That's what I was afraid of. Tons of work when really the easy solution is to
repartition the disk so it matches the dual boot one in the shop and then
install from the same Live CD I used for the shop computer. Really does make
sense. Just that the office one has all sorts of

Hey Andy
my mill doesn't need any toolchanging movement once the z axis gets to the
toolchange height. the toolchanger has a arm that drops down and swaps the
tools, It is quite a new mill with a 24 tool side mount random position

It really depends on what you are familiar with. If you have a classic
ladder back ground - it might be an easy way for you to create the logic
you need. It is just another tool.
On the K&T the tool arm and chain is done in classic ladder. The gear
shifting and spindle index is done in a comp.

No, all it does is manage the carousel rotation when passed a pocket number.

My answer is it depends.
If you already have I/O that you can use, and you can do the logic in
Classic Ladder or a component, then that will work.
If you need to add high current I/O or need 120 or 220 volt AC I/O then
you might as well buy a cheap PLC. The Click PLC with the Modbus TCP

Not enough space for the scope etc. out in the shop. Much easier to set up a
small test set and verify things when all the lab equipment is handy.

A properly made VFD should have nothing between it and the motor, except
perhaps a manual disconnect, which you'd only open after the input power is
disconnected. If the VFDs have a remote control input like RS485, USB, a
network jack etc. it should be possible to use an SBC like a Raspberry Pi
I would definitely put a reactor, filter/s, or isolation transformer on
the front end of the cheap drives.
If you are not running the drive cables (the cables between the drives
and the motors) in conduit or metallic seal tite, I would use shielded
cable.
Otherwise you risk RFI issues. I've
