Hi,
Is this UK based?
How much are these for?
RNR
Re: USB and Ethernet Mach3 motion controller PLCM-E3
Hi,
No, HQ based in Russia, but we can ship our devices to UK
At the current moment you can buy device E3p with PoE at promotional price 125USD(shipping fee add 40USD)
Here is manuals for the controllers: http://purelogic.ru/doc/PDF/Controll...sh/plcm-e3.zip
Re: USB and Ethernet Mach3 motion controller PLCM-E3
How does this compare to to warp9 tech design's USB SmoothStepper, and Ethernet SmoothSteppers?
I ask as I am looking to change from printer port, to USB or Ethernet very soon.
Re: USB and Ethernet Mach3 motion controller PLCM-E3
We've not examined ESS(have anyone got such experience?) but we sold a hundreds of Plcm series ethernet devices in Russia before ESS even was announced. In one word, plcm are stable, all known bugs are fixed(last bug wasregistered and fixed in march). Plcm-e3 have STABLE USB, while afair SS use FTDI chip and drivers, it hangs up after even a little interference, f.e. when you powers up a spindle.
There are some difference in pulsing engine - PLCM provide 100khz, but it's enough for most purposes. And you can't do threading on plcm, bur I'm not sure that SS supports this function.

That saved me asking the question, unless you can get a multi line encoder into Mach you are wasting time threading.
Re: USB and Ethernet Mach3 motion controller PLCM-E3
How would someone from the UK place an order for your products?
And how do you take payment? PayPal, Card, Etc?
Re: USB and Ethernet Mach3 motion controller PLCM-E3
At the current moment, during the spring promotion, you can send us an email to avv at purelogic.ru or address you can find on our website, with qty and model (E3 or E3p-with PoE) of devices you want, shipping address, name, contact phone and email address for PayPal invoice. Device will be shipped in 3-4 busines day after payment
Re: USB and Ethernet Mach3 motion controller PLCM-E3
I'm a bit confused, although that's not hard :playful:
It says " Controller can be connected to any BOB or CNC driver box (destined for LPT-port) via DB-25 connector."
If you are using the parallel port they why the ethernet and USB connections ?
Can you use this on just USB or ethanet and forget the BOB and parallel port ?

I assumed that meant the output of the controller can be connected to a parallel port connector on your control box. Some sort of simple cable to convert the connectors on the PCB to a DB-25 connector.
