Automatic Messaging From The Machine Tool - Brief Article

Users of CNC Professional, the company's PC-based CNC machine tool controller software for Windows, are said to now have an added benefit. A machine tool will automatically call the user's cell phone or pager and send a detailed text message on the status of the machine.

The messages from the machine tool can be any ASCII text message, alphanumeric message or tone signals. The messages can be initiated and/or triggered by almost any event. Perhaps an error occurred, M code, end of program, completion notice, number of parts made, laser power, low voltage, loss of motor control or any certain user interaction. Users can arrange for their machine tools to send messages at regular time intervals so that they can receive machine updates. A complete list of national and international SMS (short message service) service providers for all major cell phone and pager carriers is included.
