Slaved axis, 2 steppers on Y axis with a PLC4x-G2 ? what about the XP23 connector ?

[pierantoine]

Hi,
You are right, i have the confirmation from Purelogic that there is no hardware solution to a slaved axis solution and that "Usage of one channel for two drivers-motors controlling" But i think that the AM882 requires to much current for this solution.
but there is a topic where i could read that there is a big interest un doing this in mach3 to auto-squaring the gantry with the limit switchs.

I will also have a problem with the relay because i have a 2.2Kw spindle wich seems to much for the onboard relay... maybe a relay controlling another one with better current specs.

"If it can helps here is some infos that i've received :
In XP23 connector there are pins control outputs, PWN, enable.
When necessary these pins can be assigned for extra axis control. (it can be slave as well as independent)
You can also connect up to 6 axes to PLC4x-g2 (instead of the relay and spindle speed control).
If there is no such possibility, there is a perfect solution such as PLCM-E3 and PLCM-B1."
