    Hello congratulations for your forum.
    I've been following you for a long time. We have a simulator system with 2 AC motors and drivers controllers that brings us the real position of the two axes to our pc with a scale of -1000 to 1000.(integer variables)
    We also govern the speed of the two engines with two integer variables from -1000 to 1000.
    All this is sent by a PLC to our PC where the game is.
    How can we communicate these values within your software so that you can connect your software with our machine?

    Best Regards
    James

    Hi James,
    I was just writing you an email about this buddy.
    I'm guessing your hardware connects over a serial connection?
    Can you move the sim over a serial connection by hand (send it commands)?
    If so, can you show me an example of what is sent to the system?
    Chat soon,
    yobuddy

    [QUOTE = "yobuddy, post: 183622, miembro: 72"] Hola James,
    Te estaba escribiendo un correo electrónico sobre este amigo.
    ¿Supongo que su hardware se conecta a través de una conexión en serie?
    ¿Puedes mover el sim a través de una conexión en serie a mano (enviarle comandos)?
    Si es así, ¿puede mostrarme un ejemplo de lo que se envía al sistema?
    Nos hablamos pronto,
    yobuddy [/ CITA]
    Hola, gracias por tu rápida respuesta.
    Los 2 servomotores están conectados a través de un bus de apertura de lata o ip de ethernet a plc. El plc envía vía ethernet ip a la PC y en la PC he escalado las variables de posición y velocidad del eje real. No uso serial.
    Lo que necesita es poder ingresar estas 4 or more variables en su programa. Así como presentamos dll para la telemetría del juego o de otra manera posible. Esto ampliaría las posibilidades de las interfaces Simtools. Podría ayudar a probar servos y controladores. Agradezco su colaboración a todos los que amamos este mundo.

    Hi, thanks for your quick response.
    The 2 servomotors are connected via a can open bus or ethernet ip to plc. The plc sends via ethernet ip to pc and on the pc I have scaled the variables of real axis position and speed. I do not use serial.
    What you need is to be able to enter these 4 variables in your program. Just as we introduce dll for game telemetry or in another possible way. This would expand the possibilities of Simtools interfaces. I could help with testing servos and controllers. I appreciate your collaboration to all of us who love this world.
