CNC Machine Tool Network Based on Serial Device Server

This paper describes the configuration of traditional CNC system, provides a new mode of networking for CNC machine tools based on serial device server. It enables the combination between the traditional CNC machine tools with serial interface support and the high speed unlimited industrial Ethernet. It enables the uniformity of the information network for every department such as the workshops in the enterprise and the communication network for the CNC system. With this configuration, resources can be shared and the network manufacturing are able to be applied.
