Logosol motion controller

 

It looks like you could take the 2-9 pins of the Smooth stepper for inputs step and direction directly into the servo amps CN8 pins 7 and 13. No sure how the 2310 would interface with mach3 and the SS.

Hello, there is nothing complex I think. The machine uses home, limit switches, tool length switch, tool clamp, maybe analog spindle speed control. Nothing that MACH cannot control already.

As I see I can put some Smooth stepper in place of the original PCI/ motion controller and use the original power supply with the drives running at step/dir mode. That is not as bad as I thought in the first place. The RS-485 links will be unused.

That's a pretty complex system. I do see that the servo amps can take step and direction signals but then the massive other features would be difficult to get around. I don't think Mach3 can deliver all the features of your current system.

Here is a quick look on two of the systems, yes there is a PCI card. I am not sure if I can post links here , sorry about that.

PCI card :
Motion controller:
Servo drives :

They are all based around the Logosol Distributed Control Network (LDCN) running on RS-485. Well build devices that have run many years. We want to migrate the software to MACH though as the original one has some restrictions. I believe that with the proper plugin this should not be a problem.

Photos inside the cabinet:?
Thanks.

Hello all, it is strange no one commented on my issue. Logosol seem to be US-made products. I thought you guys should be familiar with them.?

Thanks

?Hello, I have several cnc machines based on Logosol hardware- rs485 pci card, BoB and drives. I need to convert the software to MACH 3/4, but cannot find any info of suitable plugins. I want to retain much of the hardware as it is good and working. Any ideas appreciated.
