I downloaded and started playing with ClassicLadder. In the EMC documentation: http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?ClassicLadder it indicates that the Config button is not available. I assume that is because connecting ClassicLadder to the physical world is being done by HAL instead of the Config button? The Config button is also where Modbus is configured. In classicladder.c it seems the Modbus server entries that are in the generic ClassicLadder are missing in the EMC version. If this is true, then there currently is no Modbus support in EMC? -- Kirk Wallace (California, USA http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ Hardinge HNC lathe, Bridgeport mill conversion, doing XY now, Zubal lathe conversion pending) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
