I spent a few hours every now and then. There was few quirks but finally I got it up and running. I do not regret the time spent.

Me myself should use it to turn off/on solenoids, motor relays, release brake. > Hi, > > I'd like to announce the first release of my LinuxCNC userspace HAL > module for PROFIBUS-DP. > It is based on the pyprofibus project that implements a PROFIBUS stack > in Python. > > https://bues.ch/h/profibus > > pyprofibus includes an example LinuxCNC project (linuxcnc-demo > directory) that connects LinuxCNC to an ET200S slave via HAL signals. > > pyprofibus can either be connected directly to LinuxCNC, or awlsim (a > S7 soft-PLC) can be put in between for additional signal processing > using an AWL/STL program. > > Feel free to experiment with this stuff. > I'd be happy if people try this on other PROFIBUS slaves and > find/squash some bugs in the process. > > Happy hacking and CNCing. > > -- > Michael ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
