In recent years, with the development of computer technology, communication technology and numerical control technology and the needs of manufacturing automation, DNC technology has been more and more widely used. At present, the concept of enterprise informationization represented by CIMS has received more and more attention. DNC has gradually evolved from a single program transmission to an extended DNC that integrates data management and production information monitoring functions, which has become a key part of MES integration. .
1.Specific problems before CNC machine tools are networked
1.1 The existing CNC systems of the company’s CNC workshop include FANUC 0i series, MITSUBISHI, SIEMENS-810D, SIEMENS-840D, HEIDENHAIN iTNC530 and other numerical control systems. The transmission software used by each system is not the same. Programmers and operators bring a lot of inconvenience, which greatly limits the transmission and machining of part programs.
1.2 Program transmission uses desktop computer or notebook single machine one-to-one transmission. Frequent hot plugging during the transmission process is easy to burn out the machine tool or computer interface. The program transmission is 1 to 1 communication transmission. When communicating, one person must operate the machine tool in front of the machine tool, and the other person must operate the transmission software in front of the computer terminal. The two operate alternately.
1.3 Due to the access of the transmission cable, the wires around the CNC equipment are randomly overlapped, and the site environment is messy. At the same time, the computer is stored in the workshop, the environment is harsh, the life of the computer is greatly shortened, and the mess is not conducive to the 6S management of the workshop.
1.4 The NC program has no management authority, and it is easy to make mistakes or omissions. Because the NC machine tools are in production, each piece of equipment has different work in progress at different times. As a result, the process of these advanced equipment can only be performed by workers. Engineers in the control and manufacturing technology department lack an effective process management platform.
1.5 When manually compiling part machining programs, there is no NC programming tool, and G code programs cannot be compared for simulation. Errors can only be found during cutting.
1.6 Because the company’s management department or management system cannot obtain the real-time production status of production equipment in a timely manner, it cannot make scientific production management plans and measures, which greatly affects the company’s production efficiency.
2.NC Workshop Machine Tool Networking Overall Solution
The CIMCO-DNC system uses a SQL relational database management method to manage the NC program and the collected data, so that data query is fast, the access is safe and reliable, and the management process is clear and reasonable. Because it adopts the ODBC connection method and has the SQL standard data structure and interface functions, it can be easily integrated with various database PDM and MES systems.
Because our company’s machine tool interface is two kinds of RS232 and RJ45, the CIMCO machine tool networking system of Beijing Languang Technology Co., Ltd. was selected through investigation.
2.1 Construction of Machine Tool Network for CIMCO System
The entire system is based on the existing three LANs of the Technology Department, using CIMCO system software and network core hardware serial port servers, and using standard network cables to connect to the NC workshop technology group LAN. The CIMCO machine tool networking software is installed on the server in the local area network of the CNC workshop technology group.
2.2 Composition of CIMCO machine tool networking system

(6) Provide a comprehensive real-time system and machine tool login function: the system member can check the sending status of the system at any time, and each program transmission will generate a log of success or failure.
(7) Large program segmentation function. Some old systems have limited memory space and cannot hold large programs. Through automatic segment transmission, errors and inconveniences caused by artificial truncation procedures can be eliminated.
(8) Requires support for long file names, full support for 256-bit file names, and automatic conversion of program names and file names.
(9) The intelligent file comparison function can easily mark the data differences, wrong lines, and missing lines of the two files (or different versions), and you can immediately modify them.
(10) The dynamic simulation function of the 3D tool position trajectory can visually, intuitively and efficiently check the hidden errors of the program.
