Hi Folks,
I'm curious about what PC software can be used to control, i.e. send down g-code, to several external motion devices (motors) that have their own individual TCP/IP addresses?
For example the Lexium Mdrive Ethernet/IP or Modbus TCP
Several of these motros can be connected to a ethernet hub, and a PC attached to the hub. Everything has it's own individual IP address.
Looking at tools like Mach3 I see it only connects to one TCP/IP "Master" address and expects all the axis to be driven from this one address.
Is there anything similar that does an Axis per IP address?
Note Also the mdrives have a few I/O ports on the back. That could be connected to limit switches or other things. It'd be good to control this I/O also.
Thanks in advance for any pointers.
