyway)
standard Digi hardware. The server has an RS422 card which links to hubs on
the shop floor. The hubs then have 8 or 16 RS232 ports that go to each
machine. This allowed us to place the hubs over concentrations of machines
and have minimum length to our RS232 drops. It is my understanding that the
Rocket boards most use now need to be installed at a PC and it is home runs
of RS232 back to the server from each machine. For us that setup would mean
one server in the office and at least two if not three PCs on the shop
floor.

Dave,

Predator DNC, v3.1 - stable. Have been using Predator for about
two years with minimal issues. Watch for customized controls, not
all vendors like to work with Predator on sharing communication
secrets.

have fun,
john

Multi-DNC from Spectrum CNC Technologies

www.multi-dnc.com <http://www.multi-dnc.com/>

Send to/receive from multiple machines at a time. Guess that would be why
"Multi" is in the name.

Anyhow, it's been working for almost 5 years now. Low-end networked
computer, serial connection to each machine. One less headache for me.

DLog. Had it for about 4 years and it has been bullet proof. Not one time
has it ever failed. Some of the PC's have but not Dlog.
