MACHINE CONTROLLER

摘要

A machine controller intercommunicates with, and issues machining program commands to, a plurality of peripherals. The controller receives work status information on the peripherals, calculates the total power consumption by the plurality of peripherals based on the received information, and decides the work start timing for the peripherals such that the total does not reach a preset upper limit.

主权项

1. A machine controller intercommunicating with and issuing machining program commands to a plurality of peripherals, the machine controller comprising:
a work status receiving section that receives work status information on the peripherals; and a work start timing determination section that determines work start timing for the peripherals, wherein the work start timing determination section calculates total power consumption by the plurality of peripherals based on work status information on the peripherals received by the work status receiving section, and determines work start timing for the peripherals such that the total does not reach a preset upper limit.
