Advice on converting my VMC

[JoeHarris]

.
Will be setting up a multichannel(24) National Instruments DAQ/ADC system analyzing the signals when i run the tool change.
That should give me a "time map" for all signals initiated with mS or even uS timing, and compare it to the schematics of the system.
Which again would give me insight to compare it to all the options with the CSMIO/IP-S unit.
Talked to Rob(The Engine Guy) at the Zone who bought a VMC300, and the guy owning it before him used a Koyo Direct Logic PLC to program and run the ATC.
That makes me wonder if i shouldn`t be able to do the same with the CSMIO/IP-S. And even with Mach compatibility.
Will start to tear down all the old electronics after taht, prepping the VMC for new shiny parts. Can`t wait :-)

I've been on this site for 4+ years now and that post means jack all to me!!! Going back to a conversation a few posts back - help from people on this site has been invaluable, do your homework and ask lots of questions before spending your money! Also if you are planning on buying an csmio ips - twinning it with some lame analogue drives which were outmoded 5 years ago seems mad for the sake of ~ £50 more for em806
