# Industrial Specification: CNC Control Unit

## 1. Technical Definition
The electronic control system that interprets G-code instructions and coordinates the precise movements of a CNC machine's axes and spindle.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **24V DC ±5% (22.8-25.2V), 0-55°C ambient temperature, 5-95% relative humidity non-condensing**. Failure boundary: **Voltage drop below 20.4V DC causes processor brownout, temperature exceeding 70°C triggers thermal shutdown, humidity above 95% RH initiates condensation-induced short circuit**, Mechanism: **Semiconductor junction breakdown at 150°C (Si max operating temperature), electrolytic capacitor electrolyte evaporation at 105°C, PCB delamination at 85°C glass transition temperature (FR-4 material)**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Joule Heating & Thermal Resistance**:

> **Primary Equation**: $P = I^2 R = \frac{V^2}{R}$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Governs heating element sizing for shrink tunnels/sealers.
