1. Page 82: I would hope this is no longer true (the bitfiles were fixed sometime in 2005) Note!: This is the intended pinout of P3. Unfortunately, in the current FPGA configuration dis-tributed with EMC2 10 , the secondary encoders, enc-04, enc-05, enc-06, and enc-07 are wrongly

I have started work on my Bridgeport mill. I jury rigged a Sanyo P5 1kW motor with a Rutex amp to get an idea about if it will work. I can get it to move, but at times during the motion it pulses at about four times a second, or stalls with a jerk at the pulse timing. Sometimes it will even

emc uses this equation to get pwmRate from dacRate: pCard16-pwmRate = dacRate * 65536 / 1000 * 1024 / 33000; so the 33MHz SYSCLK is hardcoded at the moment. That makes the max usable Hz value 32226, giving a pwmRate of 65534 and an actual rate of 32225.79Hz. I've updated the documentation to

Question - I know that classic ladder has modbus capability. Even though EMC does'nt use it, can classic ladder use it for additional I/O points for switches and coils? Dave - Original Message - From: Dave Keeton To: emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net Sent: Sunday,

Fantastic...The new version of classic ladder has the modbus option in the config. But the version with EMC 2.1.7 does not have this. This could open up alot of I/O for me for a solid operators station. Can the classic ladder in EMC be upgraded? If you could check the inputs in classic ladder I

the classic ladder in emc can't communicate directly to modbus -- it only communicates to HAL pins. That option should not appear. Jeff - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to
