INTRODUCTION   

      CNCplusH^TM is a member of CNCplus CNC family. It is a 2-axis PC-based CNC (Computer Numerical Control) system for honing machines. CNCplusH^TM can be extended to a 4-axis CNC system (X, Z, W and C). It is a real-time, multi-tasking, multi-thread CNC system developed with the latest CNC technology, computer technology and software technology 

      Same as other CNCplus products, CNCplusH^TM running on Windows 2000 has a multi-language Man-Machine Interface (MMI). It is an open-architecture CNC system. The MMI, system inputs / outputs, and even CNC commands and functions are customizable. The CNC system can be tailored (do it yourself) for particular job requirements or linked with other equipments.

      CNCplusH^TM is function-add-on software. It changes neither functions of PC nor functions of Windows 2000. Therefore, other Windows 2000 based software can run on the PC together with CNCplusH^TM, theoretically. But, it is advised not to do so when it is machining. That may affect cutting accuracy or delay emergency stop process.

      CNCplusH^TM provides 22 I/O connections for standard package. Additional I/O is optional for more inputs and outputs.

      CNCplusH^TM has user-friendly programming functions for both beginners and experienced CNC operators. A CNC program can be written in a full-screen, multi-document editor, or created with its template input, or downloaded from a CAD/CAM system. CNCplusH^TM works with all major CAD/CAM systems. The most popular CNC language is used in CNCplusH^TM. It is compatible with FANUC CNC systems.

      Twin software, CNCplusH^TM Simulator, was developed together with CNCplusH^TM. It is an off-line programming tool designed for off-line programming, operator training and academic teaching.

Opening Window CNCplusHTM has six operation modes: Language, Setup, Editor, View, Teach and Operation.		Language Selection Mode CNCplusHTM has multi-language Man Machine Interface. The language can be selected in this mode.
Setup Mode CNCplusHTM is an open-architecture CNC system. Its characteristics, initial status and performance are controlled by parameters. The parameters can be specified in SETUP mode.		Editor Mode A full screen multi document editor provides the functions of browsing, inserting, deleting, copying, cutting, pasting and saving.
View Mode The CNC program can be run continuously or step by step. Tool path, machine status and command blocks can be monitored without operating the CNC machine. Different viewpoints and zoom ratio can be selected to check the tool path closely.		Template Mode It is a simple programming tool. You only need to fill-in the parameters in the window. CNCplusHTM will automated create a CNC program for horning.
Operation Mode All machine control functions and machining functions are built in this mode such as homing, jogging, tool change, spindle control, miscellaneous control, speed override, compiling, testing, and running a CNC program, etc.		Tool Box The functions in the Tool Box are useful for system installation, calibration and troubleshooting.
