We have a customer that has several VMC-4020
machines in an auto-loaded cell on which they would like to remotely control
tool offset values. The machines are equipped with the MP CNC controls.
Our intent is to use our PCEZ Remote System(http://www.ovationengineering.com/PCEZRemote.htm)
to allow the user to change offsets on any of the machines from a PC located
at the manual gage station.
Anyone know if the MP control has the capability (either as standard or
with purchased options) to accept external offset data? Does the control
support some type of macro I/O & custom macro B, similar to a Fanuc control?
Yeah, I've called the dealer and left a message, but I'm researching all avenues.
