Contec / Re: What is a Contec and why would I want one?????
« on: July 29, 2012, 10:35:44 PM »
I have a Hurco VMC machine running on Camsoft using a Galil 1842 controller card and ADlink PCI48 card and 2 GPB 24  I/O boards.
I would like to convert to Mach3 but am concerned about controlling all this I/O from the Mach3. I posted a question about the capability of the Galil and Mach3 back in 2010 but have not been able to touch this project due to a shop move and other hot projects and am trying to get back on it. I couldn't find a plug-in for the ADLINK PCI cards but thought about using the Contec PCI cards since there is a plug-in for it. Sounds like other users have done something similar using the Contec PCI cards. Does any one see a problem with this? Will the Alink cards work just as well? I also had a problem when trying to use the Contec plug-in it says that the driver is defective. I tried downloading drivers several times but with no luck. Do I even need the Plug-in when using the Galil card?

Galil / Re: Galil controller compatability (what works with the plugin)

I have a Galil 1842 and have all the default inputs already hooked up using an ICM 2900 the extended I/O is hooked up to the Opto 22 expansion racks.
I am using 24 extended inputs and 10 putputs. Can the Mach handle this much I/O ?
