Open Control

The Open Architecture concept is gaining more attention because of growing demand from end users. Numerical Control systems are limited in terms of portability because they are dependent on vendor-specific environment, to overcome this limitation Open Architecture Control was introduced. Open Architecture improves portability, interoperability, scalability and ability to reconfigure of an existing CNC machine. Open control system increases the flexibility of CNC machine by allowing vendor-neutral environment. Open Architecture Controller allows the end user to modify the existing system by integrating components from different manufacturers which reduce cost as well as increase extendibility of the system. In this review paper, different initiatives and developments on Open Architecture Controller are presented. This paper also covers the approaches made by researchers in the field of simulation of table movement in CNC machine.

<p>'Tangible lighting controls' is used as an umbrella term to describe lighting control systems that are easy to understand and pleasurable to use by end-users. The crucial question posed is, what is the nature of interface designs sought by end-users for maximising interaction with lighting control systems? The manner in which this question is posed implies a fundamental assumption that improved usability and end-user experience are the primary goals. The concept of end-user understanding of lighting control interfaces is proposed as a basis for improving the usability and end-user experience of lighting control interfaces. Usability engineering methods involving survey research, experimental mock-ups and prototyping have been used to enable end-users to design and evaluate lighting control interfaces. The essential difference is to include end-users' point of view about ease of understanding control functions and pleasure of performing control tasks along with a technical point of view about meeting required standards. Manufacturers' claims about the effectiveness of existing lighting control interfaces are challenged, and an entirely different way of thinking about interface design is revealed. Such a change of thinking may be seen as a new framework for improved designs of lighting control interfaces as well as evaluation of their usability and end-user experience.</p>

Information communications networks, and especially their industrial versions (field networks), are an inseparable element of contemporary control systems. They enable pieces of modern industrial equipment to be coupled into a common system. In the case of older-generation equipment (universal one-stand CNC machine tools, manipulators, robots), their extension and integration in either dispersed or centralized control system is possible. As a result of modernization, it is possible to create a production line that will be built based on classic CNC machine tools and operated by manipulators or robots using network solutions and PC computers.

Inspired by the metal oxide system implementation service (MOSIS) project, CyberCut is an experimental fabrication testbed for an Internet-accessible, computerized prototyping and machining service. Client-designers can create mechanical components, generally using our web-based computer aided design (CAD) system (available at http://cad.berkeley.edu ), and submit appropriate files to the server at Berkeley for process planning. CyberCut then utilizes an open-architecture, computer numerical control (CNC) machine tool for fabrication. Rapid tool path planning, novel fixturing techniques and sensor-based precision machining techniques allow the designer to take delivery of a component machined from high-strength materials with good tolerances, e.g. ±0.002in (0.05 mm). There are also instances where the complex geometry of a component cannot be prototyped on our three-axis machine tool. For these components use is made of solid freeform fabrication (SFF) technologies such as fused deposition modelling (FDM) to build a prototype of the design. Based on experience with this testbed, a new characterization of types of relationship, or ‘couplings’, between design and manufacturing has been developed using the three classifications ‘loose and repetitive’, ‘stiff and one-way’ or ‘strong and bidirectional’. These three couplings represent different trade-offs between ‘design flexibility’ and ‘guaranteed manufacturability’.

Dynamic effects of machining processing could not be ignored with the increasing speed of CNC machine tools, the analysis of kinematic behavior related to the kinematics, dynamics and control system etc, and there were a lot of coupling relationship of these systems. A simulation of single discipline could not reflect the overall performance with having to the simplification of the other discipline. It proposed a collaborative simulation modeling method based HLA for CNC machine tools. The development process of HLA-based simulation mainly involved system design, high level modeling, domain modeling, transformation of domain models, federal integration. Finally, this paper described an open architecture of collaborative simulation modeling with RTI, and developed the dynamics and control system models using Matlab and Adams software respectively. It provided theoretical support to solve coupling and interaction of the multi domain models of machine tools products in the design and development.

According to the ideas of modularization and real-time multi-task scheduler, the CNC software system is carved into many modules and the framework of the CNC software is developed.

Computer Numerical Control (CNC) controller is an important part of machine, composed of hardware and software models. Software model, usually called an interpreter translates input code as per internal structure of CNC machine. Now a day’s traditional controllers of CNC machine are found to be closed in nature, because they are depended of vendor’s specifications. Due to that dependence they do not facilitate access to the inner features of machine. In order to overcome these problems open architecture controllers were introduced. In this article a new ISO 6983 translator for open architecture CNC controller is being proposed. The developed software model is able to read commercially available Computer Aided Design (CAD) /Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) system generated International Standards Organization (ISO) 6983 file and extracts position, feed rate, spindle speed, tool etc data and translates to OAC machine. At the same time it is also able to generate output in user defined text and EXtensible Markup Language (.xml) formats. Further design of paper includes development of translator, followed by case study experiment and finally ends with conclusion.
