Abstract
Abstract A concept has been developed which enables the virtualization and consolidation of NC controllers for machine tools. By decoupling control hardware and software, dynamic scaling of computing power depending on the complexity of the control functions becomes possible. The use of monolithic and over-dimensioned control systems, which are most often not fully exploited but no longer sufficient when new requirements arise, is avoided. Additionally, economic advantages might be exploited by consolidating multiple controllers in an edge cloud. Initial experiments have shown that purely software-based solutions on standard IT hardware are suitable for reliably achieving the required cycle times.
期刊介绍：
Automatisierungstechnik (AUTO) publishes articles covering the entire range of automation technology: development and application of methods, the operating principles, characteristics, and applications of tools and the interrelationships between automation technology and societal developments. The journal includes a tutorial series on "Theory for Users," and a forum for the exchange of viewpoints concerning past, present, and future developments. Automatisierungstechnik is the official organ of GMA (The VDI/VDE Society for Measurement and Automatic Control) and NAMUR (The Process-Industry Interest Group for Automation Technology).
