Brains Development / Available hardware for TCP Modbus?

« on: October 09, 2007, 09:18:16 AM »

Hello All, what hardware I/O-board or PLC for TCP or Serial Modbus is available and
where could I buy it? I was watching the new videos about Brains and Modbus
and I want to try it.

General Mach Discussion / Modbus protocol

« on: September 07, 2007, 10:23:46 AM »

Hello all!
I'm thinking of making a interface using modbus and a AVR microcontroller.
Where can I find the protocol of modbus and how it's communicates with Mach?

Hi, is it possible to change the settings for the feed rate at the startup the program?
I think it's 6 units now and when using millimeter as unit my jogging is very slow.

The  knobs are pots equal to them mounted in the joystick.
In the keygrabber setup under the joystick tab I just assign the
functions I want for each axis.
The JOG button on my pendant are assigned to TABS button to toggle
the jog window and MODE toggle cont/step jogging.

Thanks for your answers,
I have got the Grex for a while now, but I didn't want to rebuild my working
mill until the Grex was fully supported. Maybe it's time to make the switch.

Mach3 and G-Rex / Future of MachIV?

« on: August 09, 2006, 09:15:21 AM »

Hi, is the developing of Mach IV stopped and replace with G100 plug in for Mach3?
What is the status of that plug in right now? Is it possible to run a machine based on a Grex
with homing, limit, probing and jogging and so on?

I used a USB-joystick with 11 buttons and 3 analog axis saved the controller
PCB and put it in a hand held box with new buttons a potentiometers and set

Hi all,
my mistake, sorry about that.
I had the key grabber activated and one of the joystick axle was set to adjust
feed rate.
Sometimes I got very tired if myself.   

Sorry again that I disturbed you guys.

Roger
