I have been using sserial-connected servo drives for 10 years or more. (8i20) Have you noticed that the preferred interface for the STMBL is smart-serial? One neat setup is a Mesa 7i94 hanging on the Ethernet port, and then up to 8 STMBL drives. http://store.mesanet.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=83_85&product_id=324 This does not _have_ to use proprietary Mesa hardware, a few folk have made their own 7i94 equivalent boards using the Mesa firmware. And STMBL talks STMBL but using STM32 code rather than the Mesa VHDL. -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1912 _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
