General purpose IO, M62 to M65 turn on a digital output and M66 wait on input. I guess a synchonization primitive might be useful so that two controllers wait until both of them have reached the same numbered synchronization point. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
