System Analysis

You must produce a report on two systems used by the company, a CAD system that runs on a PC and a system used within a CNC controller. The company currently have two systems, Siemens and Fanuc and you can choose to report on either. For each system your report must include the following:

an analysis of the hardware internal and external components associated with the application and their role in the application with a justification of their use,

an analysis of the operating, utility and application software used in each case including a justification for their use,

an analysis of the security threats and the systems and protection employed to guard against security threats in each case and a justification for the use of the systems employed,

an overall evaluation comparing the suitability of the technology and protection measures used in each and an indication of any improvements that would enhance the systems.

The report should be well written in clear, technical language throughout.

for write answer you must read and included the following:

For Distinction standard, learners will give a detailed and comprehensive evaluation of the two contrasting systems and will demonstrate how the systems work and why the hardware components and software are suitable for the application. For example, an office computer would include a keyboard, mouse and monitor to input and output data, whereas a CNC machine includes a touch screen input$/$output device. The office computer contains sufficient RAM $($typically gigabytes $($Gb$)$ or terabytes $($Tb$)),$ to run several applications concurrently, whereas the CNC machine runs a restricted set of instructions that requires less memory $($around $1$ megabyte$).$ The office computer needs to load an operating system on start$-$up$,$ such as Microsoft Windows$,$ before running applications, while the CNC machine has an embedded control system, such as Siemens or Fanuc. Other factors will be considered, such as the processor operating speed, instruction set, hard disk size, and external storage.
