Sorry I misread that@Hood What are you using the PLC for?
At the moment I use the PLC for general I/O and for the turret.
The controller I use at the moment is the SmoothStepper so all I/O is 5v but machine side is 24v so it was easy to use a PLC to get stuff such as panel switches etc into the computer.
On this reworking I will probably still use the PLC for the turret although when I helped a friend retrofit his Beaver lathe I did the turret as an axis and it works well so it may be a route I take. The general I/O can just go via the new controller (CSMIO/IP-A) as it is native 24V.
