Modbus / Re: Can A Modbus control a.........

« on: July 26, 2008, 10:50:33 PM »

The SS isn't a breakout board, it is the replacement of 2 parallel ports that can pulse much faster than parallel ports. You may still want to use a breakout board for opto isolation. You could use the SS plus a mod device or the G100 with the IO only plug-in. The g100 would be able to handel a good bit of additional I/O. Probably enough for for a pretty simple tool changer and if you can't find a G100 cheap, I'll sell you one. I wouldn't use the G100 for motion control but if it can handel all of the extra I/O you need, may be a cheap alternative to a PLC.. The SS is far superior to it as far as motion control. The disadvantge of haveing the SS control the tool axis is you will loose time on tool changes.

Hope this helps a little.

Looks good Hood. You do good work and the machining ain't bad either. 

Some of those pieces look familiar.

Maybe if you just posted the flash slider that you use..... Then I could insert it and see if the problem is resolved.

Hey John, That was just a standard slider. I modified my set in Screen 4.

JoNo, After each sub calculate, hit calculate on the right then save, then do the next sub the same way. 3 clicks for each, 9 clicks total. Let me know how that does.

John, I modified that set while beta testing the ROR. It think the problem was the size of the dro.  I can't remember exactly what it was but think that was it.  I can send you my screen set if youd like. Be warned though, it is modified and some of the basic functions of Mach have been mapped to other keys.
