I am hoping to control my Onan with EMC2 someday: http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/Onan_5CCK/ The plan is to not use AXIS at all. I would create a pyVCP panel similar to a DRO/spindle speed setup: http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/EMC2/dro_vfd/ http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?PyVCP http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?GladeVcp http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?GladeVCPprogramming http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?ClassicLadder that would allow me to set the RPM (though the setting should never change) and display the generator status. A PID could be connected in the .hal file to the panel RPM value, then output to a control component (stepgen, siggen, pwmgen, etc). The tricky bit would be in deciding how to convert the PID output into a physical throttle position. I think pyVCP is not the latest control panel method so I included some other links above. The basics are similar. -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/index.html California, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The modern datacenter depends on network connectivity to access resources and provide services.
