Thank you........using modbus through classic ladder is all I want to do......I have the hardware and all I need is a way to patch it through classic ladder. My plan is to use the Motenc Lite I/O points for timing critical functions such as home switches, E-Stop and Overtravel Switches and the like and use modbus I/O points through classic ladder for operator push buttons for mode and jog functions. Weather EMC actually looks at the modbus points is not an issue as I can use classic ladder outputs to feed signals to EMC. I plan to use only digital I/O through modbus so if anyone can get classic ladder to read modbus I/O the rest would be easy.......This would give us almost infinite (relatively speaking) I/O. The device I have worked well in Mach3 so it should'nt be an issue. It also works with the stand alone version of Classic Ladder. It is a Cubloc CB290 from Comfile Technology. Look it up, It is pretty slick.
