The plug has what I believe is just outputs to the motors at the moment. Maybe 10 possible connections at the plug? Is there a standard layout for the pins? (I'm not there right now, so how many IOs I'm not sure of) The PLC is I think all software in the PC, not a formal external one, so no problem there. I'll just have to wire all that to a new IO board? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
