I've seen Mazak do this pass through using the Mitsubishi drives and
amps. It was a convenience wiring thing. The Mazak that we converted
used Fanuc drives and did not have tachs on the motors. For that the
encoder signals went to the control and it created a tach signal for the
drives.

There are folk doing it but it is a bit different than the catchup you
suggest. The reason a stepper falls behind is because it's being worked
to hard. You can't work a stepper harder in order to catch up. What we
do is reduce the speed on other steppers until the slowest one catches

Interesting machine.
1. Before I swapped drives I'd look to see what command signal the
current drives use. At that age I'd bet on analog. If that is the case
and they work, you don't have to screw with tuning new drives to the old
motors.
2. I'd look at the kind of position feedback and se

There are a couple of real truths in the midst of this thread, but...
First I want to thank all of the folk who contributed to the
construction of this latest version. I've watched bug fixes, and doc
editing as we approached the release and several have done the heavy
lifting. Thanks. Then t

You could hard code your logic into a Comp module using a language and
environment quite similar to C. You can read about it in the Integrator
Manual. It's chapter 11 in the released version.
I'm curious though why you would not want to run ladder? It has obvious
advantages.

M2CW Nothing wrong with your question. No foul in the replies. We
need a little heat once in a while. It tends to clarify things and you
asked for clarification. Many other in the list are looking for the
same info. We are really fortunate that we have as many choices as we
do.

Hi Sergey
I've set up both here for testing and have gotten a Sherline to rapid at
125 IPM. The little leadscrews become a problem with whipping and
