    - A manufacturing system in which number of machines are interconnected with the help of a central computer through a direct connection in real time, is called as Direct Numerical Control (DNC) system.

    - In DNC system, several machine tools can be directly controlled by a central computer.

    - Punched tapes are eliminated in DNC system.

    - The information equivalent to the punched tape from each machine tool is received by the DNC computer and stored in disk or magnetic tape data storage.

    - There are four basic components of DNC system. They are as follows:

    1. Central Computer or DNC Computer

    2. Bulk memory which stores the NC programs

    3. Telecommunication lines

    4. Machine tools.
