Abstract:
A data processing and transmission system ( 1 ) for a numerical control unit ( 2 ) adapted to control a machine tool ( 3 ), comprises at least one input channel ( 4 ) adapted to a transit of operational signals from or to devices present in the machine tool, electronic circuits configured to process the operational signals to make available on an output interface ( 5 ) control signals for the numerical control unit, a multipolar cable ( 8 ) having a first and a second end, each provided with a multipolar connector ( 9 ), a master unit having the output interface, a main processor, a memory and at least one socket ( 7 A) configured to be coupled to one of the multipolar connectors, one or more slave units ( 6 ), each provided with at least one external port ( 6 A) defining the input channel, a memory, a secondary processor, and provided also with a first socket ( 6 B) and a second socket ( 6 C), configured to be coupled at least to a first or a second connector of the multipolar connectors in order to interconnect the slave unit at least with the master unit. The master unit has a clock and each slave unit has its own clock. The main processor divides a data transmission time interval into a plurality of time slots an uniquely assigns to each slave unit a corresponding time slot of said plurality of time slots. The secondary processor of each slave unit is set to transmit data through the multipolar cable only within the respective time slot. Each slave unit can be connected to another slave unit to define a modular structure.

Claim (Index 27):
The system according to  claim 20 , having a plurality of slave units, wherein the master unit has a clock and each slave unit has a clock, and wherein the main processor is programmed to divide a data transmission time interval into a plurality of time slots and to uniquely assign to each slave unit a corresponding time slot of said plurality of time slots, and wherein, for each slave unit, the secondary processor can be set to transmit data through the multipolar cable only within the respective time slot, and wherein at least one of the slave units is programmed to transmit to the master unit, in the same time slot, both data relating to the operational signals and data relating to said internal temperature.
