First draft of the electronics.

There will be a possiblity to communicate with a plc or pc. Communication with plc will be modbus RTU to be compatible

with a whole range of plc's. All GCode will be transfered from de grapical PC GUI controller.

Direct communication with pc will be with USB or TCP/IP , WIFI.

The controller will generate GCODE with subroutines directed by digital IO.

There will be a hand controller to manualy position to points, by pressing a button on the controller the position will be written to pc. If all GCode was been written the program can be saved on pc and be uploaded to the robot controller.

The robot controller can work without the pc when program has been sended. Pressing de home button shortly will start/stop the robot. By pressing and holding for 2 seconds the robot goes to homing position.
