For what I recall when I was programming my gluing machine, I had LOTS
of problems with the classicladder gui. It was very slow, mostly
unusable, but did not slow down th rest of the computer. The slower part
was the sequential editor.

I did some tests and the problem is not Modbus itself. It is the GUI.
Even if I disable Modbus the GUI really slows my machine down. I would
guess the main problem is that I have a lot of rungs in my ladder. I
originally set the ladder up about 18 months ago and I seem to remember
the GUI bein

I can't remember what it was like without Modbus. I'll do some more
tests later.

Hmm, well if I load the user mode part of CL with --nogui then the cpu
load is about 20% but I don't have modbus. If I remove the --nogui then
I get the GUI, modbus works and CPU load goes up to 90%.

Les,
I think something else may be wrong.
I have used Classic Ladder quite a bit and I don't have any CPU loading
issues at all.
The last setup I did was driving step and direction motors via a LPT
port on an Intel 330 based Atom motherboard.
Last year Jeff Epler cleaned up the Modbus code fo

Thanks. I think I will have to go down that route because ClassicLadder
is being a real CPU hog. Without the CL GUI loaded my average CPU load
with Axis running is 20%. With Modbus enabled and the ClassicLadder GUI
running, CPU load averages 80%.

I might look into doing that. If you use Modbus in ClassicLadder you
have to have the GUI r

Why not? I found it to be a great fit for HMIs, and fearsomely easy. Granted,
if you already hack pics and avrs in your sleep, it probably has little to

When I retrofitted my Colchester Trumph 2000 lathe I left the original
