Dale, In most cases it is better just to write new ladder than to try and port from one system to another. I've been programming PLC's for longer than I can remember. I can assist if needed. Basicly you need three things: 1 List of inputs 2 List of outputs 3 List of what you want to happen

Gene, I've tried out a number of the Intellicad clones and found that Progesoft has a free version that they call 'ProgCAD Smart' that seems to work under the Wine emulator here. Here a URL for it: http://www.progesoft.com/compra/index.asp?left=prodotti/eng_progecad2008smartabspage=1lang=eng

John, I will make the list in the next 2 or 3 weeks. By then I will finish reading HAL/Classic Ladder and then start the PLC program. If I have problems can I get some help from you? Thank you for the assistance Dale John Thornton [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Dale, In most cases it is

If I added pulses can it be done? My encoder is just a homebuilt opto switch. Cutting out a new wheel with more slots/holes would be trivial. Can EMC thread with just one train of pulses? Ie use just one pin of the parallel port? --- John Kasunich [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Curtis W. Moore
