Mach4 General Discussion / Mach4 in factory automation
« on: October 23, 2020, 04:35:14 PM »
Hello,
First, I am new to Mach4 and Mach in general.
I have a vendor supplying an XYZ gantry for doing spot welding and they are including Mach4 Industrial. I would like to automate loading of programs (recipes) and interaction with the the motion software from our PLC and SCADA system.
I would love some feedback on how to approach this. Maybe Read a Modbus register in a master G-Code program that then calls subprograms? Ideas and pointers to existing similar applications welcome.
Thank you!
