Abstract
A numerical control apparatus having an improved range of control functions and in which the management and use of the control program can be more easily performed. In accordance with the invention, a common data register group is provided so that reading and writing of data therefrom and thereinto can be performed by the work program side as well as by a programmable controller side.
Claims9
A numerical control apparatus comprising:
- a reading circuit for reading a work program from a tape on which said work program is stored in an NC language;
- a command decoding circuit including a command decoder for decoding work commands in the work program read out by said reading circuit and a variable command processor for processing a variable command in the work command decoded by said command decoder;
- a control circuit for outputting a control signal for controlling a machine tool in accordance with the work command decoded by said command decoding portion;
- a shaft displacement amount output circuit for outputting a command signal instructing the amount of shaft displacement of said machine tool in response to said control signal from said control circuit;
- a programmable controller for performing control other than shaft drive of said machine tool in response to said control signal from said control circuit;
- and
- a common data register group for commonly storing data corresponding to variables processed by said variable command processing portion and data written into and read out from said common data register group.
