Hi Ron, Has there been any response to provide you assistance to make the mill run with EMC?
I am an experienced field service engineer that has retrofitted several machines with different systems. I keep trying to get around to an EMC project but because it is not a paying job it ends up on the back burner. I can come with tools, wire, connectors, etc., years of experience and a helper that has worked with me retrofitting. Now all we need is a source of tech support ..... Jon Elson or someone else by phone? I have accomplished many things with capable phone support. I can also bring a laptop and work by email (wireless or network cable) with whomever might be able to provide instruction. Can you tell I am interested?
