General Motion Controllers |
|
Our system architecture usually includes one of the following: |
-
A
terminal configured to interface between the machine operator and the
machine. We can supply several types including
"dumb-terminals" (where all the machine operation software
is embedded into the real-time controller's memory (PROM or EEPROM).
-
A
terminal configured to interface between the machine operator and the
machine. We can supply several types including "smart
terminals" where the embedded code in contained in the terminal
(often a "touch type") and the controller is configured with
a standard operating set of code.
-
An
operator "front-end" utilizing an industrial PC as we do in
most of our CNC controller configurations but with software
specifically designed to minimize the need for extensive training of
machine operators.
