To see the 7I70s and 7I71 you will need:

Field power (say 12 to 24VDC) to the 7I70s and 7I71 (yellow light near CPU/jumpers "on")
Cat 5 cables from the 7I44 (say channel 0,1,2) to the 7I70s and 7I71
flat cable from 5I23 P4 to 7I44
a line in the .ini file that enables channels 0,1,2 of the SSERIAL interface like: sserial_port_0=000xxxxx

Thanks I have everything but the field power.

I am setting the Scale for the resolver. I have a pitch of .31496(8MM) ball screw and the resolver is geared at 200:127 so the resolver is geared to turn 1.5748 Turns per ball screw turn. But it works out to 1 Turn of the resolver is .2 inches movement of the slide does this make the scale .2?

Maxi velocity is 300 IPM but what is Max acceleration? Or what should I start at? Is it 300/3600=.08333

300 IPM/60 Seconds Squared

EMCs position units are machine units or inches in your case
EMCs velocity units are in machine units per second or inches per second (IPS)
EMCs acceleration units are in inches per second per second (IPS/S)

So a acceleration value of 5 (IPS/S) would be rather slow as
it would take 1 second to get to rapids speed (5IPS = 300 IPM), but probably a good place to start

Sounds about right. Was the 127 tooth gear deliberate? 2x 127 is 254, and there are (exactly) 25.4mm to the inch, so you get an exact metric-to-imperial conversion there.

I am sure it was It allowed Cincinnati Milacron to use a larger pitch on the screw and supply machines all over the world so metric and inch could easily be handled. These machines were the best in the world it amazes me the engineering that went into these machines back then. I have 1 Mill and four turning centers from the eighties this machine is a 10 inch chuck model that weighs in at 16,500 lbs. I just mounted thehardware this week. I am working on the operator station and then I hope to get down to the business of making something come to life again.

Have you seen this one? EMC2 controlled, and rather weightier than yours, I suspect. (unless this is yours too, which will leave me looking foolish, the initials are close)

That is a nice machine, I would love to have it, I need to get to that level with EMC.
