Configurable to any pin.. get the same error when using pin 12 (like usual) but no wire connected :)Quote:

The non-existent pin may actually point to something that does exist.
I'd assign it to a pin that physically exists, and also wire the pin either high or low. I've got no idea how pins on UCNC controllers are configured/wired, so leaving it unconnected means it could be floating high/low.

Just guessing?

The e stop circuit is made of e stop buttons and a momentary button driving/latching a relay.
This relay supply the signal to the bob for e stop and power the drives psu and vfd.
So in my thinking a fault in relay or e stop buttons would disable drives and vfd aswell...

Okey..
Made some changes.
Jazz will get upset because I made several changes at once and should this work I still don't know the fault :)
I looked at all wiring and found some places where I could improve so a little better cable management. Moved my relays with 24v logic further away from 230v and 50v.
Also disconnected and removed vfd control from the bob. Had it connected to on/off relay and 1-10v speed control.
After these changes it's been running 3h without fake e stop.
Read on cncdrive forum about similar problem and it turned out that it was interference from switches that caused it. Strange when the e stop was set to port and pin 0!
If it continues to work for me I need another solution for vfd control! Is rs485 to usb twowire system ok?
But that only let's you control speed and not start/stop from system? Or am I mistaken? :D

Clearly depends somewhat on your controller (being a HuanYang) and the plug-in for UCCNC (I've not tried it, but it seems pretty basic functionality - I've got the code for the LinuxCNC driver and it's just a different control sequence that gets sent).
USB interface?, it's fine using that for a USB->Serial convertor - there's nothing time critical sent over this interface if all you're doing is controlling spindle speed etc (standard chinese AC spindle, etc). Just use a decent twisted-pair cable to connect the interface to the spindle inverter. (also, I can't remember WHAT connector I used - but I found it easier to fit a 2-pin connector into the side-wall of the inverter to allow the modbus interface to be easily made/unmade (my frequent changes to the control box solution made me want some flexibility between modbus and discrete control).
Yes, you are mistaken. I don't know which VFD you have, but as far as I know, all VFD which allows RS485 control has at least on/off/forward/reverse/speed commands. I control mine via Modbus protocol and even download some monitoring data.Quote:

...which I don't use because I wanted Ethernet control, so I bought this one:
Attachment 24219
Both works reliably, and in fact, you can also buy a WIFI version, which I'd probably go for today, if I not already had this wired one.
Thanks for the help!
I love it when I'm wrong and it's actually easier than I imagine :D

Damnit! E stops again!

The solution is simple.??? . . . Dump USB and Go with Ethernet UC300 :joker:Quote:
