Mach4 General Discussion / Mach 4 on Homag Retrofit
« on: December 19, 2022, 04:19:41 PM »
Obtained a Homag P110 CNC Router. It was salvaged and I have refurbished.
It is running well on Homag's controller...but I HATE IT! Does not use standard G-code and because it was salvaged Homag service will not support it. How much support does Mach4 have for EtherCAT devices?
At a high level, it has:
Windows PC operating over EtherCAT
PLC - Beckhoff EK1100
Servos - Rexroth / Bosch (Ethercat)
Spindle - Forgot to look...but operating on EtherCAT
