Thanks for the reply

Before buying this software what all should I do regarding cables and will I still need a DNC program Ive been told that DNC for you is a good buy

As you might see I dont know much about what I need and I really dont need to ripped off or buy unnecessary programe's

Thanks in advance

For DNC we use NCNet from CADEM. Nice little program that works well with Fanuc 0M (I use it to communicate with our Sabre 750). For the cabling you will need to make up a cable according to the pin-outs and CADEM have all the info for that. More importantly is the question of a RS232 serial port on your PC - not a lot of PC's have them these days and you may need to buy a serial card.
