Abstract
In recent years, open source software applications based on the operating system Linux have replaced previous proprietary software in many fields. However, up to now, the open-source software community did not come up with an appropriate CNC solution. Particularly, the requirement for real-time communication between system components has been a major challenge. The paper at hand presents a new approach for the integration of real-time Ethernet into LinuxCNC developed at the Institut fur Maschinen- und Anlagenbau in Emden. For the first time, a CNC system entirely based on open-souce software has been realized that can compete with proprietary-embedded CNC.
