The PUMOTIX software is designed to operate CNC machines via PLCM series controllers (PLCM-E3, PLCM-E4 and PLCM-E1b). The program is based on the client-server distribution model. The server part controls the machine directly using a controller as input means, while the client part transmits commands from the operator and displays information received from the server part. The communication between server, client and controller is held within local Ethernet network (LAN). Such organization allows to deploy a flexible system according to client requirements. Both client and server parts can be located either on the same computer, or on separate computers connected to local network.

Attention:

Failure of communication between the server and the controller leads to automatic stop of the program executed by the machine.

Major features:

  • supports PLCM-E3, PLCM-E4 and PLCM-E1b controllers;
  • 9 axes support;
  • up to 6 motors can be operated at the same time (any of the motors can be connected to any of the 9 axes);
  • four  spindle control modes: Step/Dir control (using a motor), discrete (using a relay), analog (PWM speed control) and external;
  • processing modes: G61 (exact trajectory following at the maximum possible speed), G61.1 (precise movement with a stop after each movement), G64 (rounding corners with a set acceptable error);
  • homing;
  • probing;
  • continuation from any line of G-code;
  • 3D visualization of the working surface;
  • software size limitation (soft limits).
