CNC Processor
From ATTWiki
Motion Admininstration
The CNC Processor is software that runs invisibly behind CNC Bender. It is responsible for interpreting the current Process List, and then turning the commands, one line at a time, into action.
TCP/IP Commands
So CNC Processor is the administrator of all the motion around the bender. It services the inputs, outputs, and servos around the bender. It does this be communicating through TCP/IP signals to each module through a device we call a Top Hat.
Offline
CNC Bender can be running without CNC Processor also running. In this state, we refer to CNC Bender as "CNC Bender Offline".
