Greetings,

I just picked up a used Multicam MG204 with a 4 hp Colombo spindle.

I want to replace it with a spare 10 hp HSD and Yaskawa VFD.

Unfortunately, the Yaskawa model does not do MODBUS. Is it possible
to configure a Multicam to control a VFD by another means other than
MODBUS.

Prior to this MG204, I'd had AXYZ machines. They didn't use MODBUS.
They used EMOP to control the speed. If your VFD didn't have EMOP,
you could still configure it just to start and stop at whatever speed you
had the drive configured for.

I'd rather not spend $1200 for a VFD when I already have 3 on the
shelf.

Any insight is greatly appreciated.
