I can't seem to get the Modbus TCP configuration window to come up... Can't seem to find any info info in the forum about this issue. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello all... I am an industrial maintenance technician/electrician/programmer of 30 years or so, and lately have come into the cnc/motion-control realm. I have used Turbocnc and  EMC2 on my hobby cnc-router at home. I needed to find something windozey for a project at work and happened upon Mach 3... I like what I see and am using it for my current project!

Thanks...  I hooked it up like the diagram and jogged from Mach 3 and made the motor turn. Actually, I have quite a bit of experience with sureservos (driven by AD PLCs). My current project is a box-packing machine that needs to make multi-axis moves rather quickly, which is really beyond the ability of an H2ctrio card/PLC combo. I am a cnc-router hobbyist also and use EMC2 on my machine at home.This box-packing machine's PC needs to run some windows software, so after some search I decided to use Mach 3. I really like what I've seen so far!

Do you connect the Com- on the sureservo to anything to make this work?
