The Kflop is capable of Modbus, so I'm thinking of using an arduino for the toolchanger control, but that's a job for in a few months time, once the basic machine is running.
As it happens we will be building our machines together. I am in much the same state of affairs as you are. I am replacing the steppers with servo's and amps which I have sat here next to me. It sounds like we will be running a parallel course. I have just ripped out all the controls on both the machine and controller, so like you I am starting from scratch. Does your Summit controller have the PLC incorporated or is it like mine and uses a relay matrix?
