| Abstract | Most CNC, motion and discrete control application in the manufacturing industry incorporate proprietary control technologies. There are difficulties associated with using proprietary teclmologies such as vendor-dictated pricing structures, non-conm1on interfaces, higher integration costs and the requirement of specific training for trouble shooting and operation. A controller with an open architecture will provide benefits such as reduced initial cost, simplified integration efforts, easier enhancements to the machine operation, and better integration of the user proprietary knowledge. The main objective of this study was to implement an open architecture control to a 3-axis milling machine. The primary application of the machine is to provide a training as well as research bed for further enhancements to the open controller. |
