What Hardware Are You Using With UCCNC (Controller, BOB, Drivers, Motors, Add Ons)

[Jon.N.CNC]

The ESS "IS" a motion controller. The PMDX is BOTH. I use the ESS as the motion controller connected to the PMDX as a bob.

Here: this is a link the the PMDX-126 that I run in all of my machines. PMDX.COM - Products for CNC and motion control applications

It was designed for the ESS to be plug n play. It even implemented pin 26 on the headers as 5v power for the ESS.

So I'm not sure why you're so confused. PC&Software+motion controller+bob+drivers+motors = motion

yes appologies, being as you said the uc400 is not compatible with the ess i thought you ment you wanted to run one into the other. As thats not what you ment and both going through pmdx then can they not be isolated from each other by simply not using the port of one when your using the other?

The PMDX 126 is NOT a motion controller is is simply a nice breakout board.
