Purpose and capabilities:
• The program is designed to control a milling machine• 3 linear axes + up to 2 rotary axes
• Various machine kinematics XYZ-A/B/AC/BC
• Rotational axes of the table/chuck or spindle
• RTCP mode (Rotate Tool Point Center - a mode for holding the center of the tool cutting point when the axes rotate)
• 2 parallel channels (up to 5 axes in each)
• Control of axes and inputs/outputs via the EtherCat/GRBL protocol
• Control of inputs/outputs via the MODBUS RTU protocol.
• PLC control of the machine's electrical automation with the ability to be configured by the user
• MPG remote control
• The ability to add custom "Software" control panels for various equipment
• Ability to control the "Automatic Tool Change" and other machine auxiliary devices via a programmable PLC.
• Machine geometry correction.
• OS: Windows or Linux (Android and iOS will be available later)
• Requires running the EtherCat driver on a Mini-PC running Linux (On Linux, it is possible to run the CNC and driver on the same PC).
• Vertical monitor orientation is strongly recommended.
