Is there a way to remotely stop and restart a program running with Turbocnc.
Below is a home built wire EDM I built from scratch.
For now the EDM is controlled by a programmable controller. It is limited to only rectangular moves right now.
In the EDM power supply is a circuit that monitors the spark voltage. When the spark voltage drops, x or y motion is paused until the voltage rises again and motion is resumed. This is easy with a PLC. If the voltage reaches "0" that means burn is shorted out and the machine must stop.
Turbocnc can be paused with the [ESC] key and the program can resume with the [Y] key. Can this be done without striking keys manualy? When I figure this out my wire EDM could be CNC controlled.
Any Ideas,
Jim
