Here's what I got from Heidenhain. It looks like the 183 and 185 shouldn't be a problem but I'm not sure about the 495S. It looks like I'd need some kind of converter. Anyone know about that?

Thanks Al, I actually just heard back from them. They had some questions and will hopefully get back to me with the cables and pinouts shortly. I'll post the info once I get it for anyone else who...
I have 3 LC series encoders that all seem to use the same connector, LC 183, LC 185 and a LC495S. I've been trying to find the cables and a pinout for them, but haven't had any luck at all. The...
Craig, Thanks for the info. I didn't realize the ESS was this limited, thanks for enlightening me. I think I'm going to need to look for a different motion control that will work with the rest of...
Craig, thanks for the suggestion for the AEIC7272, I'll look into it.
As for the encoder, I assumed that ESS/Mach used the feedback for tapping, but I guess the driver must do that for it.

Thanks for getting back to me! Unfortunately, I will need orientation for tapping and for my ATC. It will accept +/-10V input and Modbus. I'm using a C82 BOB, this setup actually:...
I'm in the process of rebuilding my Milltronics Partner 1 mill using Mach4 and ESS. I'm to the point of trying to get my SZGH servo spindle motor,...
I recently disassembled my spindle and removed the bearings. Unfortunately I didn't think to pay attention to the orientation of them as I took them off. Does anyone know the orientation of them...
Found out all the outputs are disabled on E-Stop, so I think I'm good.
I'm rebuilding my Milltronics Partner 1 mill with all new hybrid steppers, drivers, control, ect... I purchased a 24VDC brake to add onto my Z stepper. I'm trying to figure out how to wire it so...
Is nesting still available in V34? I don't have the option where it says it should be and I don't see it as a licensable module. I also can't find it on the website, other than where it shows where...
Is there any way to add tabs to points besides the beginning, middle or end of a line? I really need to be able to position tabs in specific places so that when I'm machining the part next to it the...
OK, got some help and found out that 6005 needs to be changed from 2.0 to 1.0 when you change 1249 to r.
Pretty sure the attached post is good now.

Thanks, but I'd rather the software I paid for worked correctly.
I asked this in my other post, but I figured I'd make a new post just for this. My Southbend Magnaturn 1218 needs code where X is the radius. I made sure line 1249 is set to r, but it still outputs...
I figured out that it wants FILE001.LNC as the format, but it wouldn't accept that until I saved a program from the control and copied my code into it. Seems weird, not sure what's going on there. ...
Ok, I'm working on running this code in my lathe finally. Adjust a couple of little things, but my machine wants X programmed in Radius, not Diameter. I have line 1249 set to R, but it still...
Hi George, I'm guessing there's something wrong with the ultrapath then.
Right now I'm trying to load a sample program I made in BobCAD, but it's not finding it. Can you tell me how the files are...
I tried that last night & I couldn't type anything. I tried the number pad and the numbers above the keyboard.
Thanks George.
I've got a question about Ultrapath. When I go into it, the right hand part of the screen just flashes and I can't type anything. All I can do is Ctrl-Alt-Del to reboot the...
I guess I posted my last post too quickly! I think I have everything working correctly now. I was able to use a prev_x to add the x position in the G33 line and use thread_lead and change that...
Single line drilling seems to work correctly. I got regular tapping to output mostly correctly by copying it from another POST that had it. I have to make sure if I need the M5 on a separate line...
I've been working on modifying the Southbend Magnaturn post BOBCAD supplies because it's nowhere near correct. I've got it a lot better, but I'm stuck at the OD threading cycle. Magnaturn doesn't...
Hi George, thanks for getting back to me! I did put a flat screen in it along with USB floppy emulators. I'll look in the ultrapath utility, I haven't used it yet. No, I didn't get a manual but...
Hi George, Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. I just started messing around with the lathe again. I have version 1.27 of the Magnaturn software. Any idea if there's a newer version? I...
Well, I figured it out pretty much. You can use align axis to orient the parts correctly then use translate to move them individually to where I want them. It's not super easy, but it does work.
I'm used to doing this in SolidWorks, but since they got rid of online licensing I can't use my work license at home any longer. I'm trying to do it in BobCAD, but I'm not sure how to do it. I need...
Well, your ATC file is a bit different than mine for sure. I'll give try loading it tonight & see if it makes a difference. I'm thinking not though because it still just calls M19 by itself which...
Thanks for that file! I'll look at it tomorrow. I have a feeling that it's the .hex file that the save parameter option should save to the floppy that is my problem. M19 just spins the spindle and...
