Stuart Stevenson wrote about his Dah-Lih EMC2 conversion on the emc-mailinglist, and has allowed me to publish these pictures of his mill. I've scaled the pictures to 1024 pixels wide - click the picture to see it in high-resolution.
Machine after conversion.
Machine before conversion. Pendant has original CRT and buttons.
Control electronics. Jon Elson's PPMC cards at the top.
Relays and transformers.
The new control. The computer is a Gateway Profile 3.
There is a MagicTouch touch screen mounted in front of the computer.
Back side of control. The computer is connected to the PPMC cards by the parallel port only. Jog-wheel and buttons are wired directly to PPMC. The network cable goes to a Linksys WET11 bridge mounted on the back panel.
Anders,
very nice work.
it's great to see some pro work done with EMC.
Thanks

Wow DIN rail and a control transformer. Nice to see professional grade work. Sometimes we get so involved in "make it go" that we forget the long range value of systematic retrofits.
