All,
A couple of years ago I retrofitted a Cincinnati Milacron Cim-X
milling center with EMC2. Due to an operator error this machine is no longer
mechanically serviceable. I have the following for sale that was pulled from
the machine:

Did you disconnect the reference signal or just give it no command? You
should disconnect the reference signal and put a jumper between Reference +
and -. Then tune the zero offset in the drive. If it is noise you can put
the ferrites on the encoder and reference cables. You also may want to hoo
You are correct Jeff, That's the correct error format I was getting. I have
been bumping this memory thing for a while but have been getting around it
creatively ;)
If I open up more memory will it take memory away from other functions else
where or is this just reserving memory for hal?

the reference signal disconnected to set the zero offset. Most drives have

Peter,
I have a question about the the 7i33. The machine we are discussing
has three 25 HP spindle motors operating on 3 separate VFD's. We have a
Italian control that was fitted onto a machine and it has a 100ma limit on
its analog output. Each VFD requires a minimum of 70ma to run. W

I agree with you Chris. The drive can be setup for either a 3v/1000 or
7v/1000 tach signal. This might be the simplest way to to do it. Servotek
makes really good tachs, May be just what I need.

Wether it would work or not I couldn't tell you. But I should say this -
The Fanuc drives I have experience with would not tolerate ANY

The C22 interface is designed to plug in to a second parallel port.

All,
I have a 144 bit ISA I/O board. It is listed on the comedi drivers
list. The board is a PCL-722. Can this be interfaced to classicladder
and if so how would I configure classicladder to read and write to it in
the classicladder config file?
Thanks,

I have an mpg unit hooked up and it is working well. I also want to hook up a

I can get one or the other working but not both hooked up together. I believe
the problem is that I need to seperate the mpg-a and
