In 1970, a new term--computerized numerical control (CNC)--was introduced to the NC vocabulary. The development of a CNC system was made economically possible by electronic breakthroughs which resulted in lower costs for minicomputers. 1970年，一个新的词汇计算机数字控制（CNC）在NC词汇中出现。随着电子技术的突破性发展，小型计算机成本变的更低，从而使用CNC系统越来越经济。 The physical components of CNC or soft-wired units are the same regardless of the type of machine tool being controlled. On soft-wired units, it is not the MCU but the executive program, or load tape, which is loaded into the CNC computer’s memory by the control manufacturer. CNC的物理组成部分或软接线单元都与被控机床型号无关。在软接线单元上，被控制器制造商装入CNC计算机存储器的不是MCU，而是可执行程序或者安装的纸带，即它是象车削中心或机床加工中心一样。 It is this executive program that makes the control unit “think” like a turning center or a machining center. Therefore, if there is a need to change the functions of a soft-wired or CNC unit, the executive program can be changed to suit. Usually it is the manufacturer, and not the user, who makes the change. 使控制单元具有“思考”的功能的可执行程序。因此，如果需要，适当地更改可执行程序，就能改变软接线或CNC单元的功能，通常做更改工作的是制造商而不是用户。 There have been great developments in MCUs with the introduction of large-scale ICs and microprocessors. Many features not available a few years ago give much greater flexibility and productivity to NC systems. 具有大规模IC和微处理器的MCU已经有了很大的发展。几年以前MCU还不具备的许多特性，现在使NC系统具有了很大的生产灵活性并提高了生产率。 As developments in control units continue, new features will become available which will make the machines they control more productive. 随着控制单元的发展，新的特性将使控制机床具有更多的加工性能。 The CNC machine control unit of today has several features which were not found on the pre-1970 hard-wired control units(Fig.10-1). 今天的CNC机床控制单元较20世纪70年代初的硬接线控制单元具备了的许多新的特性。 Cathode-Ray Tube(CRT) The CRT is like a TV screen which serves a number of purposes: CRT是一个提供许多不同功能的电视屏幕。 It shows the exact position of the machine table and/or the cutting tool at every position while a part is being machined.它显示机床工作台准确的位置，或者加工
