Notes:
Based on the concept of software reuse, this paper discusses the feasibility and necessity of developing CNC software IC (SIC) chips and proposes a methodology for building new CNC systems using multiple SIC chips. A SIC chip is an integrated program to execute certain functions in CNC systems. Different SIC chips can be integrated to build a new CNC system for special system requirements. In this paper, the interactive information among different SIC chips is analysed, and related specifications for information exchange are suggested. In addition, a procedure for developing a SIC chip for NC code interpretation is described and its role in building a CNC system is discussed. Lastly, an integrated development platform is presented for building an open CNC system with SIC chips.
