Dual PC versus single PC based CNCs

Dual PC-based computer numerical controls (CNCs) were developed for parallel, high speed processing. One PC is dedicated for real-time activity while a second PC is used to handle workstation functions. A single PC platform CNC has a single processor PC together with the necessary software. Both dual PC- and single PC-based CNCs can provide effective control systems. Future CNC designs are hard to predict because of the existence of numerous factors.
