The invention relates to a numerical control system comprising a number of NC boards and a personal computer. A PLL circuit (31) of a pulse convert/output circuit (12) in an NC board A(1) receives a fundamental clock signal (CLK) through a PC extension bus (207) from a fundamental clock generating circuit (201). The PLL circuit generates a sync pulse signal (PLS) on the basis of the received fundamental clock signal (CLK). The sync pulse signal (PLS) is inputted to a gate (34). A signal select circuit (33) receives an address signal (AD), or a (RESET) signal or an (IRQ) signal through the PC extension bus (207). The circuit (33) generates a pulse-outputting permission signal (N3) on the basis of the received signal (AD, RESET or IRQ). The pulse-outputting permission signal (N3) controls a gate (34) which determines the timing of starting the outputting of the sync pulse signal (PLS). Consequently, a sync signal PLSOUT that is synchronized with those in the remaining NC boards B, C etc. (not shown) is generated. A separate pulse generator is not required. |
