Hi Alex,
I'm about to use emc2 to drive my embroidery multihead machine. But, I'm
not shure about speed. Embroidery machine runs at 400 rpm.That means Emc2
must generate up to 600 pulses in 75 miliseconds, at two independent
paralell port lines, and with acceleration and decceleration phases,
I don't think putting EMC2 in ROM would change much. The software can
still be misconfigured. Probably a significant part of the $4,000 is for
someone to provide support and make guarantees on performance and
uptime, and probably purchase liability insurance for their company.

HI MATT,
MY BIG MISTAKE!
IT ISN'T 600 BUT 60 PULSES IN 75 MILISECONDS

Hi Miroslav,
that's even less. I'd say it's realistic to expect about 25-30.000 pulses /
second from emc2 without majour problems.
Regarding trapezoidal profile, it does it properly if you set the right
acceleration values.
S-curve profiles haven't been implemented yet.

Alex

So, question is where is
big incentive to use EMC2? One wrong move of machine that ran on EMC2
will cost me between 10 000-400 000!!! Todays parts are very
expensive. When I said machine wrong move I meant software got
corrupted machine stop or made wrong move

Well put! I've been running emc since you had to patch the kernel
(0.9 patch , its been so long I can't remember) to get emc to run.
Somewhat before the BDI's.
I've never had a well checked out controller take off on me.
Anytime I've had a problem I had done something stupid and
