Hi Tom,
I was wondering if it would be possible to use Kflop in a PLC control scheme without any hardware connected to it. We have an X, Y gantry stone polishing machine. The machine has an HMI with many canned polishing patterns and works fine with straight moves. We would like to be able to odd shaped stone which would require coordinated moves. There is a Do-More PLC controlling 2 VFD motors with encoder feedback. The PLC is not capable of doing coordinated moves. I would like to send X,Y point(s) and velocity to the KFlop via modbus/ethernet. I would then stream encoder positions as fast as possible and get back velocities to pass on to the PLC's analog drive signal. The Kflop would only be used in automatic mode. Speeds are slow and accuracy is not critical. (+- .5 inches, ~2000 encoder counts). Do you think this is doable?
Thanks, Shannon
