User manual

Introduction

This manual is intended to provide a description of the Calmotion LANCNC-RMT CNC

network FTP data server. The LANCNC-RMT is an FTP server with at least 2 GB of

local memory stored on a removable SD card. Data can be accessed over a LAN network

as well as from an SD card mounted on the LANCNC-RMT.

Requirements

The LANCNC-RMT device will work with any CNC control with a standard DB25 RS-

232 serial connection for the purposes of input/output of CNC data. Typically, CNC

manufacturers refer to these as read and punch tape functions. The LANCNC-RMT is

power by a DC source within a range of 7-30 VDC. An RJ6 cable connects the

LANCNC-RMT to a display used by the operator to view files and initiate data transfer

to/from a CNC machine tool including DNC or drip feed control.

Description of Operation

The LANCNC-RMT has the ability to remotely access FTP servers on the network in

addition to providing access of its local storage to other devices with its FTP server.

From the machine, the operator can view files and directories of the local SD storage or

view files located on remote FTP servers on the network. To access files remotely, a

networked data server is required. This can be the a main computer or network attached

storage device also know as NAS. Using the remote access of data for all the machines

stored in one common place is advantageous with respect to version control. This is

important for machine shops that requires operators to use programs maintained in one

place and not locally on the machine.
