> First, is there a way to remotely control LinuxCNC and get feedback from it to my UI?
As you said, there is linuxcncrsh. I use it to monitor the status of my machines (C# windows app). Also, linuxcnc uses NML for interprocess communication. This is supposed to work between machines just by setting up the correct linuxcnc.nml file, but I've never tried it. Theoretically, you can move the gui to another machine just by changing this setting, but unfortunately most gui apps require access to the local configuration files. > Second, I have seen posts mentioning modBus is available with LinuxCNC and others saying it isn't. Which one is it? I don't think there is a "Modbus" module, but as others have mentioned, classic ladder uses Modbus, and there are several inverter controllers/spindle controllers that use Modbus to communicate. I think they are built using libmodbus.
