  1. Replacing a Bridgeport Boss 8 EMC3 board with the right one.

    Has anyone replaced a Bridgeport Boss 8 Emc3 card?
    Most have caution labels.
    Opperator Control- xxxxxx
    Front pannel- xxxxxx

    Do the numbers have to match exactly?

    If anyone is still interested the Bridgeport Boss 8 & 9 (R2E3, R2E4) use 250 ppr encoders which gives you position accuracy of .0005 per step. Taken from the manual.
