CHIRON FZ22L LinuxCNC retrofit

Hello everyone,I have a CHIRON FZ 22L it has sinumerik 810M controll on it, the machine is unreliable and the wireing of the digital inputs/outputs is done bad, and the automatic tool change is not working, I would like to rewire the inputs/outputs and put Mesa boards on it, the drivers motors and spindle are good I would keep them, it has SIMODRIVE 611, I thought of using 7i92TH 7i77 7i74 7i71 7i71 7i70 7i70 7i70 can I connect 3x 7i70 and 2x 7i71 on 7i74?The machine orginally has 136 inputs and 64 outputs,
Any suggestions?
See pictures below
Thanks for info

Yes, 8 boards can be connected to 7i74, but do read the manual as one of those connectors has additional functionality or power running through it.

for the IO, I would add 3 of these store.mesanet.com/index.php?route=produc...83_88&product_id=110

and a 7i77 or similar should be able to handle the servos, spindles etc. I thought those drives were all serial or can though, but I might be wrong.

Are you sure you need that many I/O ports? Is the control panel also included ?
For the control panel you can use 7i73

Don't forget to keep us updated  


 

I'm not going to lie, I need more io for my machines than a 7i77 can offer. But for now I've just ganged up function's on a relay board.

I'd like to be able to regulate chick pressure, monitor hydraulic pressure, my tailstock is hydraulic in entirety, I'd like to run my estop functions from my drives to the hal.etc.

Honestly it's kinda crazy how expensive io is. Small run board production isn't as cost effective as we'd all like however.

Phoenix contactor has some plc stuff that eventually I'd like to write a driver for.

But yeah io, I need more myslef the card i linked is kinda the best $ per port of io

I'd love it if Linux cnc supported these, and we could get a quality unit from mesa electronics
