General Mach Discussion / reading modbus input
« on: April 16, 2007, 12:43:45 PM »
So, i posted this on cnczone, but after thinking about it, thought this might be the more intelligent place to ask :P

I am hitting a massive mental block on reading modbus inputs (using an AD PLC as extended I/O via modbus).  I am implementing some safeties on a machine being used as a "production machine"... and am writing some custom m-codes to interface with the safeties.

I know that i can map the modbus I/O to the inputs under the P&P screen, and just do an "isactive" command with my vb script, but with the number of things I am going to be possibly interfacing, I am going to want to be directly reading/writing to my modbus I/O.

If someone could please help me clear the fog, I would really appreciate it.  I have done it before, but it was over a year ago, and i am just blanking on how right now :( booo :(

Thank you very much in advance!

-Nate
