I am hoping that I can get some advice from those of you that have done large scale retrofits of bigger machines. We have a Cincinnati Millicron with tool changer that we are retrofitting with EMC2.
What motion control cards have you had good success with? Right now I am leaning toward the Motenc-lite. How are you handling the 5/24 volt transition between computer and machine? Are the Motenc breakout boards good enough or is OPTO22 the only way to go? How are you handling the massive number of I/O? I have something like 116 in and 38 out digital. I don't think I want to use parports. Is there a generic large digital I/O PCI board I am not finding? Has anyone done much modification to AXIS to make it more compatible with existing physical control panels? Removing duplicate buttons and sliders from AXIS, etc. Thanks in advance, Tony Bussan ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
