Its nice to see other Mesa users on here. Do you need the 10V power supply ie can't this be got from the VFD if it is only for spindle speed?

I am not sure I would connect the 24V -ve to the star Gnd. I would however connect the 5v and 24v -ve together.

Make sure you have the switches on the 7i76 in the correct positions, W2 needs to be in the right hand position if you are using external 5v supply Also on the 5i25 W1 and W2 should be in the down position (default) when using external 5v to the 7i76) otherwise the magic smoke will appear. If you know this already then fine.

PNP sensors work best on the 7i76 although I do use NPN.

I could not open your drawing in acad so find it a bit hard to read.

I didn't know this solution, I will take a look.
