    Anyone know the Parker ZX drive?

    I'm trying to figure out what it takes to get Mach3 to work with the Parker Compumotor ZX610 servodrives. We've been using the Xware terminal so far and other than Xcode I don't see where the drive accepts any other type of inputs but maybe I'm missing something. Anybody know about this?

    Follow-up:
    The ZX is a single axis controller using an ASCII proprietary command language input on a serial port. No amp level inputs, although earlier versions did have that. Not conducive to coordinated multi-axis use. Coordinated moves are possible, if programmed in Xware. These will be used for awhile and then replaced with standard servo amps.
