The Application Research on the Data Protection of the Typical CNC Machine
The system configuration of CNC machine has nearly a thousand parameters to be set. These parameters are set correctly or not directly affect the use of CNC machine tools and their performance. It has been proved that the parameter setting about the CNC machine can bring much convenience to deal with troubleshooting and maintenance of CNC machine, reduce troubleshooting time and improve machine utilization. But for some parameters such as pitch compensation, position of reference points, these parameters settings are not in the same way in different machine. If parts of these parameters or all of these are lost, its unable to restore the precision of the CNC machine. It will bring great losses to the manufacturing enterprise. So the data of protection is particularly critical. This paper describes the function and principle about the machine data protection, and presents the method and step of data backup and recovery for the CNC machine with the typical CNC system, such as FANUC, Siemens and Huazhong CNC system.
