CNC Control Specifications
CNC control unit (former the Z32) is an independent PC-based Numerical Control (placed in the electrical cabinet together
with machine peripherals). It runs the software module "SIS.Z32". This module contains the real-time operating system of
Z32; it elaborates the part-program, controls the machine movements and executes the PLC.
• 6 Interpolating processes, max 31 axes (6 are spindles)
• 5-Axes interpolation (for each process)
• Up to 1024 I/O
• Optical fiber field bus Z-Link and Z-Ser
• Ethernet TCP/IP
• Reading speed of up to 11.000 Blocks/sec
• Look-ahead of more than 190 blocks
• Dynamic and geometric JERK Control
• Gantry axes
• RTCP (Rotating Tool Centre Point) for heads and tables
• Special High-speed machining algorythms G113X and G113X KA1
As standard feature the Z32 CNC system comes with an Ethernet interface (therefore Internet on the long distance) as the
communication system between the machine controller, the Operator Console, the part-program management center and
the remote service center.
The data exchange protocol allows, with the greatest easiness, the realization of integrated programming and service
networks.
The Z32 supports advanced Gantry algorithm allowing continuously monitoring of the gantry currents and positions.
Furthermore it enables all axes dynamic and geometric JERK Control and High-speed machining algorithms G113X and
G113X KA1.
Drivers
Hardware parts are greatly standardized. Digital motor drivers are used for the X,Y and W axes combined with full
resolution linear scales. The digital control processes up to 256 sub divisions for the single scale pitch, ensuring high
position precision.
I/O lines
Communication between hardware modules is through optical fiber, to radically eliminate any problem of electrical
noise. Operation is sure and reliable also in extremely hostile and noisy environments up to 1024 I/O.
