Just curious ...
Could the Input/output signals been setup with a Custom Signal Event Handler?
...It would dispense with the need for polling input signals.
-
sounds just as good as an 'Event_Macro_Hold"....whatcha talkin about willis?
-
Just Google "How to create an event handler in Lua"
-
so... who is the client and who is the server ...or... should I say....who is the
publisher....to the 'event handler'...to which, whom has subscribed to?
sorry, may be speaking greek....it's all TCP, lol.
-
fudge! I just realized I'm a nerd!!!!! NERDZ!!!! >:D computerized NERD control
lmao haha...ok, I'll quit now.
maybe.
-
Mach 4 would host the server since it is the core. Clients would sign up to receive/trigger events.
-
Modbus?
I was looking at the same typology kinda (publisher -> server -> subscriber) but having a signal from the mill be the publisher to a "channel" on a MQTT server and m4 being the subscriber (using a PLC script to ping the channel). That way I can control m4 from anywhere there is a Internet connection if I am away from the area. Well, theoretically anyway.
I know, your thinking, why go through an external server for signal processing when I can just send the signal straight to m4.....just trying to look a things from all directions. That's all. I'm really interested in learning more about TCP/IP config & comms with m4. I get where you are coming from. That's neat!

and will mr google be putting the stock on the machine.....
-
lmao! ha! point taken. ok, maybe not the best of projects to take on. shoot, that was funny ;D
-
it is a good idea if you use a tablet that gets updated info from the machine and you can kill it from a tablet and use it as a pendint. for when you go of to make a coffee, or other rest stop so when you get back to the machine you will know there is going to be no Decepticons waiting for you or a F machine
-
better answer would of been...."stock placement is automated". f those decepticons dan! ;D
-
well you could added a robot and pallet loader
-
You two are entertaining ;D
