  • Numerical controller having scalable performance
    Patent number: 11782415
    Abstract: A system program monitors a numerical controller executing a useful program controlling a machine. The numerical controller determines target values for position-controlled axes and controls the position-controlled axes in accordance with the target values. The numerical controller stores resources and determines whether, and optionally to which extent, the resources are enabled or disabled. Enabling or disabling the resources specifies how many processor cores are enabled for use, or how many processor threads are enabled for use, or to what extent a processor cache or a processor main memory are enabled for use, or which hardware components of the numerical controller are enabled for use, or to what extent use of external computing power is permitted. The numerical controller determines the target values for the position-controlled axes using only the enabled resources.
