I’m open to considering any hardware options, but will there be HAL drivers
available?

hi Tony,
we are releasing a new motenc board that will provide servo and stepper
controls. the io are similar to motencLite with opto22 style connectors. In
addition, we are also planning fieldbus I/O support (most likely devicenet)
that will extend the i/o points to accomodate large mills. the fieldbus I/O
come in a variety of ac/dc/relay contacts. so you don't need to use opto22
style i/o boards.

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
