    Hi John, Maybe you misunderstood when I said I use a better quality relay.? It's only for the Stop/Start and not the 0-10V speed reference voltage.
    You don't need the speed reference going through the relay as it's only telling the VFD how fast to spin, it's the Start/stop signal that pulses it on off.

    Finder or Omron are both decent relays.
    -use common sense, if you lack it, there is no software to help that.

    I am only using the spindle relay function on the board to switch a 2 wire signal (24v) to tell the VFD to start the motor so very light duty and effectively the VFD is acting as a 3 ph., 1.5 Kw relay here .
    Along with its options for spindle delay , soft start , et al

    This KK01 relay started to play up on its 5v USB supply , so I had to add a 5 v PSU.
    Previous BOB also from CNC4you, also fell over . so I cant use its 0-10V facility .

    Is there a simple (I need simple ) spindle control relay capable of switching the signal voltage to start the spindle motor , then provide a 0-10V variable voltage to speed up and slow down the spindle as required .

    If it comes down to it I can stand up and hit the start button and twiddle the pot to increase / lower the revs, but as I normally have my lazy backside on my bar stool, it would be nice to be able to control it from the keyboard

    Presuming the BoB relay is up to the task of starting the VFD , then where do I take my 0-10v signal from ?
    Does UCCNC facilitate that?
