Thanks a lot, that is now working as it should.

in case anyone is curious, have some cad and pictures 
ignore the messy home shop

I did find those files in lib/python3/dist-packages/gladevcp

Yes, those are the files you need to edit.

Over the last year I have been building a gantry plasma table with leadshine el8 servos and Beckhoff modules for I/O, I struggle a lot with software but have managed to get the motion going and calibrated in the axis interface following the guide below, the config files that worked are also below in a zip file.
The thing I need help with is how to integrate all of this into QtPlasmaC and how to map the I/O of the Beckhoff modules into the software.

I have a EK1100 coupler, an EL1008 digital input, an EL2008 digital output and EL3102 analog input to read the divided arc voltage.

Can anybody give any help, or tips on how to do this?
 

 I was out on a business trip this week and only just got to try this. I don't have a lib/python/gladevcp folder.

I did find those files in lib/python3/dist-packages/gladevcp. Would it help to edit them there, or should I leave those versions alone and look for them somewhere else?
Cheers,

To do a LinuxCNC retrofit (with existing servo drive and motors) you would need to know
the pinout of the 25 pin connector between the old controller and servo drive.

OK,das war bei mir aber nicht schwierig ,USB dran ,Com Port eingestellt und einmal gescannt - fertig ,klingt so als wären die Vorgängerversionen nicht so kommunikativ .
Nur bei dem Autotuning werd ich nicht schlau draus 

Just went to run dmesg again....after it finished...stretched terminal window...went blank...opened new terminal fullof read only errors??

I've had a look and we could generate a popup when the servo period has been changed in an existing config:

 

PR is here: github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/pull/4263

These are the nameplates on the drive motors, plus a list of documentation for what came with the machine. Plus, that is the first page of the amplifier, I believe. It's a 3-channel drive/amplifier from what I have gathered. I can send all other pages if needed. 

So this am I switched to another pc optiplex 9020...used same SSD...Got same error...
Ran smartctl...disc passed....just did fsck -f -y....got 4% noncontiguous as result

dmesg gave nothing in red

going forward you would need to use the usertabs for that. i am releasing a conversational plugin that will utilize that conversational tab so it is now no longer populating with the old bad conversational unfinished screens and macros.

Seems to be getting worse...

Sounds like some hardware is failing,

Does dmesg show any hardware faults (disk errors etc?)

Looks like the servo drive is a Copley 800-468, and older 3 Axis drive.
I suspect it's an analog velocity mode drive but its old enough that is
hard to find data on the drive. Was any documentation included with the machine?

Thank you Aciera, i do not use wizards as i am used to manually editing everything, but been forcing myself to use them lately.
