Re: 2 Axis Motion at Last, Plasma machine ???¿¿¿ Its possible ???

Terry, glad to hear so good news.

I have been trying to set freqmod in order to get rapids of
4000mm/min or 160 IPM over a Pentium 333.

My max velocity with freqmod.o is 28 IPM without motors.

I have post question about this subject in this group and EMC group,
the response has been always, freqmod will need a power processor in
order to get higher rates.

Terry could you give any advice about your ini configuration ?
or better could you post your ini file in this group ?


TIA
