Research on Reuse-Oriented Intellectual Development Method for CNC Human-Machine Interface

To improve the productivity of HMI development, this paper proposes an intelligent development method for human-machine interface of CNC according to software reuse theory, of which the core technology consists of configurable intelligent development framework for HMI and functional component library. For the development framework, it includes customized interface editing environment, middle-layer model and automatic code generation engine. As to the design of functional component library, component object model (COM) is used to create various components which can be classified into graphic primitive components, CNC system function components, interpreter components and so on. By use of the component interface, development framework communicates with the above mentioned component and is responsible for the assembly and integration of components through which the complex HMI system is automatically generated. Based on the intelligent method, developers can realize the automatic development of human-machine interface, which will ensure product quality and improve the development efficiency.
