INTRODUCTION   

CNCplusT^TM is a general purpose CNC controller for lathe machine. It is a real-time, multi-tasking, multi-thread, PC-based CNC controller. It comprises of a MEI motion control card and CNC software, dedicated for two-axis simultaneous turning, and extensible to four-axis control. CNCplusT^TM running on platform of Windows 2000 has a multi-language MMI. Targeted at CNC lathe manufacturing and retrofitting market, it is an open CNC system. Its system inputs/outputs, and even CNC commands are customizable. It can be tailored easily for particular requirements or linked with other equipment. Although, it is a sophisticated CNC controller, automations behind screen make it smart and easy to use. Its standard G & M codes and user-friendly programming functions are easily handled for both beginners and experienced CNC operators. Its graphic functions make programming work and tool-path verification efficient, even for those who are having not much knowledge on G & M codes. It is compatible with all CAD/CAM systems having FANUC O-T series postprocessors. Its twin software, CNCplusT^TM Simulator, provides an off-line programming tool to increase productivity and avoid downtime.

Opening Window CNCplusTTM has six working modes: Language Selection, Setup, Editor, View, Teach and Operation. A working mode can selected in the Opening Window.		Language Selection Mode CNCplusTTM is an multi-language CNC system. The MMI language can be selected in LANGUAGE SELECTION mode.
Setup Mode CNCplusTTM is an open CNC system. Its characteristics, initial status and performance are controlled by system parameters, machine tool parameters and machining parameters. All the parameters can be specified in SETUP mode.		Editor Mode The CNC programs can be browsed and edited in this mode. A full-screen multi-document editor provides the functions of browsing, inserting, deleting, copying, cutting, pasting and saving.
View Mode Tool location, tool path, machine status and corresponding command block can be monitored without operating the CNC machine. When tool path is displayed on the screen, different viewpoints can be selected. The view can be zoomed-in or zoom out to check part of the tool path closely. The CNC program can be run continuously or one command block at a time.		Teach Mode It is a powerful graphic programming tool. Key points of a tool path could be graphically input based on command type selected. Feed rate, spindle speed, tools and machine status could be selected with the tool path. Once the inputs are saved CNCplusTTM will automatically create a CNC program and display it in the windows.
Operation Mode All machine control functions and machining functions are built in this mode. The functions include jogging, tool change, spindle control, input/output control, homing, speed override, compiling CNC program, testing CNC program, running CNC program, etc.		Tool Box The functions in Tool Box are useful for system installation, calibration and trouble-shooting.
