Guys, just to clarify, the control is still Fanuc, not LCNC. So I need to interface with the Fanuc control. Also, the drives on this lathe are all using serial communications (the lathe is from 1997) so I think it's not that easy to replace an original drive for a non Fanuc one. That's why I'm just hoping there's some kind of interface to convert the signals from/to the fanuc control to use a standard VFD. If not, I guess I'll have to replace the drive entirely and try to repair the one that's not working without the rush of getting the machine working again.
