Chapter 1
FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS
INTRODUCTION
10 Series is a family of state-of-the-art controls capable of meeting a vast range of standard and
non standard application requirements: milling machines, grinding machines, wood-, glass- and
marble-working machines, oxygen cutters, etc. The upper segment in 10 Series can control up to
32 digital axes.
10 Series systems are the result of the most advanced technologies (32 bit microprocessor,
surface mounting, etc.). The powerful multi-task, real time, event driven, operating system is
enhanced by an open hardware and software architecture that permits MTB's to personalise the
application by incorporating custom-specific packages. Access to the sophisticated NC functions is
provided by an easy-to-use user interface that can be tailored to the MTB requirements.
Processes
The word "process" usually refers to the management of a machine tool: control of the machine
axes, execution of machining programs, activation and control of the machine logic, etc. More in
general, the notion of process may include any auxiliary task supporting the operation of the main
machine: tool change, part loading/unloading, statistic calculations, report production, etc.
Multiprocess capabilities are among the major assets of 10 Series CNC, which can manage up to
twenty processes. When synchronised, processes can be managed faster and more flexibly than
with separate control systems.

HARDWARE STRUCTURE
The hardware structure of 10 Series systems is made up of different modules that can be
combined to satisfy the application requeriments.
Two of these modules are present in every configuration:
• the operator panel
• the central unit
Central Unit
The central unit may be of the monoboard type, i.e all in one board, or consist of a rack that
accomodates all of the electronic boards:
− the system CPU
− the axes control board(s)
− the I/O board(s)
− the PLC card
In addition, the system may include a series of optional modules picked up from the following list:
• one or more Pilot Panel operator consoles connected to the Central Unit
• a teach pendant connected to the central unit via the serial line
• up to two electronic handwheels connected to the encoder inputs available on the axes board
• local and remote I/O modules:
− high density I/O (HD I/O)
− medium density I/O (OSARING)
− digital I/O
− analog I/O
− digital and analog I/O's for INTERBUS
All the I/O modules and the operator consoles are connected to the central unit over an optical fiber
ring that protects the system against the electrical noise produced by the machine tool.
The I/O ring may include up to 1000 I/O points.
For more information about the system modules and how to connect them, please refer to the 10
Series Product Specifications and to the 10 Series Family Installation Guide.
From release sw 5.1.2, the INTERBUS connecting system may be used. Up to 2048 inputs and
2048 outputs may be managed on this system.

Operator Panel
The Operator Panel or front panel is the interface between the system and the operator.
There are 3 models of operator panel:
− BLink
− OPLink
− WinLink
In all versions, the Operator Panel comprises a screen with a liquid crystal display, a USA-ASCII
standard keyboard separate from the monitor to increase the ergonomics of the system and 7
softkeys. It uses the latest Man-Machine interface techniques in a simple, friendly manner and its
main functions are:
• key in operating commands by means of the softkeys;
• enter the start, stop and reset commands;
• enter data, in terms of commands, through the keyboard;
• enter data and software (part programs, software options, etc.), using diskettes;
• display system data and operating conditions;
• control the NC environment or integrated PC environment (on the WinLink model using the
yellow key).

• WinLink Operator Panel
The WinLink front panel, shown in the diagram below, consists of a 10.4" o 12.1” TFT monitor,
alphanumeric keyboard, built-in mouse and built-in PC board (with its own HDU and 3.5" floppy
disk drive).
It has no RESET, START or STOP key.
It has a button ("yellow key") which is used for switching the monitor and keyboard from the NC
environment to the PC environment, and vice versa.
This front panel enables the monitor and keyboard to be shared by the NC and PC environments,
which remain completely separate.
On the built-in PC, you can use Windows applications that communicate with the NC using the Mini
DNC Ethernet option supplied with the dynamic library (DLL) developed for Windows.
