Question:

What is the function of PLC programmable controller in NC machine tools?

It is better to sum up yourself, including its position in the entire machine tool, and the relationship with other CNC device drive devices, in detail! Thank you, Shifu

Answer:

The PLC controller can be programmed for its internal storage procedures in CNC machine tools, the implementation of logical, sequential control, timing, counting and arithmetic operations such as user oriented instructions, and through digital or analog input / output control various types of machinery or production processes.Added: MITSUBISHI PLC English name, also known as: Mitsubish, Programmable, Logic, Controller, MITSUBISHI motor production in Dalian is the main product. It uses a programmable memory, used in its internal storage procedures to perform the logic operation, sequence control, timing, counting and arithmetic operations such as user oriented instructions, and through digital or analog input / output control various types of machinery or production processes. MITSUBISHI PLC is commonly used in Chinese market with the following models: FR-FX1N, FR-FX1S, FR-FX2N, FR-FX3U, FR-Q, FR-FX2NC, FR-A, etc..
Electrical control of machine tools other than servo motor motion control
PLC plays an important role in numerical control machine tools. It is the intermediate process of connecting CNC and servo and executing mechanism. It is I/O processor, which handles signal transmission and control! In FANUC, it is PMC, and its function is the same as that of PLC, but its structure is a single chip microcomputer. SIEMENS uses PLC-300
Machine tools are generally not used PLC, the role is too small! Control with industrial computer (work computer).General device for controlling relay power with these devices can be a control device, a data storage function is generally not control, such as servo motors, some small machine tools using SCM etc.
