No, it requires an encoder
I had one project where it would be cool to tap it via CNC, I have never
done that and as I work on this retrofit, I wonder if it would be possible
for me to have that capability. What does it require hardware wise? Servo
spindle motor?
thanks!

Can you say why the old EMCO control is better than EMC2? By the way, I

Sadly we sill use ours with the old EMCO ISA board in windows 98.

Yea I remember that thread. The end result is that the architecture of
the EMCO PC Mill 50 is fundamentally incompatible with the
architecture of EMC. EMC needs to be in direct control of the motors
and etc. The EMCO has electronics inside it that already implement all
that with closed loop control

"Are you sure we need realtime? "
It is my understanding that EMC is 'Realtime" thereby eliminating the slow
serial port for machine control.
As Roland notes below, the machine accepts Step/dir signals converting it to

I worked on one these a few years back, and built a RS485 sniffer, but never
got as far as looking at the data. The owner was reluctant to attach wires..
I remember the card in the PC being quite large. It obviously did a lot of
stuff.
But I do recollect seeing that the stepper drivers, all separa
Are you sure we need realtime? I kind of doubt that Emco would use a
PLC for anything but the real time operation of the motors.

Having said that, depending upon your budget, you could through the existing
controller away (and/or ebay it) and pick up a stepper controller that would
allow you to run the mill through the parrallel port (cheap) or using an
FPGA board (less cheap).

A local campus has an EMCO PC Mill 50, which communicates over RS485
with a PC (running Win98, bleh!). I was wondering if anyone here has
had any experience with EMCO machines. I'd like to get an idea of how
difficult a retrofit with EMC would be.
To my eye, it appears that the stepper driver
