Greetings Campers,
Got some pics of my new "Bat Desk"!!!!
This is my "R & D" station.... It has 2 DL06's hooked up in a 485 drop network (that includes a GS1 drive/spindle motor, and a Sure Servo drive/motor),
the master PLC has 2 HTRIO modules to drive 2 servos that control the swap arm, and caracell of a Read-A-Head ATC, plus an analog module that has
a non-485 0-10v spindle control output option, and analog inputs for FSOVR, SSOVR, JSOVR and a spindle temp monitor. The master and slave plc is hooked to
Mach3 via TCP Modbus. I hooked a Touch Monitor HMI that hooks to the Master PLC to monitor/diagnose peripheral IO of the machine, plus notify the user of a PM schedule and recipes for auto oilier and other routines. It has connections for various PoKeys configs, MPG10, Yaskawa, MP-03, other pendants, a smooth stepper, a galil motion card, and the new Centiped (you can see it on the left table top). I have some other minor details left to do, like add a separate MPG to the button/knob panel on the right, and put the secondary monitor on a swing arm. I added two pull out "Arm Rest", and added a book shelf on top of the Hutch.....
I even put 220v power on a breaker going to it, with LOTS of power strips, 5vdc, 12vdc, and 24vdc PS...
I think this desk almost pegs the "Geek Meter"......
