Abstract
The invention includes: a numerical controller for controlling a servo amplifier in accordance with a given motion command; a memory for storing as variables motion command data such as speeds and positions; a motion API which is called by an application program on a personal computer and which gives a motion command via a bus such as a PCI bus to the numerical controller; and means for indirectly specifying the address of a variable of motion command data present in the memory by way of the motion API.
Claims3
A motion data command system for a motion program comprising:
- a numerical controller for controlling a servo amplifier in accordance with a given motion command;
- a memory in the numerical controller for storing as variables motion command data such as speeds and positions;
- a motion API called by an application program on a personal computer and gives a motion command via a bus such as a PCI bus to the numerical controller;
- and
- means for indirectly specifying the address of a variable of motion command data present in the memory by way of said motion API.
A motion data command system for a motion program comprising:
- a numerical controller for controlling a servo amplifier in accordance with a given motion command;
- a memory in the numerical controller for storing as variables motion command data such as speeds and positions;
- a motion API called by an application program on a higher-order programmable controller and gives a motion command via a bus such as a PCI bus to the numerical controller;
- and
- means for indirectly specifying the address of a variable of motion command data present in the memory by way of said motion API.
A control signal definition system for a motion program comprising:
- a motion program editing tool on a personal computer;
- a numerical controller for controlling a servo amplifier in accordance with a given motion program;
- an I/O for the control signal for controlling activation/termination of the motion program;
- and
- means for defining the association of the operation of activation/termination of the motion program and I/O signals on the motion program.
