The most popular and advanced LAN Based DNC system available. Today, corporate networks expand beyond the front office and engineering department. Network backbones are found on 80% of the manufacturing shop floors. This system leverages the existing investment in LAN infrastructure and supports up to 256 CNCs per DNC Server PC.
		Includes the following features: Leverages existing corporate Ethernet backbone Supports up to 256 CNCs per PC Every RS-232 port is surge suppressed Requires Windows NT/2000
	Single Source for Hardware Fed up with multiple hardware and software vendors? Predator Flex/N Bundles include all required DNC hardware from a single vendor. Just add a PC and RS-232 cables for a complete shop floor network.
	Plug and Play™ Frustrated with IRQs and memory conflicts? Predator Flex/N Bundles support plug and play installation under Windows NT/2000. Conflict free IRQs and memory addresses are automatically assigned without setting dip switches or jumpers. Supports extended IRQs and can even be configured without an IRQ.
	Open Architecture Design Tired of proprietary hardware? Predator Flex/N Bundles support Windows NT/2000 and can be used with any software application. Optional device drivers are available for DOS, SCO Unix, Solaris, Unix SVR4, and Novell.
	Expand to 256 CNCs or RS-232 Devices Want to utilize your existing network infrastructure? Predator Flex/N bundles add up to 256 industry standard RS-232 ports to any PC via the company network backbone. Each RS-232 port connects to one CNC or RS-232 device for communications. Every RS-232 port can have different baud rates and parameter settings. Communicate simultaneously to all of your CNCs, CMMs, Tool Pre-setters, Gages and more with Predator DNC or Desktop.
	Surge Protection Have a noisy environment or frequent lightning storms? Every RS-232 port on a Predator Flex hub is individually surge protected. Save thousands of repair dollars from electrical spikes and surges. Improved reliability during RS-232 communications by filtering electrical noise, surges or spikes from EDMs, welders, air compressors, machine tool motors and numerous other sources of electrical, RF and EMF noise.
	Up to 115,000 Baud Is your bottle neck RS-232 performance? Predator Flex/N Bundles support up to 115,000 baud for even the most demanding high speed machining throughput. Standard PC serial ports support up to 19,200 baud.
	32-Bit RISC based RS-232 Co-Processor Concerned about overloading your PC? Predator Flex/N Bundles add a 32-bit RISC based RS-232 co-processor for superior performance. The RISC co-processor handles 99% of all RS-232 communications freeing the CPU for other tasks.
	Multiple 128k RS-232 Buffers Suffering with dwells marks, data starvation or slow feed rates? Predator Flex/N Bundles include a high speed128k RS-232 buffer in every I/O Hub. Standard PC serial ports support a buffer size of only 16 characters or approximately a single CNC program block.
	8 or 16 CNCs or RS-232 devices per Hub Need to add more CNCs, gages, CMMs, or other RS-232 devices? Expanding your Predator Flex/N bundle is easy, just plug in another 8 or 16 port Flex/N hub. Connect up to 16 - 16 Port hubs for a total of 256 CNCs or RS-232 devices per PC (a limitation of NT and the PC platform in general). Every Flex/N hub uses industry standard male DB25 or RJ45 style RS-232 connectors to simplify wiring to your CNCs. We highly recommend Predator Grizzly Cable for your shop floor network cabling needs.
