I am interested in what hardware (motion control card/port etc?) is required to interface to the motion control side and the PLC or machine control side, I don't seem to find the details on the web site.
HillBilly, I like that method also, where a strobe signal is sent by the CNC whenever a M,S or T is programmed and the CNC side waits for the Completion or FIN signal to be issued by the PLC. Most of the Major system manufacturers have adopted this method.
