SYNTEC CNC

Neuron can use the Neuron HUB driver and NeuronHUB Windows program to indirectly access the SYNTEC CNC system, enabling real-time collection of various device operation data, including program names, spindle override, operation status, PLC points, parameters, global variables, etc.

PLC Data

Address Format

AREA ADDRESS[.BIT][.LEN]

Identifier	Description	Type	Permission
I	Input Bits	bit/int8/uint8	Read
O	Output Bits	bit/int8/uint8	Read
