ABSTRACT: of tool

This paper presentation aims

at introducing a system which
is capable of storing and
retrieving the program which
is in current execution when
power goes off and came. This
is of very efficient one since
nowadays frequent power
shut-off are common in
Industries. This pays way for
fully automated systems in
today’s scenario.

INTRODUCTION:

The necessity for this system

not only covers the need for
reduced downtime but also
includes higher production
rate and operator
convenience and also the
demand for fully automated
machine tools. It is very
common in Industries that
when power goes off while
machining in CNC machine

the main memory card.

WORKING:

This system consists of a multi

card data transfer device , an
UPS , an main and secondary
memory card. Multi-card data
transfer device comprises 2
multi card interface,2 slots for
electrically connecting cards,
a key module, power supply
for data transfer.

UPS (Uninterrupted Power

Supply) starts working once
the power failure/cut occurs in
machine tool. The UPS unit is
connected with multi-card
data transfer device and servo
systems in the machine tool.
The feedback (for position and
velocity) from the encoder or
any other feedback devices is
fed to microprocessor in the
data transfer device. The last
signal is used to determine
the block at which the power
failure occurs. Then the block
that is previous to this block is
taken as reference (since it is
executed completely) and the
 processor in the circuit after it
has performed the action.
Another important part is to
set the tool at the position
indicated by the reference
block. For doing this , the
servo system is connected to
the processor which sends
signal to reverse the action to
achieve required position from
the current position. The
remaining program
(Unexecuted part) is stored in
the secondary memory card in
the default filename.

Once the power comes off in

the main circuit, operator has
to call the program in the
secondary memory card to
continue the operation.

Moreover this system also

employs a timer relay circuit.
When the power shut-off and
retrieval time is very short or
not enough for the
microprocessor and servo
system to perform required
task, the timer relay circuit
prevents such a situation by
opening the main circuit for
the time required by system
to process the action. The
signal to the relay is sent by
