More details:
MMC - Modern Machine Control
Everything is STM32.
Real time Ethernet with bridges to factory floor protocols.
Distributed intelligence
Easy to debug
"All things to everyone", ATE GUI's.
Support for any buses the OS supports, bus agnostic, ungendered,
polytheistic, all-buses-to-everyone, no bus left behind, etc etc
Arrives early vs just in time design
No old hardware! You have been warned!
All code over 6 months of age is automatically tossed.
No developers are allowed to complain, only manage.
CAM and CAD included for one stop shopping.
No Clippy, but popups for what I think you want to do macros.
Automagic updates while you sleep, on or off the machine.
Wizards, witches, etc whatever it takes to make you happy.
Post G-code ready.
Main components (MC):
Operator panel based on industry-compatible PC technology for the
man-machine interface
CNC control unit
Programmable controller
Drive modules for machine tool axes and spindles
Motors (AC motors and linear drives)
Supply and energy recovery unit (S/E unit)
Digital Drive Control (DDC):
High resolution digital speed and path monitoring
Higher order control algorithms, in particular compensation of the lag
induced contour error through speed and torque feed forward control
(important in the case of high tool path feedrates and the resulting error)
Wide range of analysis options, e.g. measurement of frequency response
Automatic circular test with automatic optimisation of the reversing
error that occurs at axis reversal points (quadrant error) using neural
networks
Connection of direct drives, e.g. linear motors
Machine safety functions implemented across two channels using CNC and
drive processors
Look ahead feedrate control over more than 100 blocks
Transformations, e.g. for clamping corrections or 5-axis transformation
Elimination of contour error in the axes to provide greater path accuracy
Torque damping along the feed path and in an axial direction to reduce
machine wear
Tool correction (length, radius, various types of cutter)
Automatic path smoothing functions for smooth surfaces
Compensation for mechanically induced errors
Safe operation of the machine in the work area
Compensation for temperature induced errors caused by high spindle
speeds and axis feedrates through heating of the spindle and feed axes
Compensation for friction errors at axis reversal points (quadrant errors)
Compensation for leadscrew errors and errors in measuring system
Compensation for angular and sag errors in machine tool through
interpolative compensation (volumetric compensation or cross error
compensation)
Compensation for play in axes that are not measured directly
