Last week we shared the news about the impending release of CIMCO Software version 8. To follow that up we wanted to show you some of the enhancements that you will see in CIMCO Editor 8. For this sneak peek we’ll focus on two areas:
- FTP Communications
- Interface enhancements
CIMCO Edit 8 FTP Communications
In the current versions in CIMCO Edit only simple serial communications are available. Serial communications tend to be slow and many machines, particularly Fanuc controls have FTP based data servers. The addition of FTP based communications to CIMCO Edit 8 will give you more flexibility over your manufacturing environment and better performance for transmitting files to these machines. Here is a screenshot of the FTP Client interface:
