Hello, I'm looking for advice. First of all I am new to the world of PLC's. I am getting involved into machines and PLC's for fun. I have a large copy milling machine that I am interested in changing to a full CNC capable mill. I have some interest in using the TI-405 series PLC's to control the mill because I have some and cost is low. The mill has rotory encoders to control the servo drives. There are tachogenerators for feedback and also the mill has glass linear encoders that I can use for feedback also. I am wondering what the capabilities of the TI-405 (435) are and if it is a good possibility to use them to control the mill. I am not worried about my ability because I have time. Also if there is anyone that has some knowledge about how DirectSoft32 will help me out here I would appreciate that too.
The project: Copy Mill to CNC using PLC's
The Copy Mill: HC-1600 from OKK full working order
The PLC's: TI-405 series with many I/O's to choose from
The programmer: 405 series handheld
Thanks.
