There will surely be some semester projects but there are also people like me
and the guys in our work package that do this as scientific assistants and not
as students. And there are some people (like those from Fidia, Artis and
Siemens that work with us) that don't work in a "School" environment.
Regarding your question to SERCOS: I have no idea... But my colleagues from
nantes already built a setup with an emc2 controller and a real machine. I will
forward your question to them and see what they mean.

Betreff: Re: [Emc-developers] I am new here
Fabian,
Am I right in saying then that this is going to be done in quite a few
undergraduate semester projects and a few post graduate studies?
By the way I am overwelmed by the size of the total effort, probably because I
lived too long in the 3rd world.
The question about testing contained some enlightened self interest.:
For a real CNC today you will use SERCOSIII or equivalent drives. So I was
wondering what your plans are about the hardware, since
EMC2 / LCNC has a bit of a deficiency at the moment in that field. I would like
to know wether you will build a real hardware setup
and then how you are going to handle this deficiency. I think support could be
drummed up in the community to do some work on that
but we do not have uncles that present us with motors and drives. I think
basically that is where the support will stop, so we would have to look to you
for that.
And the last question: Would your total effort be donated back into the
community or will there be sections that will stay proprietary.
This is now on the machine controller side. I understand that STEP generation
will slowly percolate back into the CAD market.
cheers,
j.

Dear all, who were interested in the discussion about FoFdation and EMC2
I am very surprised that you are so much interested in our work. I didn't
expect as much response and I wasn't at the office yesterday to enter the
discussion.
To answer Jan's questions
- How much time we people have and how we test our effort
The FoFdation project has about 40 partners involved (among them are
Agie-Charmilles, Airbus, Fidia, Siemens and some smaller companies) and
consists of 9 Work Packages. My work is in Work Package 4 were we try to find
ways to optimize machining in the scope of the controller and the machine.
Other work packages are at different levels (i.e. Plant-Scope Manufacturing
Planning). For this task I work together with CADCamation SA (Work Package
Leader) and the university of Nantes () which supports us with manufacturing
know how and different kinds of machines. Fidia provides us with controller
knowledge and Artis will help to monitor the manufacturing process. We support
them with knowledge about developing CAD Systems and Computer Science. As far
as I know our work package takes about 3 years.
Comment about STEP, Tools and Projects:
STEP is not perfect but it's what our partners use. Because there are so many
partners involved there are (from my opinion too) many different requirements
and you are right that the work is not as productive as it would be if a
smaller group would do it. The point we are told from our project leaders is
that the companies involved should put something into the project but also
profit by including the development in their own things.

I am looking forward to a great collaboration with you all and thank you very
much for all the replies.
Kind regards
