Method for the start-up of numerical controls of machine tools or production machinery and numerical control for machine tools or production machinery
First Claim
1. A method for the start-up of a numerical control of machine tools or production machinery, wherein said numerical control comprises a main computer and a follow-up device, which are connected with each other via a data transmission network, wherein said follow-up device is addressable by said main computer via a logical address and a hardware address, with information regarding a physical address of said follow-up device in said data transmission network, is allocated to said logical address, the method comprising:
- sequentially requesting, in a set-up mode of operation of said main computer, allocating information regarding a logical address and a hardware address from an operator for said follow-up device and other follow-up devices to whose logical address no hardware address had been allocated; and
storing said logical address and said hardware address in a memory unit after said allocating information has been performed.

Abstract
A method for the start-up of a numerical control of machine tools or production machinery, wherein the numerical control includes a main computer and a follow-up device, which are connected with each other via a data transmission network, wherein the follow-up device is addressable by the main computer via a logical address and a hardware address, with information regarding a physical address of the follow-up device in the data transmission network, is allocated to the logical address. The method includes sequentially requesting in a set-up mode of operation of the main computer allocating information regarding a logical address and a hardware address from an operator for the follow-up device and other follow-up devices to whose logical address no hardware address had been allocated. The method further including storing the logical address and the hardware address in a memory unit after the allocating information has been performed.

11. A numerical control for machine tools or production machinery, comprising:
-
a main computer;
a follow-up device connected with said main computer via a data transmission network, wherein said follow-up device is addressable by said main computer via a logical address and a hardware address with information regarding a physical address of said follow-up device in said data transmission network is allocated to said logical address, wherein said main computer and said follow-up device are designed for carrying out a method for the start-up of a numerical control of machine tools or production machinery, the method comprising;
sequentially requesting, in a set-up mode of operation of said main computer, allocating information regarding a logical address and a hardware address from an operator for said follow-up device and other follow-up devices to whose logical address no hardware address had been allocated; and
storing said logical address and said hardware address in a memory unit after said allocating information has been performed. - View Dependent Claims (12)
