A numerical control system with shortened communication paths to lower a cost of the system. A plurality of servo amplifiers for respectively controlling a plurality of servomotors are arranged separately from a numerical controller. Pulse encoders for detecting positions/velocities of the servomotors are connected to the numerical controller by optical cables forming a serial communication path in a daisy chain, via a branch unit. The servo amplifiers for driving the servomotors are connected to the numerical controller by optical cables in a daisy chain, via the branch unit. Since the communication path for transmitting signals from the pulse encoders connects the pulse encoders and the numerical controller without the servo amplifiers intervened in between, the communication path is not elongated even in a case of the servo amplifiers are located remote from the servomotors, to construct the system with a low cost.
