EdiTasc - CNC control software for real-time (Code: )

EdiTasc is a realtime CNC which runs under Windows 2000/XP and is exclusively software-controlled, with software modules substituting the circuits of conventional CNC technology. Thus, the performance of your CNC is no longer limited by external modules, but grows with the performance of your control computer. For example, the soft CNC achieves cycle times of 0.2 ms on a Pentium PC (200 MHz) without any additional hardware

The control system is based on fast, realtime control by the TRIMETA Windows device driver, which integrates three independent modules - the continuous space-time model of the 3D world, the digital controller model for conversion into the real world, and a timer with a maximum resolution of currently approx. 100 kHz.

EdiTasc is a user-friendly working and development tool for all proMa//systro control systems, and can be used universally. Thanks to continuous expansion and optimisation of the functions provided, EdiTasc has developed into a sophisticated tool for CAD/CAM applications. But the software also offers interesting solutions for automation applications thanks to functions, such as online block tracking, an unlimited number of subroutine nesting levels, tool management and zero definitions.

To control the electronic power section, EdiTasc supports various interfaces, such as analog interfaces, clock/direction, or also serial interfaces.
