Modbus control


 

开云体育

My friends MACH3 system (on WIN-NT) has a MODIO.? I am helping him fine tune and document the system so I'm running his xml file here on my workstation (WIN-7). ?I also have one of Peter's MODIO boards so I can for the most part simulate things.

?

As shown in the screen shot below the MODIO is a john-prentice-version-0.9c.

?

What file do I look for to get from him to have modio working on my test system?

?

This forum posting from 2012 suggests that the john-prentice software isn't supported.

?

?

Thanks

John

Hi John,
It’s not supported in the same was Mach3 is not supported. ?
cheers,
Peter?


 

You should use the Modbus plugin that interfaces to Mach3 via brains.?

Have a look at;

cheers

Thanks Peter,

I kind of figured that.? My Modio is back in the box at the moment.? My friend is having a few issues but some of those are also self-inflicted.? He now tells me he doesn't use the Modio most of the time and has a different xml he runs for that.?

?

So I've told him he should disable the MODBUS flag on the first screen of the ports and pins and clean up a few other outputs.

?

In either case, as a Modbus product the last time I played it still appeared to work.? But then I also have Modbus tools on my PC for working with commercial Modbus products.
