Instruments and Systems: Monitoring, Control, and Diagnostics Annotation << Back Principles for creating a multifunctional numerical control system for process equipment based on a common kernel with an open modular architecture S.N. GRIGORIEV The possibility of creating a multifunctional Russian CNC system are analyzed. The development lines of “Hi-End” CNC systems are investigated. Requirements of multifunction control system are systematized and a version of building control system based on a common kernel with an open modular architecture is substantiated. The specific of developing computer robotic control systems and CNC system for milling machine in direction of MSTU “Stankin” innovative projects are illustrated. Key words: multifunctional CNC system, open modular architecture, system of controlling industrial robots. E-mail: rector@stankin.ru Page 1-11
