  Numerical control system for machines utilizing a programmable sequence controller - United States Patent 4,029,950
The functional control device 7 is ordinarily constructed by relay circuits and performs a sequence control by activating a relevant relay in accordance with the auxiliary function data.
Accordingly, the logic control circuit is able to selectively set and reset the output terminals designated by the address codes when the set and reset commands and the address codes are supplied to the register circuit so that the numerical control data may be transferred through the sequence controller to the machine controllers.
When it is necessary that the numerical control data for a workpiece be supplied to the numerical controller 16 or the machine control unit 19, an operator sets a workpiece number assigned to the workpiece on the digital switch 72, and then pushes the push button switch 73.

 Direct Numerical Control - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Direct Numerical Control, also known as Distributed Numerical Control, (both DNC) is a common manufacturing term for networking CNC machine tools.
The connection between the control's tape reader and the internal processor was interrupted by a microprocessor based device which emulated the paper tape reader's signals, but which had a serial port connected to the DNC system.
As far as the control was concerned, it was receiving from the paper tape unit as it always had; in fact it was the BTR or Reader Emulation card which was transmitting.

 Numerical Control Machine Operators
Numerical Control Machine Operators typically set up and operate multi-purpose computer numerically controlled machines (CNC machines) to perform any combination of machining operations, such as milling, drilling, reaming, or broaching metal work pieces to specifications.
Numerical Control Machine Operators, also called CNC machine operators, are usually classified by the type of work they perform.
Some Numerical Control (NC) machines manufactured during the past ten years have manual data input, allowing other machine operators to input dimensions into the machine control panel the first time a part is run.

 CNC Tech Talk - Running Programs With Direct Numerical Control - 11/05
With a direct numerical control system, the program will be run from a device (commonly a PC) connected to the machine’s communications port (the RS-232c port).
Most controls that can perform direct numerical control have a special parameter to specify that DNC will be used.
However with direct numerical control, there is no way scan to the restart command from the control panel (the program resides in a computer outside the machine tool).
