Hello. A few years back I bought a cnc machine. I was told just the monitor needed replacing. I did that. Then it has been one card after the next and no real support, unless I fly a tech in and pay big bucks.
So now I have been reading about emc. I want to pull the control off the machine and install a P.C. with EMC. So I am looking for a bit of guidance. I now have a machine tool, with a control, plc, servo drivers, servos, encoders, limits switches and nice ball screws. From what I understand after reading for a few days. I need a control, a driver card? with i/o plus everything above except the plc? Which driver card is better with EMC? Do I use the same card to drive the spindle and all the axis (including the tool changer)? Is there a all in one card for the servos and the encoders? Is it the way to go? Thank you for reading Jeff Thompson. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
