MVP 2023 kratmel Posted September 19, 2022 MVP 2023 Report Share Posted September 19, 2022 I received an interesting task related to the movement of a part using two axes. X and Z axes will work alternately. The only requirement is to use a large Vision V1210 screen (no snap -in present) and two powerful stepper motors with built-in step and direction drivers once purchased by the customer. Should I buy another TR34 or TRA22 PLC in addition to the existing one or order and wait for EXF-RC15? There is also a way to buy a motion control module and send tasks to it from the panel. What do you think is the most simple and effective solution of this task with present customer hardware? p.s. The stepper driver is not hybrid - therefore, it will not work to use the signal for a high-speed counter from its built-in encoder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP 2023 Ausman Posted September 19, 2022 MVP 2023 Report Share Posted September 19, 2022 To me it all depends on speed of response required. If not "immediate", as they're running separately you could possibly use 485 to send simple relevant commands if the drivers can handle such input. This would keep it very simple, but 485 ability is the issue. cheers, Aus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
