I have every thing controlled by parport pins on my Shizuoka which makes for an inexpensive conversion, but one of the problems is that if I have my main breaker on while booting the EMC2 PC the mill will come up in an unsafe state. One of the solutions I was thinking about is, I seem to recall a watchdog frequency output from from the estop component that I could connect to a watchdog sensor connected to my main power relay.
A quick look did not reveal the information about the estop watchdog. Should I keep looking? Does anyone have a link to a watchdog sensor circuit that would output high at the set frequency and low in all other conditions? Is there a better way to do this? -- Kirk Wallace (California, USA http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ Hardinge HNC/EMC CNC lathe, Bridgeport mill conversion, doing XY now, Zubal lathe conversion pending Craftsman AA 109 restoration Shizuoka ST-N/EMC CNC) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
