Re: [Emc-users] User Interface Addition

Todd,

Oops, flawed memory. The application is called schedrmt, emcsched is the main 
module. The description for how it is supposed to work is in the comments of 
schedrmt.cc.

Eric

Re: [Emc-users] User Interface Addition

[Eric H. Johnson]

Todd,

I wrote something along those lines years ago, and still exists in the source 
code. It is called emcsched. I wrote it for a jewelry application that did lots 
of small parts. It basically lets you put a job in queue, pick a starting 
point, feed rate, etc. and runs the jobs in the order in the queue. The jewelry 
job ultimately fell through, so the feature went dormant / abandoned.

It is in the same family of applications as linuxcncrsh and halrmt, which use a 
telnet type text interface to issue commands. No user interface currently 
supports it, other than a custom interface I wrote, which has long since been 
abandoned.

Regards,
Eric

Having it controlled by a central server is probably a good idea.  But I think 
the user interface at the machine would be best served by a tab or VCP panel.

I think scheduling might be a useful feature but it is best done as a
separate application.The schedule app could run CNC jobs on remote
computers.   It would be able to do shop-wide scheduling on any number of
CNC machines. Also, I think you'd want the scheduler to run on a
computer that is not driving a CNC machine.You want the scheduler's
user interface to be available at multiple screens and even a cell phone so
a web-based interface would be best.

The first thing I would try would be:
http://linuxcnc.org/docs/2.8/html/man/man1/linuxcncrsh.1.html

Which allows each machine on the network to specify its own interface
name, which seems like it would help with a single master server
controlling multiple instances.

Re: [Emc-users] User Interface Addition

[dave engvall]

I've been asking about this for years and have been met with resounding 
silence. I rather like the idea of doing it remotely. Not that most 
cpu's can't handle it but tends to get one thinking shopwise rather then 
just a single machine.


Thanks for poking the bear. ;-)

I have no idea what hooks are there or need to be added to make this happen.

[Emc-users] User Interface Addition

[Todd Zuercher]

How hard might it be to add a Job Queue to one of the user interfaces?

At our factory it is common for a supervisor to create a list of jobs that are 
to be ran on a machine for the next shift(s).  I think it would be nice if this 
could be handled as part of Linuxcnc.  The supervisor could build the job list 
including:  file name and path, type of material to be used, and number of 
parts needed (or file runs) then send that directly to the Linuxcnc PC at the 
machine over the network.  Then Linuxcnc could use this list to open the 
correct file for the machine operator, tell the operator what material is to be 
used, keep track of the number of parts (or runs) completed, and move on to the 
next item in the queue and load it's milling file when ready, and on down the 
list.
