Hello -- I hope I am not asking one of those already answered questions. I looked in the archives, but maybe did not perform the correct searches. Here is my question: My mill is outfitted with the Servo II system from Servo Procucts Co., complete with the black box controller, etc. Will EMC work for controlling this system? Thanks! rbp |

Hi rbp A quick look at the Servo Products web site reveals very little (read zero) information. It may be possible to use EMC with the Servo II, but if this is an external box fed from a serial (usb, rs232, or ethernet) interface, then the prospects are virtually none. A bit more detail on the hardware and interface may help in giving a more informed reply. Regards, Paul.

Hi Paul, RBP. Found this (google cache) http://216.239.41.104/search?q=cache:bmrMOIxXfukJ:www.servoproductsco.com/html/servo_ii_cnc____retrofit_syste.html+%22Servo+II%22+Automated+Control+System&hl=en&ie=UTF-8 Note that links from the cache to servoproducts.com PDF's work. also http://www.corrick.com/servoii.htm Not very helpful either. It sure demands much more from the computer, if it's run under WinXP! RBP: do you have the software for it? It might be possible to log the commands sent and decypher them. (windows only - http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/portmon.shtml) However, if there is no info for it, it'll be very hard for you to do!

You could go into it and give it a lobotomy (assuming its one of those on board micro things)and hook the drive (STEP/DIR)ckts direct to the LPT or a servo card, as the case may be. Mark |

Hello I have looked in all the handbooks look at the NIST arcives and can't seem to find the anwsers. Could someone anwser what the M code MO3 - 4 - 5 has on the pins 2-3-5 does (pin 5 spindle on) go high when MO3 S100 is called along with (pin 3 spindle forward) and when MO5 is called does pin 5 & 3 go low depending on the polarity in the ini file? Also what effect does lube input have on the controllor does it go into estop or pop up a message and keep on running? Does EMC support sub programs? I don't see any call codes for them. Thanks AL. |

For instance, ; digital out bits SPINDLE_FORWARD_INDEX = 1 sends the spindle forward run signal to the 2nd control bit on the parallel port. I think this comes out on pin 14. See http://emc.sourceforge.net/Handbook/node21.html for more info on the parallel port pin assignment. Jon |

Hi Al You can watch the effect of these using IO_Show under the scripts menu with tkemc. You'll need to be running bridgeporttask and bridgeportio or tkio. It may complain that you have an external estop switch closed. If it does you'll need to change the polarity of the estop sense pin in the INI. Then it will complain that estop didn't change when it starts but it will come out of estop. If you toggle the labels on IO_Show it will show the pins the way that you've set them. No looping or sub programs.
