Hello
I own retrofitted Deckel FP4NC. I bought it several years ago, it was disconnected from the control electronics,and was sitting for several years in my shed. Now I want to make it run again. Everything is pretty clear, except electronic gearbox controller. This FP4NC has electric gearbox controlled by 3 motors.
There is electronic board that manage gearbox work, it has PIC18F4520 microcontroller, and interface to PC via serial communication and DB9 connector. But except that I know nothing about how it works, there are cutted of wires, and they can be rearranged to cable by colors. But question is how does this work? Can anyone recognize this control board module? I searched internet but found nothing, I hope this is not totally custom design although it is pretty complicated thing to control gearbox motors. Whole electronics use MACH3 software, but I don't know if there is standalone software to control this board and gearbox.
I lost contact with seller, and can not ask him. Please help...
