Approach for Manufacturer Independent Automated Machine Tool Control Software Test

Article Preview

Abstract:

The rising amount and complexity of machine tool control software forces developers andvendors to increase software quality assurance measures, especially system regression tests. Thesetests are mostly conducted manually at real machines and thus error-prone, expensive and timeconsuming.This paper discusses the state of the art in machine tool control software testing andproposes a new approach for the automated test of machine tool control software. Its outstandingfeature is a manufacturer-independent test environment that makes it possible to test control softwareon different control types with minimum overhead. The approach bases on a hardware-in-the-loopsimulation system and implies a concept for a uniform access to the multitude of communicationinterfaces of today’s controls. Furthermore, the paper shows the problems that make such a tooldifficult to define and gives a concept for implementation.
