If you want to use a hal command, like sets or setp, in a g-code file; I think you will have to put it in a custom m-code or something like that. - Original Message - From: "Gene Heskett" To: emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net Sent: Monday, December 11, 2017 8:18:38 AM Subject: Re: [Emc-use

[Emc-users] Controling Multiple Machines As One?

I've been mulling an idea over in my head. Seeking ideas and opinions. I work with wood carving machines, doing large production runs in a factory setting. In order to increase production speed we have several large multi-spindle gang router machines. These are big and expensive custom built c

Re: [Emc-users] Controling Multiple Machines As One?

Theoretically it could be done with enough work but that is definitely an advanced level project for someone with programming knowledge and plenty of spare time. What is your objection to running the machines separately? You have to load/unload the machines independently so it is no big deal to

Re: [Emc-users] Controling Multiple Machines As One?

I think today with no modification to the software you could set up four Linux CNC systems. Each of them "headless" with no monitor or keyboard. Then you get a office PC with a large monitor and route all for LinuxCNC displays to the one PC on your desk. Not quite the same thing as you asked for

These links provided me with the answer. The EEPROM is supposed to be programmed via Ethernet connector. Beckhoff have special software for this and I also see Twincat system manager, maybe it's just manager software according to standard? On Mon, 11 Dec 2017 12:17:03 +0200 Roland Jollivet w
