The study of configuration-style CNC system based on CANBUS.

Nowadays, numeric control systems or CNC systems are still mainly offered by specific manufacturers, which cannot meet the developing demand of modern technology toward openness, networking, and intelligence. With the decrease of chip cost, the improvement of its performance and the development of fieldbus technology, it becomes easier to develop an open, configurable and intelligent CNC system. In this paper, a new configuration-style CNC system architecture based on CANBUS is presented, including the building of its UML model, the design of communication protocol, the realization of system configures, and the design of software and hardware structures. Finally, an experiment based on configuration-style methods is presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
