Hi Juanjo. Your interest in EMC2 pleases me. Let me snip and respond to a couple of your thoughts.

Yes. It is as safe as you make it. EMC2 is only the motion and IO portion of the project. It will move the machine and control IO in conformance to the configuration and wiring that you set for it. > (i have near of 300 plc imputs,and 250 outputs). I don't believe that anyone has tried that complex a single ladder in EMC2 but see no real stumbling blocks to doing it. I have thought often of making some of the devices work with their own stand-alone PLC's or PIC processors or even separate PC's running parts of EMC2 like ladder. This could also be handled with some of the newer FPGA based products. > with EMC we can spend more money in the man hours > to implement it, Exactly. I don't know the comparison between labor and hardware for your country but I will say that there will be a lot of labor and a lot of time thinking through issues. I'd start by writing a brief description of each sub system and then expand that to the specific logic required for each. If you decide to convert this machine with EMC2 it might be a good plan to set up a web site with a wiki that we can all study and contribute to -- or if the folk are amenable -- put a section onto wiki.linuxcnc.org. That way we have a place to read about issues and talk with you about them. IRC would also be very good. Since your time zone is close to that of many of the USA members many can contribute. > its (obsolescence) the leitmotiv of my aproach to EMC. Exactly. EMC evolves to meet the needs of users. This project would no doubt cause some changes for the good. Because EMC uses off the shelf components you will be much less likely to get stuck with very expensive proprietary repairs.
