Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain an economical and highly efficient NC device by connecting an operator console of the NC device to an upper computer as its terminal equipment. CONSTITUTION:The upper computer B is connected to the operator consoles 1 of respective NC devices A1, A2 and respective control parts 2 are connected to said upper computer B through the operator consoles 1. Consequently, the operator consoles are acted as terminals of the upper computer B. For instance, the operator inputs data from the operator console 1 without passing through the control part 2 and the data can be processed directly by the upper computer B.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to an a-value control device system in which an operator operation unit provided in a numerical control device is controlled by a host computer.

[Prior art]

The configuration of a conventional numerical control (NC) device is shown in Figure 1, and
The NC device system is shown in Figure 2.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 indicates an operator interface serving as a line 5 interface for interaction with the operator, and is composed of, for example, a C-T display section and a thousand-board. 2
A control section is a section that controls the entire NC device, and includes, for example, a CPU, a memory, an operator console interface, a motor control section 1, a machine control section, and the like. These constitute NC device A.

FIG. 2 shows an NC device system, where A and ~Ax are each NC devices. In addition, from now on, when referring to them collectively, we will use the simple KA.
That's what it means. In FIG. 2, the control units 2 of NCf1llA, -AN are provided with an interface with the host computer B, and these and the host computer B are connected to each other.

Next, the operation of the conventional NC device and NC device system will be explained.

In FIG. 1, input/output processing of an operator console 1 and data processing thereof are processed by a control section 2. As shown in FIG.

Similarly #! In FIG. 2 as well, the operator console 1 receives input/output processing and data processing thereof by the control unit 2, is notified by the host computer BK@, receives data processing by the host computer B, and operates according to future instructions.

In the NC device system shown in FIG. 2, it is necessary for each control section 2 to have a section for interfacing with the operator console 1. Particularly in an interactive processing system that involves a lot of data processing, This requires a high-speed control unit 2, a large memory capacity, etc., resulting in an expensive system.

[Summary of the invention]

This invention was made in view of the above points, and
The disadvantages of the conventional configuration can be removed by connecting the data console provided in the device as a terminal to the host computer, and the numerical control device and L-f: are inexpensive and can be easily connected to the power of the host computer. 111 function can be configured.

This invention will be explained below.

[Embodiments of the invention]

FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention.

In Figure 3, upper calculation + IkB is for each NC1ff1A
, ~A9 operator consoles 1 are connected as terminals. That is, each control section 2 is connected to the host computer B via the operator console 1.

Next, the operation will be explained. In FIG. 3, the operator also inputs data, for example, on the operator console 1 of the NC device itA+. The input information is directly sent to the host computer BK without passing through the control unit 2, and after data processing, is sent to the operator console 1. Alternatively, the calculation results or instructions are given to the control unit 2. Similarly, input data or information from the control unit 2 is sent from the operator console 1 of the NC device Am to the host computer B, and the processing results are sent to the operator of the NC device AM. Console 1. Alternatively, it is sent to the control section 2.

The NC device system of the present invention having the above configuration can be widely applied to, for example, an NC device system in an unmanned factory, a robot controller, a sequence controller, etc. that performs advanced data processing.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, in this invention, a system is configured by connecting each operator console of a plurality of NC devices to a host computer, so it is possible to realize a high-performance NC device system at a low price. , Batch processing improves the maintainability of the NC device system, and has the advantage that the control unit installed on site can be compact and of high quality.
