The Communication Center of Roll Works is the central unit to communicate with external (grinding machines, plants, etc.) and Roll Works internal components.

The number of connected grinding machines, external devices and plants per Communication Center is unlimited. The decision how many Roll Works Communication Centers should be used for an installation depends in most cases only on space conditions (distances between machines or plants, etc.).
