Retrofit of machine was created by asdqweqweqg
Hi,
I'm considering retrofitting old (90's) milling machine, industrial type. For now i know that this machine uses -10V..10V to drive spindle (with internal tacho) and -10V..10V to move axis (XYZ). It has magnetic linear encoders for each axis. Given that i have a few questions:
- should i use mesa cards or bechoff ethercat?
- what kind of PLC logic I will need to write (lube, coolant, safety) afterwards?
Any kind of help will be appreciated.

If you don't want to replace the servos, go with Mesa.
