Les, I think something else may be wrong.
I have used Classic Ladder quite a bit and I don't have any CPU loading issues at all. The last setup I did was driving step and direction motors via a LPT port on an Intel 330 based Atom motherboard. Last year Jeff Epler cleaned up the Modbus code for CL and I did some testing of it and the CPU loads were very minor. Dave On 3/28/2011 1:43 AM, Les Newell wrote: > Thanks.
