I'm not too familiar with Meldas controls but I believe they are referring to DNC or DRip Feeding to the control from a PC.
DNC or Drip Feeding is "Direct Numerical Control" where the CNC Control reads the G-Code Program from the PC.
You may have a variety of connections to use. The most common is RS232C.
Hopefully someone with your configuration will chime in and be of better assistance.
BTW: You will need a software to DNC to your machine. The cheapest I know of is NC Plot. www.ncplot.com

NC Plot will be cheaper and better for you IMPO. Besides the creator of NC Plot has a sub forum here and gives real time support. Scott does a great job in taking care of his customers.Toby D.

Had all night to play on the Mill. Got the DNC function working. Bob cad is using the predator and it has the DNC function. I will take some vidio and explain how I did it . I also need to document the parameters. I will post the vidio later this week.
