Dave, I have not counted. It consists of 1 main with two subs. The main Program is pretty simple. One sub handles input from my pyvcp panel to change the tools manually and the second sub evaluates the called switches and evaluates them for two Different speeds. Fast and Slow. The Program as a whole is by no means completed but I posted some screen-shots here.
http://www.clintandheidi.com/multimedia/pictures/hitachiseiki/ Also the Ribbon Cable from the Mesa 5i20 does directly plug into the Opto 22 Board directly. I also posted a picture of that as well. I am using Opto 22 G4PB24 backplanes with G4-IDC5 input modules and G4-OAC5 AC output modules (5 volt logic). The Tool Turret has positions for 5 internal tools and 5 OD tools. There is also an additional turret which I have not yet implemented which also has Tail-Stock and Drilling Positions which I will be working on soon....
