Setting up a Wabeco F1200C for CNC
Hi gurus,
I've been searching the interweb for good answers to my newbie question but haven't really found one. The question is this:
I have a Wabeco mill with 3 stepper motors for x, y and z. These motors have one 9-pin RS232 plug each. As I understand it what I now need to get is a motion controller that accepts these plugs and further connects to my PC running Mach4. But so far I haven't found any motion controllers with 9-pin RS232 input.
Can I convert the 9-pin plugs into USB and get a USB motion controller or does anyone have recommendations for how to proceed with my current plugs?
Your help would be highly appreciated!

Best regards,
Stian

These are not serial plugs, they are simply connectors - you just need to open then up to see which pins are connected to which wire in the stepper. once youve done this - any stepper driver will work (current requirements allowing) - You just need to get corresponding sockets to make an adaptor cable if you want to keep the existing plugs.
