Embodiment Construction

[0040] One embodiment of the system and method according to the present invention relates to an automation software and service content provider that operates a host or server system that communicates with client automation systems over a public network such as the Internet. The embodiment is described by way of an example involving at the client side: a machine tool with a control system comprising: a control kernel (such as the Numerical Control Kernel or "NCK"); an operating system, such as Microsoft Windows® The appropriate version, which performs real-time control and communicates via the NCK with the operating device hardware of the machine tool, and which receives data obtained via appropriate sensors in the machine tool; HMI ("Human Machine Interface"), runs on said operating system. In this example, communication occurs over the Internet and a subset of the Internet known as the World Wide Web or "web." Other client configurations are possible within the scope of the ...

Abstract

A host system generates and manages databases incorporating data gathered from a plurality of client automation systems, such as CNC machine tools. The data may include real-time data, and is captured from the client systems under supervision of software downloaded over a network from the host system to the client systems. The captured data is transmitted over the network to the host, which creates the databases. The databases preferably include a commercial database comprising data associated with customer owners or operators of the client automation system, as well as a technical database, comprising captured data, administrative and other data, organized by customer and client system. Captured data is preferably associated with the date of capture, providing for the creation of a historical database for given client equipment. With customer authorization, others, such as original equipment manufacturers, may access the captured data, for which they may be charged a fee.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of industrial automation, in particular to the provision of services or software associated with systems for automating machine tools. Background technique [0002] In the field of industrial automation, especially in the subfield concerning machine tools and their use, manufacturers specializing in control technology and software have provided software to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) who manufacture and market automated machine tools. The OEMs in turn provide automated equipment including these technologies and software to end users, typically equipment manufacturers who own, manage and operate the equipment they purchase from the OEM. Over the years, OEMs have developed solid relationships with these end users. [0003] OEMs generally do not limit their activities to developing and marketing commodities like machine tools, but they also provide follow-on services to equipment sold by them or perh...
