Example CAN-CNC-Control

With consequent use of the CiA's (CAN in automation) CANopen standards, isel Germany delivers a high quality PC-based CAN-CNC controller
for intelligent positioning/drive units and I/O modules.

The CAN-CNC controller supports interpolation operation (linear, circular and helical) of up to six positioning drives per machine and up to 127 handling axes and CAN modules. The high time demands of a CNC controller are guaranteed by a WDM driver  developed by isel. An additional real time operating system for  Windows will be unnecessary. This guarantees  compatibility with future Windows versions The CAN controller is a pure software solution for PCs with Windows 2000/XP/VISTA/Win7 (32/64 bit). The CANopen PCI boards iCC 10/20 also act as an interface.

Owing to the features provided, the CAN-CNC controller is equally suited for all machining tasks, such as milling, engraving, drilling, turning, water jet and laser cutting, as well as for applications in automation systems. For this purpose, ProNC provides a universal programming environment.

Features
