This paper describes the design and implementation of PCOAMC(PC-based Open Architecture Machine Controller) to be flexible and independent from the vendor-oriented hardware and software structure. This openness approach is able to enhance an intelligence and integration of a manufacturing system. The development methodology of PcOAMC is an Object-Oriented approach, and all modules in PcOAMC are modelled using UML(Unified Modelling Language) that provides an easy understanding and modification. In order to demonstrate an applicability of PcOAMC, a simple test has been executed by using the Client-Server system consisting of two PcOAMCS and bus monitoring system. The good results have been obtained, so that the developed controller is expected to be embedded into IMS(Intelligent Manufacturing System) as a basic unit.
