Hi,

I want to buy a Simotion D4X5 Controller and motor to set up a test rig at my home. Does anyone know where you can find used stuff to make it a little cheaper.

Hi cdaly2001.

For Siemens stuff, you can find a lot on ebay.de.
And you can call Siemens and ask if they have test or demo equipment that they want to exchange for the latest versions. They often have.
edit: You may also be able to ask to loan equipment for some time.

I've had good luck getting used stuff, mostly older AB stuff, on ebay. Usually pretty cheap too.
