1 Introduction

1.1 Product description

DNC is a software module in the Motion Control Information System (MCIS) from
SIEMENS.
MCIS comprises modular software solutions for the integration of CNC and
machine tools in the production system. This means that both state-of-the-art
SINUMERIK controllers* and older (CNC) machine tools, which do not support an
open network interface, can be integrated in an automation network. MCIS is,
therefore, the key to boosting productivity in your production processes.
