Re: [Emc-users] Delta Electronics VFD and Modbus

VFD. This allowed me to get the serial connection and VFD sorted out. (Actually, before that I assembled Modbus packets manually and sent them out the serial port, without using libmodbus) -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45

Re: [Emc-users] Delta Electronics VFD and Modbus

that had a HAL to Modbus, Modbus to hardware, and a communication controller. This was supposed to handle multiple serial ports and Modbus devices. I got it mostly working, but has been stalled for a couple of years. -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http

[Emc-users] 6i25 StepGen

I need to output quadrature stepping from a 6i25. Do I have any options in this regard, other than bit banging or external circuitry? Thank you. -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45
