Post by dorro » Sun 16 Dec , 2012 1:08 am

Hi all,

could anyone tell me if it is possible to connect vr milling to optimised controls smartMOVE servo controller instead of the smartstep?

kindest regards

ian

Is the smartMOVE RS232 based as well ?
Most functions will work if so, but bear in mind that we had special firmware so there could be commands or features which won't work (threading and move buffering were features in our firmware not available in the standard one at the time IIRC )
