Well, very interesting so far!!!
In the past, I use to work repairing all sort of machines, I've got experience with German,danish,Belgium,french,Italian, etc.. controls, and various PlC brands. We allways had some sort of respect for traditional British electric controls, good old fashion contactors basically indestructible and the same respect for American TTL technology.
Basically, I need to spend my cash on motors and controls.
Is not my intention to make this machine work 24/7, but I can see your point.
I am new to CNC machining but the configuration if I change controls and motors doesn't look to complicated (new hardware, new wiring and scrap everything). But I still have a mechanical speed control by pulley on the spindle, so scrap that too and modify the transmition to connect a frequency converter with a NEW MOTOR!!....AAARGH!
I wish I had all that time (and Dosh) to do all this.
In the meantime if any of you could put me in the right direction to get the wiring sorted for now with an opto card.I am sure that I still got a small design for an isolating board that I used on an industrial washing machine. I have got the original wiring diagrams but the TTL boards are not included and the pin connections are not clear (my fault for being new to this).
Thank you,is nice to find people ready to help.
