Abstract :
The authors have been involved in the study and design of alternative architectures for computer numerical controller, CNC, machines. The CNC machines are intended to be finally integrated into a school project which aims at developing a complete flexible manufacturing system. They present the overall architecture of the machine. This is necessary to understand the distinction between the real time aspects of the manufacturing application, which uses a real time network. They concentrate on aspects related to the integration of the real time network in this manufacturing environment
