Abstract
Open architecture technology is ushering in new advances in the world of computer numerically controlled (CNC) machines. Yet, some major benefits of open architecture technology have failed to materialize due to the lack of a standard open architecture specification. We propose an open architecture framework to fill the specification void. The proposed framework supports component-based technology by specifying a control class hierarchy, plug-and-play components and a design framework. This framework can be used to build applications ranging from a single-axis device to a multi-arm robot. Some example application designs applying the framework are documented.Citation
