Excellent! Thanks, Phil. I'd love your help with it, as well as anyone in here who uses Vim. The more of our eyes, the more glitches we'll iron out, and the more useful the syntax file will become. I'm not in the #emc too often, and usually only very late, but I'll look you up. Meanwhile, feel

It's generally NOT a good idea to power logic and high brakes from the same supply. Actuating a brake can cause power surges that will adversely affect your logic. Ken [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi I have one AC servo motor IG 34 with power brake. To open that power brake I need 24V 1.5 amp
