The invention provides a flexible tool 
control system based on 
Ether CAT and CAN buses. The flexible tool 
control system comprises an industrial computer, a control cabinet and substation modules on a 
transverse beam, wherein the industrial computer servers as a core 
processing unit, the control cabinet and the substation modules are respectively and internally provided with a coupler module, an input module and an output module, the industrial computer is in communication with the coupler module in the control cabinet through the 
Ether CAT 
bus, the coupler module in the control cabinet is in communication with the coupler module in the substation modules through the 
Ether CAT buses, and the coupler modules in the substation modules are in communication through the Ether CAT 
bus. The CAN buses in the substation modules are in communication with 
servo motors controlled by the substation modules through the CAN buses, the Ether CAT buses and the CAN buses are combined through the 
system to be used for 
data transmission, and flexible shape adjustment 
motion control over the 
system is achieved. The flexible tool 
control system is high in integration level, and has the advantages of being reliable, stable, high in 
transmission performance, maneuverable, reasonable in design and the like.
