bob and Steve you sell a board that connects to a ESS why don't you know how to set it up. and should the op be using it with M4. if I am out off line asking this question sorry but product support is your name and word
PMDX has not responded to these Mach4 configuration issues because they are
not being caused by the PMDX product or its documentation. They are specific
to the EtherNet SmoothStepper and how it is configured under Mach4. We do
not have an ESS with Mach4 running at our shop. If we knew what it took to
make the ESS operate properly we would have spoken up, but we do not and
when we do not know something, we tend to keep quiet rather than guess.
Warp9TD and the SmoothStepper user community are better equipped to
respond to this issue.
The current ESS plugin for Mach4 is doing configuration in a non-standard way
and is scheduled to be totally reworked in the near future. When this happens
it should be much simpler to configure a SmoothStepper under Mach4.
