Numerical controller

A numerical controller for collecting numerical control data produced or detected upon machining under the control of the machine and peripheral equipment data taken from peripheral equipment used for machining, producing process data obtained by aggregating the numerical control data and the peripheral equipment data, and outputting the process data comprising:

• collection/output control unit configured to provide an interface for setting the collection information defining collection condition of the numerical control data and the peripheral equipment data and aggregation information defining the aggregation condition upon aggregating the and the peripheral equipment data and an interface for outputting the produced process data;
• data management unit configured to collect the numerical control data in accordance with the collection information;
• data collection unit configured to collect the peripheral equipment data from the peripheral equipment in accordance with the collection information;
• and
• data aggregation unit configured to produce the process data obtained by aggregating the numerical control data and peripheral equipment data in accordance with the aggregation information.
