Sep 29, 2017 - I don't know the exact syntax that your Morbidelli uses but I believe the only Xilog post in our library is the for the SCM Prisma 110. If they have. Scm Group Xilog Cnc Software Group Mail Manager Premier v.2.35.36 Group Mail Manager is easy and affordable web-based email response, tracking and management software, that allows you to manage, process, and track messages sent to generic email inboxes such as sales, support, and info.
I have been an Aspire user for some time and am looking forward to the new aspire upgrade. Up to date I have been using the WinCNC PC based controller on some lighter weight machines 2000lbs or so ( 48' by 60' work area).
I recently got hold of an SCM 120S, 10000lbs, which falls in the heavy weight category for me. I am trying to figure out if an aspire post is available, the software PC interface to the num 1020W controller is what is called PC-MMI. The tools I use for design are Aspire and other software, they get the job done at reasonable cost. I have the machine fully functional and everything has been tested using Mcodes and Gcodes via the NUM MMI PC interface. I have attached a file ( normally called a.xpi file on the machine) can the vectric team let me know if you can do a post or let me know if a post is already available? Thanks very much. If anybody else wants to chip in with any information of comments it would be appreciated The SCM North America team have not been very helpful.
I do not want to go down the Alphacam route because I am very happy with the tools I have and money is an issue. I am confused about the Xilog platform and if Xilog can be run on this year machine. I think Xilog may even just get in the way, but I know nothing about it so better keep my mouth shut. If I can operate Gcode l similar to WinCNC I am happy. Naively, I thought I could just call SCM and ask them to forward the Xilog disks and operating manual, but of course they wanted to make a meal out of it saying a 2 day trip is required etc, expenses, etc --- $5000.00---. Not impressed, I have purchased other SCM stationary machines and love the brand but the attitude of the customer service is disappointing at best.
If you are lost in the desert do not ask SCM for directions to the nearest watering hole!!!

I am not an expert but it seems there are 2 types of PC interfaces to this machines NUM 1020W premium controller.
Xilog etc, which is SCM graphical type software and NUM MMI which is a more of an old school gcode interface. For some reason on early North American SCM machines they used the NUM PC interface called NUM MMI. In Europe at that time they were using Xilog, so I have been told.
Now all SCM machines use Xilog. I have been told by the Gods that putting Xilog on a non shipped Xilog machine would be akin to sending a manned flight to Mars. The post you mentioned creates code that does not look like traditional gcode.
Probably, because Xilog is a different beast of an interface maybe full of 1's and 0's. I have tried to get a manual for the machine's NUM MMI interface without any luck, like pulling teeth.
Even though on SCM's website they have a full parts breakdown down to the last bolt, basic operating manuals seem to illusive. 
This does not make much sense to me. I plod on waiting for a break.
The NUM controller in Vectric post library is probably the closest. I was hoping to find some other woodworker or Vectric ' boffin ' who is harnessing the power of this machine, without Xilog, with ASPIRE, so we can compare notes. Is has a 10 position tool changer and 4 vertical and 4 horiz boring selectable heads. Here is hoping. Posts: 2 Joined: Wed Feb 13, 2013 8:11 pm Model of CNC Machine: routech 120s. Hi I realise this thread is few years old, but it seems your questions are the same as mine.
I have a SCM record 120 router and would love to know the easiest way to drive this machine with large CAM programs (to big for floppies) in basic G-code mode via the NUM-MMI setup. Have you have upgraded your PC to a windows XP platform? Or are you using DNC software and drip feeding via serial port? I have not yet had any success and really need some help from someone who has been down this road and knows the difficulty of figuring it out alone.
