I still wonder if the Plan9 File System (which is now supported in the Linux kernel) would be simpler. I will look into ZeroMQ to make sure I understand the issues, but it being GPLv3-only may or may not be an issue. As for ini files not supporting types and dereferencing... I've considered

Michael, hallo. Here is a way out question: In a distributed system would you see your way clear to do the whole setup of a headless station from the database? I.e. store (pointers to) the specific HAL code, ini files, etc in the database and distribute on power-up? j. On Fri, Aug 17, 2012 at 8:

Some tapping heads will release after a set amount of extension of the head components. These heads also self reversed upon axis retraction. This allows the programmer to drive to a position - dwell to allow the head to reach extension and release - reverse motion to retract the tap. > >

Tapping and die heads need the spindle to stop adancing into the work some distance before the depth required, the threading action continues to pull the holder out of the head till it hits its trip point. so set the depth by knowing where the tip point is dwell time by your spindle speed from stop
