[Emc-users] Classic Ladder running motor x mm.

2015-05-31 Thread Sven Wesley
Hi all, Trying to figure out if there's any way to run a motor, either a stepper or servo, a given distance with classic ladder _without_ having a XYZ configuration. I have a a sequence of things that will happen in a row in a machine running today, it's all mechanical and relay/timer driven, all
