| Abstract | Open Architecture CNC Machine development using Open CNC software is to distribute the
intelligent capability into the peripheral hardware for example intelligent digital servo drive,
intelligent sensor. According to the need to modify the capacities of controller, users agree
that simply getting process data off the machine would be a big step forward.
Developing and integrating of the OpenCNC software based on an alternative OAC
methodology for ARD-TB400 and three-axis open architecture based milling prototype
machine were investigated in this work. In addition, some experiments of the SERVO;
Profibus; Basic Stamp control 1/0 port using Visual Basic to control of ARD-TB400 by using
Open CNC software were also included and developed simultaneously.
The research has been found the developing and integrating of the OpenCNC software for the
ARD-TB400 machine in a efficient way; Some possible ways how to apply Profibus on
OpenCNC software by using PCL -722 devices, Wago Profibus devices and Siemens
Profibus devices; Application of the Netmeeting to remote between two PC and for OpenCNC
software. In spite of lack of research equipment and device, for instance, we have only the
Automata SERCOS interface card and watchdog timer card and experiment only for the
SERVO control of the ARD-TB400 machine by using OpenCNC. But the study result showed
that OpenCNC can control the motion of the axis of ARD-TB400 without any difficulty,
which is same as using the Indramat CNC controller and one more setting up for Emergency
Button throughout Watchdog timer card.
