I live in hope Pete, but as John S said in his usual encouraging way - it'll make a fine pen for my pigs if I fail to sort it !

Well I'm rooting for you awemason. If the controller doesn't pan out, though, didn't you mention a LinuxCNC box first post?

Me too. Keep it graceful, keep one hand in your pocket and keep us informed, please.

Thanks VTSTEAM. Yes LinuxCNC is the alternative, but I'm not sure it would cope with the amount of Input / Output there is on this beast. There are 128 inputs and 109 outputs not counting the specialist interfaces to the spindle and axis drives.

If you have PLC controls in there i'm sure something using something like MODBUS would get working with linuxcnc?
