Can the code that expands the references in the INI file do multiplication then? Sadly not, it would be useful at times. Computations, loops, conditionals, procedures, etc. are doable in ini files using haltcl as a substitue for halcmd. The syntax for haltcl files is very similar to halcmd.

[Emc-users] Modbus VFD Adapter

2013-10-03 Thread Kirk Wallace
I'm thinking about completing some work I did with AVRs and Modbus by making an adapter that has a Modbus port for a PC connection, with digital and analog IO for VFD control. This could allow one to add Modbus control to a VFD that normally only has keypad or button and potentiometer control.

It's like you say ... VFDs are so cheap these days.. I consider the GS1 and GS2 series from Automation Direct to be throwaways if they fault out. And they seem to be quite durable on top of that... If you had a bunch of machines that already had VFDs in place and you didn't want to
