Numerical control solutions

NCONEX

NCONEX is the latest generation numerical control of the CNi group. It summarizes 50 years of history and experience in the field of automation of complex systems such as work centers and plants. The innovation of industry 4.0 has found its expression in the functionality of this CNC, ensuring connectivity and interchangeability of information between CN-PLC and the outside world.

Features

The NcOneX system is a control consisting of a core developed on PC hardware with a LINUX operating system equipped with real-time extension.

The main parts are made up of the motion control (MC), the CNC core (ISO interpreter, interface command manager and MC PLC synchronizer), the PLC executor and the proprietary EtherCAT master that manages the connection to the field buses via an Ethernet card.

The HMI operator interface written with anthropocentric rules, for Windows (7 – 10 ..) and Linux, can reside either on the CNC or on a separate PC.

CNC Performance & Functionality

Management of analog, digital EtherCAT, Mechatrolink 1-2 and CAN axes
Management of up to 100 axes
Real Time Multitasking processing
Grouping of axes in centers up to 16 concurrent processes (centers) and 30 axes per center
Programmable axis control update time starting from 250 micro seconds
Average instruction block interpretation time less than 200 micro sec

HMI

The human machine interface (HMI) environment can run on any version of Windows or Linux, written in C# and HTML language with modular architecture to allow the customer to quickly integrate customized extensions to the basic configuration supplied with the CN.

PLC

The machine logic development environment (PLC DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM) is integrated via a workbench (IEC-61131-3).
The PLC software integrated into the NC allows:

User definable cycle period from 1 msec
Management of up to 4096 I/O
Shared memory between PLC and CNC
Multi-center asynchronous movement of the axes
Library of functional blocks for NC interface for axis movement, etc.
