Electronics for New Machine + Chinese Spindle + VFD

[mturneruk]

Thanks again for your help chaps.

It seems sensible to have the whole system shut down when e-stop is pressed. I would agree that it's a basic safety requirement.
So the next question is how to do that with a relay?

Jazz.
5v transformer in the box sounds sensible. I should be able to get a very small one. This could also possible run the case fans instead of 48v.

I think I understand what your saying about having one plug socket.
I would love to use one socket, but I was told to use 2 plugs by someone else at CNC4YOU so as not overload the wall socket. I thought 13A was the max?
Isn't the VFD using 8amps ish and the steppers / 600w power supply using a load more. E.g. Taking the load over what you can pull from a standard house socket?

EDIT : Can anyone confirm how many amps should be allowed for VFD driving spindle + 600 watt power supply driving stepper motors?

Obviously it's confusing on the forums, cause you have a load of guys talking about 3 phase and it's hard to tell what's what.
I thought I knew what i was doing. Obviously not.

If I have to scrap the case and get / make a bigger one I will (Or i might just take the VFD out into it's own box), but it would be nice to get it all in one.

Cheers
Martin
