Re: [Emc-users] A lot of input/output. Cheap

Hi Sven. Can you send a picture of the machine you have to retrofit ? Is it an injection moulding machine ? If yes how many tons is the closing clamp force and how many heating zones have the injection barrel/chamber ? Regards. Alex On Tue, Sep 15, 2015 at 11:41 PM, John Thornton

Gentlemen, be careful with Profibus, there are different tastes of it. Especially the one designed for building automation will not very well suit our needs. But, certainly, this is highly professional technology, extremely noise proof even at long distances of several hundred meters. Peter Am

Does anyone know what became of this discussion in 2012? http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.distributions.emc.user/39104 Was there an G71 implementation done based on remapping? Thanks, -Tom --

[Emc-users] GO704's fat spindle is being a problem child.

Greetings everybody; Thinking in electronic ink here... Is there a quick & dirty but adequate way to extend the 2 most common carbide bit sizes in my collection in order to gain clearance between the workpiece and its holding jigs? Something like an ER8 that I can plug into an R8 maybe? What

Hello Have a look here for the sizes of the ER nuts (there are several versions). http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/ER-chuck-nut-ER-collet-nut-ER-nut-ER11-50-type-A-M-UM/506241_528850800.html For ER 20 (the smallest that can take a 1/2'' tool shank), the minimum diameter would be 28 mm,

Re: [Emc-users] A lot of input/output. Cheap (Profibus)

I have used a lot of Profibus devices. I used to work for Siemens. Profibus is very robust if installed properly.DP is the norm for remote I/O. PA is designed for the process industry and not nearly as common. I always thought that a chip was needed for a DP master.I don't think a DP

Well, you can eliminate windows completely, if you have a phone or android tablet. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.machinekit.appdiscover=en I would argue that the ability to split the GUI from the engine is a good thing overall, but at your core, you're still looking at having
