Hi all, I see this post started a couple of years ago, but i thought i would weigh in with a little of what i know. I don't know if it would be worth upgrading to other software, controls, and what ever else is involoved in upgrading the whole system. I suppose once I get it up and running, I suppopse I will have to use the toolpath software to operate the controller. If not there is a cable available to purchase. She is going to help me out what the cable diagram if she can get the info. It has a persky 5.5 hp spindle an invertor runs toolpath software Question is that a generic or brand specific software? AXYZ in atlanta helped me out with some info on my machine. It was in production use a few days prior to the shop closing down. I paid $250 for this thing, so if I have to put a little money into it, I can do that. But I am unsure if any one of them in particular would help you in determining any info on what to do or where to go. And I can run the last like 10 files stored in it. I will post a pic of the table below if that helps. I have not found any manufacturer data on it or serial tag or plate. And thanks you for any help you may have. Probably the best way to go these days is with a cheap laptop, and a Smooth Stepper output board, which plugs into a USB port - and provides all the outputs/inputs for the various mach 3 functions. The spindle is different, in that Mach 3 can output two different signals - one is step/dir as above - but acting on the spindle controller, the other method is a PWM (pulse wave modulation) waveform which can be converted into a speed signal voltage to drive an inverter or similar, and the reversing is taken care of by outputs on the spare outputs wires (one wire is 'on' for forward, one wire is 'on' for reverse) What you do not mention is what computer the client will be using, and what outputs it has. If this machine already uses stepper motors for the axis, then (providing they are CMOS/TTL compatible, you can probably control the driver cards directly from a computer output. Gecko, which convert the step and direction pulses into on/off signals for each phase of the motor. Mach 3 puts out step/dir pulses on two wires to each axis. What you need to do is find out what controls the axis motors (you mention a 'step' motor, but you don't say what it is one) and what controls the spindle motor.
